You've got your feet at right angles. Should be straight but floppy, as the actress has never said to the Bishop.

We could hold the world's first backwards swim kick drill race, and, in USA style claim the winner was the World Champion... :-)

Yes Gobi, a common problem for serious runners. That's why I don't suffer from it. ;)

Well I can't get my foot in line with my shin so my solution was not to kick and the subsequently not to swim, lol.

I also go backwards when kick only and have very inflexible ankles. Nothing to do with running, I've always had them.
