Peluva athlete Brad Kearns delivers a comprehensive stepbystep lesson to learn all the important attributes of correct running technique, and how to implement these simple, easytounderstand and visualize tips immediately. This instructional video can be tremendously helpful for you run with greater ease, efficiency and enjoyment, and to prevent microtrauma and overuse injuries caused by poor technique. It's best to learn correct running technique wearing Peluvas, because elevated, cushioned shoes compromise good technique and posture.

Here are the key attributes of excellent running technique that you’ll learn in this video:

1. Posture: balanced center of gravity, straight and elongated spine
2. Vertical force production: this is the key to increasing running speed
3. Forwardfacing: Strive to keep pelvis, torso and shoulders facing forward, minimizing inefficient sidetoside rotation (thoracic and shoulder mobility is okay)
4. Arms: pump from the shoulders, forearms and hands relax, pick and preserve angle (e.g., 90 degrees)
5. Footstrike: Land underneath COG, tibia angle vertical, midfoot landing
6. Bicycle pattern: A great cue is to run like you’re pedaling a bicycle—dorsiflex the foot as soon as you leave the ground so foot comes quickly up and under glutes—a circular motion
7. All speeds: Correct technique is relevant at all speeds from slow jogging to sprinting! You are just making shorter, less forceful strides (smaller pedaling circle)
