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!

inspirations
"Why do you run?" Because you are wondering if your grandchildren will too. Because it is raining. Because you can, and others can’t. Because it is faster than walking. Because that shaky leg thing is all about nervous energy. Because you can’t fly. Because your personal best is just that, yours. Because the pain of a blister is nothing compared to the pain of stopping. Because you like the resistance the wind gives you. Just Because!
