Form matters! Keep your arms relaxed at 90°, land midfoot, and let your stride flow naturally. Good running form reduces injury risk and makes every mile feel smoother. Start with short form drills during your warm-up.

Form matters! Keep your arms relaxed at 90°, land midfoot, and let your stride flow naturally. Good running form reduces injury risk and makes every mile feel smoother. Start with short form drills during your warm-up.
Strong form starts with small cues: relaxed shoulders, quick cadence, eyes forward. Focus on one element per run and watch your efficiency improve over time.
Midweek miles feeling heavy? Focus on your form—keep your shoulders relaxed, eyes forward, and let your arms swing naturally. Small tweaks turn tough runs into smooth ones. Keep pushing!
Hobby
Running as a hobby is much more than just putting one foot in front of the other; it’s a diverse activity that blends physical exercise, mental discipline, and a strong sense of community. It can range from a casual activity to a deeply competitive sport.
The Weekly Breakdown That Got Me to 50km
“Hitting 50km wasn’t magic; it was math. It meant scheduling two easy runs, one speed session, and a weekend long run that topped out at 20km. This is the exact plan I followed to go from barely 10km a week to 50km.”
You're running longer, which means new problems: shin splints, knee tenderness, and sore hips. It's the battle of knowing the difference between normal fatigue and a potential injury. The feeling that your lungs are on fire and a sharp side-stitch (transient abdominal pain) hits around the 1-2km mark, forcing you to stop and walk. Thinking, "How is everyone else doing this? I can't even get comfortable for five minutes." The mental fight to push past that initial, intense burning sensation.
The complete, sudden loss of energy (hitting the wall) that typically occurs after running for 90-120 minutes, usually around 14-16km. This is where your body runs out of accessible glycogen. Learning that running long distances is as much about nutrition (pre-run food, mid-run gels) as it is about fitness. Overcoming the deep physical dread that follows a complete energy crash.
The 18km mark feels endless. Your legs are tired, but your mind is screaming louder. This is the point where you truly test your grit. Realizing that the last few kilometers are purely a mental exercise. The struggle is developing a mantra or a powerful reason why you are running, which you can deploy when your physical strength wanes.
Unlocking Pain Relief: The Truth About Foot Strike and Running Injuries You Didn't Know
In this video, we explore the important link between how we run and the injuries we might face. We'll discuss the rear foot strike and how it can help reduce knee pain. But we also need to be careful about changing our running style too quickly, as it can lead to new problems in our feet and ankles. Join us as we talk about these issues and share tips for staying safe while running.
If you’re from out of town, work late regularly, and have traveling plans it might be tough for you to make it to my weekly Running Form Class. I hear you. Instead of 4 one hour sessions in 4 weeks perhaps we can try 2 session per week for 2 weeks, or 2 hour sessions? Looking to help her friends complete, have fun, and stay injury free for this year’s NYRR Brooklyn Half, Kisha asked if I can bundle The Running Form Class she took along with a virtual Brooklyn Half Training Program. Of course - yes. Here’s the group completing their 2 hour immersive Running Form Class this morning in Central Park. I hope you all were able to take something away from todays class! _ #runningform #howtorun #bkhalf #brooklynhalf (at Central Park, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cps0OlIOGRS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
“I almost can't understand how I was running before” - Joanne, Athlete Here’s a before (above) and after (below) JoJo completed my Running Form Class. Yes she’s going to look great in race photos, but more importantly my hopes is that going forward JoJo’s runs and workouts will feel more effortless and it will keep her injury free so that she can have more fun running. The Running Form Small Group Class starts at the beginning of each month. Each class includes 4 sessions and each session is an hour long. We meet once per week and sign ups for February is up now! _ #runningform #gaitanalysis #howtorun #runningcoach (at Chelsea Piers) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnkszUNL2W4/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Back in May/July, this group of friends came together and took on my Running Form Program (small group edition) to prepare for an efficient, injury free, strong, and enjoyable Fall marathon. For some, it will be their first marathon ever. So, to see @hi.sarai and @yildiz_m here strategizing and apply my Elevation Rules on this past weekend’s @nyrr #NBBronx10M course makes me super proud coach. This is one of the most dedicated, sharp, and consistent group I’ve ever worked with, and they will run their best marathon yet this Fall. Watch out for them! #mychicagomarathon #tcsnycmarathon #runningform #runningcoach (at Bronx, NY) https://www.instagram.com/p/CixrCCLua3N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
