Gravity is Magic! no-one knows how it works, it just does, and is therefore Magic - many have postulated with their postulators about it, but the best they can come up with is "It's really complicated, you wouldn't understand (stupid!!) It's stronger than me - because it's got more stamina. It'll keep on doing whatever it does long after it's pulled me to the ground!! this is my inference from the sneeriness of the 'clever' people, and may not, in fact, be what they think about us Amoebic Pond Life types at all

I'm not sneering at anybody, I just don't like people presenting poor science as fact and was disappointed by the site for this reason. It may well be that pose is the best thing ever for running. Being just a smidge slower than you makes it difficult to criticise the method!

But of course you are correct, gravity is not a "strong" force in that it is easy to break out of e.g. put your arm in the air: wow you just beat gravity. The thing is it is constant and pulls everything no matter how massive at a consistent acceleration. Just look at the influence of the moon on the oceans of our planet.
