Thanks for the great video! I got your book early Jan and spent the most of the year practicing form and I’m almost done with the suggested program. Amazing how much form improves speed. Did a 5k best today :-)
I started running with a metronome at 180 to help me with cadence. But I love your teach on striking the ground with the back leg to drive forward. makes a lot of sense!
Your videos have been so helpful for me as I get back into running a year and a half after my spinal surgery. I've missed running so much and it's so hard to get back into. It's great to find running form tips that make sense for me. I completely forgot how to run over that time! What would you say is the best thing to work on first? Thank you.
This is great to hear and first off, focus on frequency and consistency. It is better to do LESS, more often, than do more miles on a given day with less frequency. And the most important thing to focus on is foot strike placement. Just focus on this and things will fall into place. This will also really help your torso stability. Keep at it and as always keep running strong!
Another great video. Thank you for this! Really self explanatory when you show the movement. Been trying to increase cadence but difficult to surpass 165/170spm
I’m working on all this at the moment. Cadence from 170-180, tall posture and push off which seems to engage my posterior chain. My effort is through the roof though. I did an easy pace run earlier and my HR was around LT. You’re definitely right, frustrating but it all seems like the right thing to do.
This is most likely due to your increase in cadence. So let this gradually get better and better, so you are not always spiking your cadence to the high end all of the Time. Work on it when running very easy and slow. Keep at it.
Great video! When applying force into the ground do you have to be careful though to have light footsteps so not jolting into the ground and losing energy? Also is there a trade off where cadence drops a bit when increase length per stride?
Great questions. These might help: ruclips.net/video/XAXt0bvLfos/видео.html ruclips.net/video/cTZZQ73VgoQ/видео.html ruclips.net/video/CtoM4uK3FK8/видео.html The lightness comes from your good forefoot to heel strike and then your elastic energy from this landing helps your apply force and "spring" your forward. The more force that you apply the more energy you create, so just the opposite. And I like to keep cadence as consistent as possible regardless of speed. Granted, a sprinter will have a much higher cadence with greater distance per stride. Most runners need to work on having good cadence when running EASY. If you are losing cadence when running faster, you need to work on your isometric strength in video above. Hope this helps.
Great point as shorter limbed runners might rely a little more on cadence and long levered runners a little on length. But both can work on both cadence and force to improve across the board.

Heel strikers also land underneath their point of gravity, not so far ahead of their body like you do in video.
Hey Eric! Your Book arrived yesterday and i am almost half way through! I have a few questions, first I do not have access to a fitball. Is there any way to do something similar or is it okay to leave these out? My second question was whether you think if I am able to run 2km in 6 minutes in a years time. I am young, skinny though right now I struggle on a 5k. I know you need to let things time, yet it would be another motivater. In 2 years time I want to compete in a 55km race, we will see how realistic this is. Anyways, great video!!! These videos are super helpful, I miss wandering around in the tetons and the Yellowstone. Been there on vacation, was fantastic! 🗺😊
Awesome, great to hear. Get creative with the ball exercises. Obviously doing them with the ball is key, but if you cant get one, try and modify the concept of each the best you can without. Rotational movements are key. As for your second question, start the program and lets see how you progress. I know this will help answer your question and super hard for me too, not knowing your ability and potential. Do your mile test and let me know what that time is and I can give you a better answer. Let the training begin!
Born To Run Coach Eric Orton Thanks for your response! I am so excited to do the training, this morning were my first 5 minutes bare foot on the track. Ran yesterday an 800m Test, had a 2:45 (also barefoot). I don’t know if this helps. I will do the mile test tomorrow! I feel like flying when running barefoot compared to my shoes (they are not zero drop). So excited 😆
Hey Eric, I run barefoot the majority of the year, but I’m looking for a pair of trail shoes that are waterproof to run in this winter. What would you recommend?
@@nathanielwalcott3656 sounds like you are upstate in the 'real' cold. If it stays cold and dry, I would take a look at some of the Inov8 shoes, namely, the X Talon or Orca. The X Talon have great deep grippy lugs for snow and frozen terrain and are wonderful. The Orca are orienteering shoes that have carbine spikes, if you need them for ice. But look at X Talon first.
I consistently hear people guiding to not get waterproof shoes. They’ll hold water in just as well as they’ll keep it out, and there’s no good way to keep water out. Basically, waterproof shoes don’t really exist and they’re just marketing crap.
Great video for all levels of runners! Such great reminders to veteran runners and incredibly helpful for beginning runners and everyone in between.

Coach 🏃♀️ I am stoked to practice the two together 🏔👍
Also thanks for the videos, they’re great!
Thank you Coach
Great illustration! Thanks.
Great video! Thank you!
My mile time dropped about 30 seconds in almost no time by listening to 180 bpm music and focusing on the type of form you teach.
This made my day. Do potent, kudos to you for buying in. Keep it going and run strong!

Awesome. As you get better and better at cadence, focus on "feeling" the cadence. Thanks for watching and your comment.

Start doing the isometric drills, they will help you get off the ground quicker to help cadence.

Thanks Eric will do. I only started the change two weeks ago so it’s early days yet 👍🏻

@@BornToRunCoach that's great! Thanks for reply. Helps get it clear in my mind.
Thank you!! Excellent explanations, What about height vs stride? Different height can vary the stride length, so the magic number of 180 can change.
Great point as shorter limbed runners might rely a little more on cadence and long levered runners a little on length. But both can work on both cadence and force to improve across the board.

Sometimes you have to exaggerate to make a point when teaching and coaching.

Hey Eric,
I run barefoot the majority of the year, but I’m looking for a pair of trail shoes that are waterproof to run in this winter.
What would you recommend?
Where do you live and what type of terrain during winter? This will help me answer.
I’m in New York. The ground is frozen hard most of the winter. I’m also planning to run on snow

@@mikewilson0 yes, I am not a fan of gore tex as it traps heat, causing feet to sweat even in the cold.
Born to run and Born for FUN keeep it PUUUmpPt up with the FITnESs fRaNK!

Training for 102 mile run next!
