Most books on running form revolve around the premise that there is
an ideal form all runners should try to achieve. These books
explain how that form should look and how runners can work to
emulate it as closely as possible. Research and experience show,
however, that people can run effectively in a wide variety of
patterns with some key universal elements. Unfortunately, the
constraints of our modern lifestyles change how we move, limiting
our range of motion and weakening key muscle groups. Runner's World
Your Best Stride is designed to help runners counteract those
forces and regain their own unique, powerful and effective stride
that will carry them through endless, injury free miles. Building
off of his viral Running Times article from April 2014, "It's All
in the Hips," author Jonathan Beverly details his search for common
ground among physical therapists, podiatrists and coaches on which
elements of running form are universal and how to improve them. For
instance, he explores how footstrike is actually a by-product of
the movement in your knees, torso and arms. Specific exercises show
readers how to counteract tight muscles from excessive sitting,
howto improve limited arm mobility from hunching over electronic
devices, and ways to improve speed by lengthening your stride. All
of this culminates in an approachable guide to human movement, and
a practical tool for improvement.
