Running form
Running form
Any advice on fixing a form. I feel I might at times be slouching forward and heel driving I correct it but just keep going back. Kinda getting back into it (started on and off running Jan - April but stopped) but couldn't remember how too have the right form

I no longer run due to a myriad of health issues but this post popped up. Watch a video on "chi running". Overly dramatic name for forefoot running. Hard to do at first but really pays off. The book is good but a few years ago didn't offer much over the free videos I found.
Is it anything like slow jogging?
When I do it? Yes. J/k
I was always a slower runner but this technique allowed me to get my pace faster without injury. It takes time to understand the technique, build muscle memory, and then increase your pace.
But when I was really into this and running daily (something impossible for me before learning forefoot strike) I had no problem really pouring it on within the limits of my ability. The technique requires a more forward lean for higher pace and it's not going to work day one. I think I was probably a month into it before I really understood that aspect and then it started adding sprints every so often into my normal pace.
