Pose, Fall, Pull

I used to hate running. I felt clunky. Every single step always hurt. I didn’t even know there was a technique to running, I just thought you did it. Then I heard Dr. Nicholas Romanov’s way of explaining it.

Romanov is a Russian sports scientist and creator of what’s known as the Pose Method of running.

The Pose Method breaks running into three components.

Pose: The running pose; the whole body vertically aligned, shoulders and hips over the ankle of the support leg.

Fall: Leaning forward to shift your center of mass forward. Running is controlled falling.

Pull: Pulling the support leg off the ground as you lean forward creates the gait cycle, allowing the opposite leg to come down be the support leg.

Check out this podcast with Dr. Romanov to hear more on this thinking and dive deeper into the Pose Method.
