"Shufflers & Pushers": inefficient, "horizontal" running technique

This video outlines the goals of efficient running:
1. optimal (long) stride length
2. optimal (fast) cadence (steps per minute)
3. optimal, foot-under-body landing (avoiding excess landing stress)
Video describing inefficient running techniques utilizing horizontal strategies:
• "Shufflers" - forward (and low-swinging) hip flexion
• "Pushers" - rearward, hyper-extension push-off, overusing the knee and ankle
This also describes the challenges and consequences of horizontal strategies.

Thanks for demonstrating it
Others just describe it in words

Ignore all manbuns.

[@yeahhhhh9209]

thanks very interesting.. can i ask you what shoes are you wearing in the video?

[@uhanperformance]

Good question! Those are (long-discontinued) Pearl Izumi N1 Roads!

It’s very difficult to change your style of running

[@uhanperformance]

It is! But so is changing anything. Gotta weigh that difficulty with the potential payoff for improvement.

[@stluciestrength]

Almost like you’re watching my running! Now how do I fix that problem? Thanks
