Make your Running More Efficient
December 12, 2006
I recently came across a good article from the seeMOMMYrun website, a website that helps running moms connect and form running groups. The article asserts that though we've all be running since we were kids and it seems natural, many people are not running efficiently.
The author, Dr. Roger Brobon, says, "The directions of your toes, ankles, knees, hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, head, and eyes can either give or take away efficiency to your run. The foot should first contact the ground on the bottom and slightly outside portion of the heel. As your hips begin to pass over the foot, the weight will be transferred from the outside of the foot across the balls of the foot. Next is the toe off phase where the weight comes from the inside ball of the foot through the big toe. Now the foot cycles through for the next impact."
