passion for running category: form,running on Wednesday, October 26 2005

I hadn’t planned on it, but today I went for a 30 minute jaunt in the river valley.

Today’s focus was entirely on form. I wouldn’t allow myself to deviate at all from proper foot contact and from lifting my heel quickly and cleanly from the ground.

Guess what? My leg and ankle feel better tonight than they have for quite some time following a run.

The further along I get on this journey to re-engineer my form, the more I realize form is everything.
