Form Quick Tips

• Relax breathing with shoulders and arms.
  
• Arm swing – smooth movement at sides of body, forward motion, not crossing center line.
• Avoid wasted motion – sideways or unnecessary movement wastes energy.
• Run tall! – leaning slightly forward - allows for full range of motion and efficient breathing.
• Leg stride – driving motion forward with full range back kick as speed increases.
• Foot strike – mid foot, up on your toes for your kick to the finish – remember heels are brakes and will slow you down!
• Uphill running – lean forward, shorten stride, increase arm swing and stride frequency.
• Downhill running – lean forward (gravity is a gift), increase stride frequency to avoid braking motion with heels.
• Positive Thoughts – remember the mind-body connection, concentrate – relaxed and fast!

A race is a work of art that people can look at and be affected by in as many ways as they're capable of understanding.
