Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ok - not really a POSE question, but a good running style question (so valid here). I am aware and have been told I flick out my legs when I run (this is more common to female runners I believe). It hasn't caused me any injuries, but I believe it is an inefficiency. I am not really aware of when I'm doing it, but it disappears I believe when I run fast. Question is what is causing this (wide hips/ knock knees / feet splaying out when I land?) and what form/strengthening exercises might help to prevent this?

Chrisull, Can you post a video of you running so we could see what you think is happening?

I can try - it's hard as I'm only aware of it because other people have told me about it, (three or four now). I'm not aware of when I'm actually doing it - one person behind I know remarked I started doing it at the end of a 3k race as I tired.

I'm guessing if I get someone to video me run and I am conscious of them videoing me then it might not occur!!! (Sorry if I seem like I'm making excuses)

I am reading on the Internet, that apparently it's similar to "horses dishing" , the leg swings outward of the knee and one person has said it looks positively uncomfortable, another said that they know of two other runners who do it as well, again it disappears at full tilt.

It's possible this could occur if you're iether not swinging your arms forwards and backwards or swinging them across the centre line of your torso. Iether of these can cause your upper body to rotate (to act as the counterbalance of your leg swing) -this in turn could cause your legs to swing outwards

Chris, it is also possible that fatigue at the end of the race is causing your focus/capability of maintaining better technique is lost. I am making the best guess I can based on what you've mentioned thus far.

If you want to get people to watch you running - you need to video yourself using your mobile phone or digital camera. Side on, full length for a few strides, is sufficient. Use a cloud storage system as discussed here
