During the week I do interval runs which I think does help my speed.<br /><br />I also am trying to do chi running. Every so often I check my form. One thing Dan Dryer says is everything should be moving in the same direction, like you want your arms back and forth in the direction of motion. He also suggested pushing your arms back instead of pumping them. It's kind of weird and I've only tried it a few times.ERICA https://www.blogger.com/profile/13631969628256018546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5985664838954149514.post-72850701943058373402011-02-27T10:41:40.910-07:002011-02-27T10:41:40.910-07:00My run yesterday was all about form.

Trying to think of posture, and running smoothly, and elbows back, and shoulders relaxed and low, and with light feet, and mouth relaxed, and keeping cadence up, and right body lean, and and and. My thinking is that if you run better you'll run faster. AND be less likely to overdo it or injure yourself. Which is the important thing.Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09364395150014197905noreply@blogger.com
