We all run in =Simplified Overview of Pose
The principle of forward motion is the same way, there are many styles but we all move because in any style you run. That is we all reach a tipping point that causes our body "to fall" and we use gravity our legs to fall over. recover from “that fall” to move forward. Some will argue we push but our muscles activate to hold our bodies up and rigid so fall is turned into torque and when we run the force required to do this is greater than walking so it can feel like we push ourselves along but there is evidence that we don’t, none of us.
If we want to reduce impact and run along with a minimum of effort we need to land as close to this tipping point as we can.
Pose method is a method of teaching this. We teach how we move and reduce all other efforts to move by other means. We get our students to land close to this tipping point (the running pose) and fall from it with minimal braking and elevation. The method relies on changing perceptions and reducing deviations from the standard that is the pose.
AS a teaching method this works for some. There is no reason on earth why someone should choose pose over any other method as all methods are valuable and the choice is personal. The end result is all that matters because running is supposed to be fun.
Revised
Although there are many “styles” of running, we all move in the same way, that is we all have a skeleton that is designed to allow us to stand up in the presence of gravity and muscles that both support and move the skeleton, many of us add extra unnecessary actions to the muscles that move the skeleton, move, resulting in harder work and sometimes injury. With Pose method of teaching But when we hold a 'pose' which is aligned shoulder, hip, heel, then we reach a tipping point, enter into the presence of gravity allows us to fall over! Some will argue we push, but “tipping” phase, our muscles activate to hold our bodies up and rigid, by aligning our posture into 'the pose' “the pose” fall that is then turned into torque. When we run, the force required to do this is greater than walking so it can feel like we push ourselves along. But there is evidence that none of us do this.
If we want to reduce impact and run with minimal effort, we need to land as close to this tipping point as we can.
The Pose method is a structured approach to learn how to get close to this “tipping” point (the running pose) and fall from it with minimal braking and elevation. It Through an appreciation of Biomechanics, it teaches us to become aware of how we move and how to reduce all other efforts to move extraneous efforts, by other means from an appreciation of biomechanics. The method relies on changing perceptions and reducing deviations from the standard that is “the pose”.
This is a good method if you are prepared to practice the drills to help you to sharpen your proprioception to how your body should move, as well as want to understand the “what”, “why” and “how” the methodology works to enhance your performance.
Which Running Technique Should I Choose
There are a number of different methods to teach running techniques to reduce injury and enhance one's overall performance and the choice is personal. Whichever teaching method you choose, it is important to remember not to get so caught up in the miniscule detail details and over analyse, such as becoming obsessive about the exact inches of where your feet are on landing in comparison to the ground/body etc -when etc. When touching your finger to your nose there is maths involved in the exact angle your elbow needs to be - your brain calculates and performs this without you realising, you're just aware you touched your nose - so why should running actions be any different? It is fine to think about it outside At the end of running but the day, the actual end result is all that matters. After all for the majority, running is supposed to be fun. We are humans with passions and desires to run well and to enjoy it it, and this is as important as the biomechanical actions we perform whilst running.
