and1thousand Aug 2015 11:53pm, 25 Aug 2015 First-time poster!!	0 and1thousand Hi! Sorry if this is not the right place for this question. Does anyone know of a Pose-knowledgeable person in the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States area? I have had an appointment with a man named Tracy Peal (http://www.tracypealspeed.com/TracyPealSpeed/Intro.html) who is very knowledgeable and astute but costs a lot of money. I'm hoping to find someone trained in Pose Method who is cheaper or covered by insurance. Please let me know if this question belongs elsewhere or if you know of any resources. I found this page from here (http://www.runnersworld.co.uk/forum/general-running/pose-method-of-running/8237-247.html). Thank you! Seth

As far as I know, only one was based in the US. I am not sure this is much help, but nonetheless suggest you post your question on the Pose thread.

Canute Sep 2015 7:20pm, 5 Sep 2015 1,687 posts	0 Canute What is the secret of Mo’s awe-inspiring finishing kick. It is clear from an examination of many of his races, even preceding his time with Alberto Salazar, that he runs with a remarkably long stride and low cadence in the mid-stages of a race, and then maintains this stride length while increasing cadence to match his opponent sin the final lap. The best way to achieve a long stride and relatively low cadence is to utilise recoil energy efficiently. Mo appears to do this by dorsi-flexing his ankle by around 10 degrees immediately prior to foot-strike. I have reviewed the evidence for this on my Wordpress blog canute1.wordpress.com

Canute Sep 2015 8:00pm, 5 Sep 2015 1,688 posts	0 Canute I suspect the dosriflexion also helps the 1500m speed.
