Great info, I didn’t realize I struggled with too much vertical oscillation until I started working on increasing my cadence! Videos like this help a LOT. I was a soccer player and didn’t really start running seriously until recently. It’s weird and can be mentally taxing to have to THINK about your form but I know I won’t be able to complete those long distance races wasting energy!
This is the part of training that most of us "runners" find boring.... ...until we get injured and realize, we should have paid more attention to basics. Thanks for giving time to teach stubborn people like me. 🤣More power to the two of you
Thank You coach Sage and Sandy Great video ! Started using STRYD power meter and leg spring stiffness and vertical oscillation focus have been a game changer for me . I’ve applied your advice , it’s reassuring to I’m on the right track !
Thanks for this insightful video. I've been recording my runs lately using a smart watch and I never even knew that vertical oscillation was something to be aware of. Although I've always thought that running should feel more like gliding than bouncing up and down, I now see that I still have more to learn. Thanks for the tips!
So I watched this video yesterday and read an article online about "falling" as you start running and maintaining that position to improve my vertical. I'd say both this video and that article helped ALOT. I saw immediate results on my run today. I thought I was running slower (in order to ease into this new method) , and it felt slower as well. But I actually ran significantly faster (according to my fitness watch). Although it was signficantly more strenuous, since I've nvr before felt my glutes working while running. Also according to my fitness watch, my vertical was decreased as well. So I'd say this is really good advice. That's why I commented.
interesting tip. i started running 2 weeks ago (very low pace, obviously) and I have a vertical ratio of 12% which i think is pretty high. i tried to lower it in a few runs but did not have much success yet.
When I tried "falling" while running I felt more tension on my rear ankle area (supposed to bend at the ankle and not the hips) like a Michael Jackson lean, except not as drastic. Also my middle back was pretty tense as well from rolling my shoulders back to maintain a better posture. The article also recommended to practice the starting position several times to get good muscle memory. Hope that helps
I feel surprisingly little difference effortwise between running uphill vs on flat ground. If that's not due to too much bounce, I don't know what it is...
I find my average training pace cadence is a difficult thing to change, especially deep into a run where I’m getting tired. On race day it doesn’t seem to matter; turnover is high and spot on within range. 👊🏼
I found an MP3 metronome on the internet and set it to slightly faster than normal then I would run with that for about 5 minutes then run normal. I did that a lot one year and eventually the cadence worked itself up. My easy pace cadence is now around 178-180, race pace 190 (for half marathons).
How do I develop or use my glutes. During long runs I can feel like quads and my hamstrings are sore after. Garmin vertical ratio is 9.5% or lots of energy wasted.. in my opinion
Stay low. Bo always told me to keep my rear end down and churn the feet or I'd burn my legs out stomping. Don't run like Stampy, the elephant from the Simpsons, or you'll tangle your knees. That's how speed work works. Nice little minute I save when I stay low, and go low enough that I think I'm gonna lose the ankle. That's a tough pace on a flat track, but you need something smooth under your foot or you'll roll the ankle on the smallest little pebble or twig when you can't keep your toes up and wake up from that fancy little dream with all the polished glass. But hey, if you got the carpet and a new pair of microtread shoes with less flex, your gonna feel it all the way from your heels to your diaphragm. You get the quads burning and the knees hurting too quick--you're settling in for ten's and not notching much more for distance, because your time on feet has become a bottleneck. So we gotta weight train the deadlift and stay light on the feet. Bounce around on the forefoot until you hips drop an inch and the form drains through the sweet spot. Good workout is based on how many cramps you get before you swill that bottle of water, not how much you sweat. I'm looking for a 1.20 half. Sip sugar water and ride the caffeine pills to the limit. IAAF says 12 mcg per kilo. Don't exceed 10. That's a fun time. Don't catch the big fish and let it go without Strava on. Amateur mistakes. 😂🤔😎😂🤣😎. Needless to say 1.20 isn't happening if there are hills involved. 🤔😕🤫🤭😅😆😂
My Garmin watch statistics brought me here... Looking forward to my next run now.
Hah garmin brought be here too.

Thanks guys. Good short tutorial and not information overload for a novice like me 🤙
More Sandi. She’s a more concise coach!

Very-very good Video...
Thanks...
Forever... Run...
One good, current reference is jakob ingebrigtsen.
His form is so good it seems like he is jogging those world records!
Amazing explanation! Thanks a lot!
Jazz guys thanks for sharing now I fiablly understand what my Garmin watch is giving as information all the time!
This is a great video - I learned so much
Great corrective Instructions, very inspiring !!! Thank you for sharing ❤️🚒🚒🚒

From the pneumatic situation it became a oscilating on the left and the runner on the right with no arms just legs aka women on itv news
Good stuff
Thank you!

wow where is this? this is the most beautiful track i've ever seen. that view is breathtaking...... let me get a gel pack

I also cant get above 165 spm. I prob need to just to 1/4 mile repeats on the flats 3x a week.

Ian Loughead Nicely don’t! The work paid off! 👊🏼
blair elander Yep! Those repeats will help!
Been running for a month an my calfs are always tight when running
Very helpful infos
What is an average bouncing hight
I thought I had a stress fracture in my foot from too much bounce, but I can't seem to help it 🙊
Hi sir...sir for wich type of running form is this video plzz tell
Harry Potter reference? New subscriber!
This explains why my quads burn so much....and my butt is lazy!!!!
How do I develop or use my glutes. During long runs I can feel like quads and my hamstrings are sore after.
Garmin vertical ratio is 9.5% or lots of energy wasted.. in my opinion
Get some glute stretches in!!!!
I feel like im bouncing on my left leg and that may be causing my itb to flare up.
So what is considered to much bounce? 7cm, 10cm, 15cm??????
Mo Farah looks too bouncy when running next to Kipchoge. My favorite runner of all-time, form-wise, is Hicham El Guerrouj
How much is too much?
jonas tawiah dodoo explains running form and mechanics really well too.
Land with a bent knee. Don't be so straight legged when landing. Look @ Eliud in slow motion
Ravenclaw rather than a Slytherin 😄... Yes caught that one!
I have a sneaking suspicion I’m slithering along…
Hi I m from india 🙏🙏🙏🙏 plz tell m about how to run with knee pain
Harry Potter joke. Cute. Hehe.
Yeah I wasn't expecting that 😂😂😂
Sometimes its pointless watching such videos as it confusing what one is doing correctly
Lol "my quads got over developed, right?"
Bit awkward
