Until you get your form analyzed, you really have no idea what you are doing.We all think we run like Kenyans or Ethiopians that just need a little tweaking.
But until you see yourself in video, you really don’t know.

That is why I like to start my coaching sessions asking clients to tell me what they think their form looks like. And then shock comes around. I even had the occassional kenyan get REALLY upset when I showed him he was heel striking. The truth is, we all have a very romantic idea of what we look like.
Make sure you get some video, and have an open mind about it.
It’s better outside, the treadmill forces an un-natural gait.
