Still interesting reading mind. Steve for me I never think of lean, to go faster (sprint) I just pick the foot up higher and the rest kind of happens actually. Not sure how mind but at Football I seem to have picked up some speed that I thought I had trained out!

Just imagine bodyweight taking your forward and lightness on the ground. Don't try and consciously think about keeping the feet up with the body; you don't have time in a sprint. Try this during your next run....Put your arms to the side and and back behind you (as if you were a kid playing jey airoplanes). When you do it, it will give you more freedom to lean and feel the your bodyweight taking you forward. It takes practice, lots of it, and lots of time. Rome wasn't built in a day.
