Descriere

Running technique is often an afterthought for many runners, one that's not thought about until an injury or plateau stops them achieving their goals. Running Form highlights how important proper technique can be to elevating performance. Author Owen Anderson has coached several elite runners from around the world.

In his new book, he identifies the components of good form, including foot strike, stance time and posture. These help runners understand where to make small changes that improve performance. Readers are then able to analyse their form and apply specific drills and exercises using a basic video equipment or a smartphone.

The guide features numerous photographs that help readers clearly identify the correct angles and movements need for sound technique. Running Form gives readers all they need to perfect their running technique and train consistently.
