With running season in full swing, I want to share my video on running posture to help you achieve your best performance.
Running can be simple and enjoyable when you harness your body’s natural spring and the force of gravity. Instead of fighting the run, think about literally falling forward, using your hamstrings to lift your heels up behind you. It’s about efficiency, not effort.
Key Posture Tips for Running Success:
Good posture is essential from toes to nose, both in life and while running. Here’s what to keep in mind:
- Stand tall but stay relaxed: Focus on keeping your body aligned without tension.
- Ears over shoulders.
- Shoulders over hips.
- Hips over knees.
- Soft knees over feet.
Now, here’s where the magic happens:
- Fall forward from your ankles: Let gravity do the work for you.
- Arms bent at 90 degrees: Swing them front to back like pendulums, without crossing the midline.
- Pull heels up: With a relaxed ankle, lift each heel up behind you, one at a time.
- And repeat—that’s running!
Aim for 45 steps in 15 seconds for optimal cadence and foot strike. Check out this quick video to see it in action:

Is This Program Right for You?
Let me ask you a few questions:
- Have you signed up for a race but feel confused about how to train?
- Have you tried running before, only to end up injured after just a few days?
- Are you aiming to run faster, improve your technique, and feel better with each run?
- Do you find yourself relying on random tips from social media that just aren’t working?
- Are you overwhelmed by how to train, unsure how far to run or at what pace?
If you nodded yes to any of these, you’re not alone. Running can be confusing without proper guidance, and without the right structure, you risk not reaching the finish line, getting stuck in frustration, or worse—suffering a chronic injury that sidelines you.
