Proper posture is the critical first step toward improved running form – one that sets the stage for more-efficient movement. By keeping your upper body aligned, steady and relaxed, energy is conserved and refocused to where you need it in the lower half. Keeping your head upright and your gaze forward will, in combination with the proper lean, help to propel your body forward.

midfoot

Stand with knees slightly bent.

Reach your arms toward the sky, elongating your body.

Bring your arms down while keeping everything else in place.

As you run, keep your head up and gaze forward.
Your arms should swing easily from the shoulders with elbows at about 90 degrees.


Good Form Running can be achieved in any footwear, but a shoe that encourages a more neutral foot position will be helpful for many runners – particularly those embracing a midfoot strike for the first time.
