Runners Connect – Running Form Course

Click Image To Visit Site Our online course will help you run with proper form by teaching you the science of running biomechanics and provide you with a simple-to-follow, progressive set of exercises, drills and mental cues to help you make lasting changes to your form.

If you are not a member at a gym, you will also need some equipment for the routines assigned in Modules 2-6. If you don’t have these, they can be purchased online. While I know it’s an additional cost, you will be able to use them continually after this course is completed.



You can purchase any set you prefer, but here are links to the specific sets we used in the videos: Theraband Set, Medicine Ball (we recommend 4lbs for beginners and 8lbs for intermediate – although you can go heavier if you want), Swiss Ball (a medium size ball (65cm) is fine.

If you have any questions please feel free to get in touch. We’ll be more than happy to answer any of your questions.

Are you confused by all the conflicting information about what proper running form really is? Tired of sorting through the hype and one-size-fits-all approach of marketed running styles?

Actually, let me rephrase that. There probably is some biomechanically perfect way to run based on the laws of physics and optimal efficiency. Unfortunately, due to your individual biological makeup, it’s virtually guaranteed that YOUR optimal and best running form is going to differ slightly (or maybe even dramatically) from this biomechanical "optimum".

To do this, we need to start by learning the basics of running biomechanics. We’ll teach you by using an easy-to-follow, step-by-step process that breaks down each aspect of the gait cycle into easy to understand sections.

No marketing, no bullshit. Just proven information verified by the latest research on running mechanics.

Once you understand the elements of proper form, we’ll assign you very specific drills, strength exercises, and dynamic stretches designed to help your body develop the strength, flexibility and awareness to move through the gait cycle as it was designed.

This structure and progression will address your strengths and weaknesses to develop a biomechanically sound running style adapted to your biological uniqueness.

This course isn’t designed for runners with advanced degrees in kinesiology or anatomy, or those that have published papers in research journals.

While we utilize the latest research to support every claim and recommendation, we keep it simple by using relevant examples, demonstrating every movement (using both good and bad examples) and not getting bogged down in technical jargon.

I’ve been obsessed with running mechanics since I first picked up a copy of "Explosive Running" by Dr. Michael Yessis. I knew exploring the weaknesses in my own running form could lead to faster times and fewer injuries. Over the years, I’ve poured over research, watched countless hours of elite runners in slow motion, and experimented with every bit of information I could find.

But, when athletes I coach would… Read more…
