MD yes that is what I am saying - POSE is not pointing your toe down and reaching for the ground with your toe - do that and you will hurt your calves
The Ball of foot landing is a consequence - read my post above

CT - I have fallen arches or flat feet in old fashioned terms, if I'm landing 'squarer' on the base of my foot could I do damage. Can my arches support a none heel strike ?

so, concentrate on not having the leg like a "h" but more like a "4"?

There is a whole lot of geometry that people observe- but because people observe them does not mean they actively do them.
We all want to run like Hailie - but he just runs - we see him land ball of foot and we think I will land ball of foot and I will run like Hailie - we dont we just hurt ourselves - because the Way Hailie looks uis a consequence of what he does - all he does is pull the foot from the ground as quickly as he can and feel the pose - That is what he says he does) Paul tergat says he picjks the foot up as quickly as he can and lets the opther foot drop
What we see is a consequence of these actions - so these are the actions we should do - not what we see

interesting comments there CT...I know that I spend way too much time analysing what I do when running...focusing on how it looks rather than what I am actually doing, and you've made me realise that when I look back at my recent attempts at POSE all the best runs have come when I've just focused on lifting up and letting the foot fall.

Just pull the foot from the Goddam ground - that is all (that is what Dr R says ad nauseam)

This is a very interesting and useful thread - thank you.
I realise trying to teach myself something I read on the internet the night before isn't necessarily the best way and I take the point about circles and pear shaped. Would I be best starting by concentrating on always landing on the ball of my foot (which I sort of think I do anyway) or would I benefit more from going to the gym and running on the treadmill next to the mirror and really looking at what my legs and feet are doing (safe in the knowledge that also I will not bump into anything/get run over doing this!)

Neither
the best thing you can do is get the POSE triathlon book and the DVD
then do the drills - The most important drill is
become aware of your bodyweight through the balls of your feet and the pose
you can do both in the shower, at work whenever you stand etc
Always stand with your knees slightly bent and your hips and shoulder over the balls of your feet
And learn to stand in the pose with good balance
