Form Quick Tips

• Relax breathing with shoulders and arms.
  
• Arm swing – smooth movement at sides of body, forward motion, not crossing center line.
• Avoid wasted motion – sideways or unnecessary movement wastes energy.
• Run tall! – leaning slightly forward - allows for full range of motion and efficient breathing.
• Leg stride – driving motion forward with full range back kick as speed increases.
• Foot strike – mid foot, up on your toes for your kick to the finish – remember heels are brakes and will slow you down!
• Uphill running – lean forward, shorten stride, increase arm swing and stride frequency.
• Downhill running – lean forward (gravity is a gift), increase stride frequency to avoid braking motion with heels.
• Positive Thoughts – remember the mind-body connection, concentrate – relaxed and fast!

We run, not because we think it is doing us good, but because we enjoy it and cannot help ourselves...The more restricted our society and work become, the more necessary it will be to find some outlet for this craving for freedom. No one can say, 'You must not run faster than this, or jump higher than that.' The human spirit is indomitable.

- Sir Roger Bannister
