Seems the normal way of running isnt good enough and someone had to invent a new one?

Just sounds like a way of explaining what most good runners do.

I thought Pose Running was when you go prancing along with one of those daft arm-band iPod holder things?

Exactly, it's basically the opposite of the "jogger's plod"

Isn't this just "running like a girl"? 😉

I think it's more "running like a nancy" 😉

Mrs S converted to pose method a couple of years ago. Its not quite as simple as "not running with a jogger plod" and there's lots of material on it. Her performance has dramatically improved on it though.

i've taught my girlfriend to run like this, so yes 🙂

she says 'it's not really running because it's easier'...

Isn't this about finding clever ways of making money from an activity which otherwise would be simple and free?!

Hmmm. The 'Pose' runners still get hammered by all those little african fellas who've never had anyone teaching them that they are running in the wrong way....

From what I can see, "pose" is trzing to get runners to run like those little african fellas who've never had anyone teaching them that they are running in the wrong way....

...and what's wrong with good old fashioned English running? THe running that worked so well in the Guns of Navarone, Colditz, the Great Escape and Chariots of Fire?

It was found to be less successful in Zulu.

It's not like "those little African fellas" don't have any training though is it ?

They don't just nip over to Kenya with a box of Nike Running Spikes and hand them out randomly to get Olympians.

[quote= Article about Kenyan Runners]....Have you noticed that east African runners train much different than runners from everywhere else in the world? No one seems to notice this. Everyone is so focussed on their superior genetics and use this to explain away their own losses. Kenyan runners in particular are brutal in their training methods. A Kenyan running group or a cross-country training camp is scary. Athletes need to reach an elite level before even being invited to attend. The training is at such a level that even some of the world’s best struggle.

Thats because they didn't run in any way. Unless you mean the Zulus in which case I don't believe pose running is known to stop bullets.

How is it a money making scheme, I know a number of runners who run pose and spent nothing on doing it? Largely it is just about avoiding heel strikes, which we all know helps out the knees of fatties like me. Go to an Ely club run and try to beat a guy called John, then tell me it doesn't work 🙂
