This presentation will take an in depth look at how we should run to be highly efficient and economical vs the way many athletes run today along with the obstacles that prevent us from stepping out of the box to become the free and natural runner. We will start by looking at the way most people run today, the shoes that we have available and how they affect our gait, the natural way we are designed to run, stride rate and length, body posture and other specifics that are critical to make the transition.

1. Intro to Running Free and Natural
2. The way most athletes run today
3. Shoe selection and barefoot comparison
4. Ideal body position ie: head, hips, arm carry
5. Stride rate and length that leads to becoming efficient
6. Foot strike and transition through the 1st metatarsal push off
7. Practice time

This will be an indoor/outdoor clinic. The first part of the clinic will be held at JackRabbit on 14th St in a classroom format, using the video system on JackRabbit’s treadmills to demonstrate differences in running form. Then we’ll take a jog over to the west side highway, where you’ll work with Joe and his Northeast coach Steve Fluet to practice some of the things you learned and get a feel for how you can improve your running form. Please come dressed to be indoors for 1:30-2:00 hrs, then to be outside exercising lightly for about 1:00 to 1:30 hrs.
