Over the last couple of weeks, we have dedicated some time during the morning classes to developing the pose technique in your running.

I am sure that most of you understand the technique, and most of you got the drills correctly, but getting the running technique is a whole different ball game.

It can take a lot of practice to get it just right, don't expect to change years of running technique (or lack thereof) by just understanding a new concept and wanting to do it. Unfortunately it is a whole lot harder than that.

Another problem you will run…

I've not read through all of the links and watched all the videos yet, but have read through your blog post and the first link outlining the rationale behind Pose Method. The question I have, and have been thinking about when trying to use Pose, relates to the point made in the first article that says "Running technique is the same…regardless of the speed…". I understand the Pose Method in principle, and the whole "free-falling" concept makes sense (even if I can't actually do it yet…), but it seems to be so much more manageable at a faster pace. I'm finding it difficult to keep the lean forward going when jogging at a slower pace. So – in short, what other adjustments need to be made to the technique in order to be able to "free-fall" at a slower, jogging pace? Any thoughts?

The difference between running faster and slower is just your angle of fall and how high you pull your foot from the ground. 

So at a slower speed, you still lean forward to fall, but at a much less angle than if you were sprinting. 

Your feet will not be lifting off the ground very high at a slow jog, where as at a full paced run, they could be up under the bum.
