Comments on: Big Bum Running http://www.warriorwomen.co.uk/2007/02/21/big-bum-running/ Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention to arrive safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: Wow!! What a ride!

I'm surprised your not slipping about in all that snow though. Thanks for that, you look a lot more natural than the strange toe tapping bloke in my clip.

I thought your form looked good. You lean forward which is half the battle. I find it easier to kick the heels back rather than concentrating on landing the foor & it just happens. That being said the balls of my feet rub & I get blisters there & I think I bounce around a fair bit - I couldn't balance a book on my head like the guy in the 2nd clip For another take on forefoot running you can download a free PDF book at the following <a href="http://www.gordonpirie.com/" rel="nofollow">Gordon Pirie</a> I agree with the principles behind pose / chi / Pirrie running & try to do it but photos at BPTT still show me heel striking.

I'm a heel first striker, rolling on foot to ball of foot then lifting off. Maybe I should try it one day. Love the videos (and music) For the second one, I think it needs a comical ending (hey, that's just my opinion). I can’t offer any advice re – running styles.

I would encourage you to visit posetech for others. Here is a good place to start (has commentary by Dr. Romanov): http://www.posetech.com/video/index.php/weblog/haile_gebreselassie_video_analysis/ That does not look like the best example of pose method running.

I thought your style looked quite good actually! My feet tend to "flap" and I make a heck of a noise when I run. I'm a bit away from getting videoed however...... You looked comfortable - and isn't that the most important thing? I see what you mean about the running styles. I thought your style looked quite good actually!
