Pete gives his top 3 technique tips to get you running more efficiently. Posture, cadence(arm carry/swing), and foot fall.

But really there is a hundred tips in this podcast as each topic is explained in detail with many examples of drills, technique, cues, and much more to focus on. Including a fourth overriding cue that you must think about at all times.

Pete talks about what shoes he's been wearing, what he likes in a shoe for different runs and situations.

Xero shoes are Pete's "go to" training shoes, everyday sandals, and dress shoes too!

Don't forget to give us feedback and questions you think of about running and shoes. We'd love to do a follow up podcast on these topics again soon if we get your questions :)

Yeah Hi it's me Tate and we're here to talk about running today so I'm pretty excited because running is one of my favorite things to do and talk about and we're going to talk about running shoes running technique barefoot, fore foot, changing, sticking with what you've got so many things . Let's get into it so one of the main things that always comes up around running is technique and form how to be more efficient. And when I'm talking to the guys that I coach about sticking to math hot right that's one key element but the next. I really need them to send me videos of how they look when they running. Because there's such big time gains to be made by improving technique especially at a slow pace so when you're running fast everybody runs. Sounds fairly similar. Why did easier to run? Just run faster than it is to run slow with good form efficiently so when the Ghazal asking the math and at the start they running maybe around that six minute case which is pretty slow running. It's quite hard to hold good form at that at slow pace so it's crucial that we get them on the track with good form and say they videos. which is this is a Ramada as wells to some of them to sending their videos so that we can give them good fade back and get that progression happening sooner? So they're not running at six minute case so it doesn't feel slow and painful handful running at math. We want to stick with the same hot right but improve your spayed with good technique and overtime that improvement will also be in the aerobic capacity. So that you'll just get faster and faster so all the Times that I've spoken about running technique and taught running technique comes down to just has three things. The three main things that I recommend people focus on the first is pasta. The second is cadence or carrying swing thing and the next is footfall. How's your foot connecting with the ground? And what position so the four I get into. It is WANNA stay that everybody is different different. Everybody will look different running. Everybody's going to have different by mechanics. I longer limbs shorter torsos all that different stuff so these are just my recommendations for how you could improve your running. If it's not for you then don't worry about move on get some feedback on how you can improve your personal technique so first off. Let's stick with posture posture is. It's like running proud so a standing toll thing toll not only connects the mon- with good feedback but it also helps switch on muscles in the body that weren't normally switched on so good.
