Pose Running

This is a great "how to run without injuries" book which I have incorporated
as my key reference running manual. The author is Dr. Nicholas Romanov, a Russian turned American citizen.
The essence of Pose Running is to run on the 'ball' of the foot, that is, the area just behind the toes and use the elasticity of that area to bounce off and from there on,to propel forward as if running down an inclined slope.
Many people run with the heel hitting the ground first which is the cause of many heel and ultimately hip injuries so the Pose run should be practised the following :

1. Maintain a slightly tilted forward stance-as if you are about to tip over
2. Back to as straight as possible
3. After your body's centre of gravity has tilted enough, you will be forced to
move or fall on your face, that is the time to propel forward
4. Run

I tried the Pose Run for last year's marathon and achieved my best time ever
without any major cramping. Verdict : It works ! Thank you Nicholas !
