Today we would like to pay tribute to a moment in running history - the sub 4:00 min mile, by the legendary Roger Bannister. He did what others said couldn't be done. Doctors predicted that a runner's heart would explode if he ran a sub 4:00 min mile. Bannister decided to do it anyway. Doing so he correctly predicted that after he broke the momentous benchmark many would break it, many more times after him. He was right. Bannister was a truly amazing athlete and person with an accute intellect.

There are numerous ways to warm-up before a training session. The way you warm-up could depend on the weather, or the type of training you will be doing, etc. The possibilities are endless. Dr. Romanov presents a very basic warm-up routine that will prepare you for a run. The warm-up consists of three major parts which include 5 to 15 minutes of easy jogging, drills to set neuro-muscular patterns and enhance perception, followed by short strides to acctually prepare you for your run.

Everyone has been curious about these new barefoot shoes from Vibram that came out in March. Some fed their curiosity early, others want to hear some feedback. We recently got our hands on a few pairs. For the most part, Dr. RomanovÂs advice is - try emÂ. They are fun and unique shoes. There are certain neuances that need to be sorted out, but that is a manufacturing issue. Dr. Romanov has mostly positive things to say about these unique barefoot slip-ons. So go ahead, try-emÂ.

Dr. Romanov discusses the first step in running. Most runners dont pay much attention to the first step in running. However every journey begins with a single step, the most important step. Taking the first step is not landing, but rather leaning first, pulling, and letting gravity do the rest. See for yourself.

Aside from the many similarities, Pose Walking is different from running because when you extend your foot to land it is unavoidable that you will land ahead of the body. Your attention should be focused on quickly landing with your bodyweight on the ball of the foot. Some important rules to keep in mind are: Keep your knees bent keep your turnover high (fast walking) Arms are only for balance Do not lock your knees, or overextend with your foot. Increase your cadence if you would like to go...

When compared to jogging in terms of technique, it would seem that fast running or sprinting, is considerably easier to maintain. However, there comes a point where we cannot physiologically run any faster. The key is getting as close to that boundary as possible. The responsible factors in increased speed are lean and cadence. Keep your focus on lean (fall) and cadence (pull, pull, pull) and avoid trying to over reach or overextend your foot forward to give yourself a "larger"...

Running slowly is often harder to do than running faster. How so? Well, for one, running slowly still requires a high turn over. This has two purposes, first to use elastic compenents of our tendons (less so than sprinting but some none the less), and second to keep ground contact to a minimum to avoid injuries by not allowing you to load your knees and other joints with unneccesary weight. So, slow running or jogging is really running with a slight lean, a more compact range of motion, while...

Hips control your ability to fall forward. Your hips' stability and strength conditioning allows you to fall more freely and efficiently. It is one of the most important strength conditioning exercises in the POSE Method. The drills covered include moving the hips up and down from the push up position with varying difficulty. Dr. Romanov is aided by Debbie Savage in this presentation.

Running at night is not as scary as it seems. While we do not recommend going trail running at night for obvious reasons! Dr. Romanov does recommend running at night on a familiar course in order to further develop your perception. The most obvious factor that is missing right away is eyesight, it's amazing what you start to feel and perceive when you aren't being guided visually! Try it for yourself tonight and let us know! This week we are running at night.

One of Dr. Romanov’s most asked questions is “how do I know if I’m running correctly?” Apart from feeling no pain while you run, there are many different forms of perception that Dr. Romanov goes over which help you analyze your technique while you run. To maintain consistently good form you should focus on a tight high-frequency turnover, with the support foot landing directly beneath the body. POSE perception is this Wednesday’s highlight.

Here we examine Emil Zatopek's technique and particularly his forefoot landing. As you can see, as soon as he lands his thigh muscles tense for one frame. On the hand, the other competitors' thigh muscles stay contracted for more than 4 frames. This directly shows the unnecesary muscle exersion during active landing with no benefit. This weeks topic is active landing!

The two challenges of uphill and downhill running can be the breaking point of any race to a runner. On the uphill you can expend all of your energy, and on the downhill you can injure yourself - with both factors leading to one thing - poor results during your race. Today Dr. Romanov briefly touches on the subject of uphill running with a quick demonstration as well as some sample footage from the ING Miami Marathon this past week.

When on support at the starting blocks, the majority of your body-weight rests on your hands. When you release your hands, your support shifts to your feet. This steep angle of incline...

Falling is the third element of proper POSE technique. It may seem simple, but that is rarely the case. As Dr. Romanov says at his clinics, "POSE is simple, not easy." Many times, common errors can include leaning from the waist or trying to fall from a heel strike landing. All elements of POSE must be executed each time you run. This week, Dr. Romanov covers leaning, body alignment, and falling from the POSE stance. (Featuring Debbie Savage)

There is a popular misconception that stretching helps you during your runs by preventing cramps. However, this is incorrect, what does help you is the flexibility of your joints and ligaments in addition to your muscles' ability to relax on command. This allows your body's systems to work together in synchronization and in-turn helps you avoid pulling or hyperextending tissue.

BobBeaman is an example of good form with a high range of motion; a lot of it has to do with build. If you witness closely, he pulls his hind foot on time, and is in Pose position almost as soon as he lands on...
