Fenland (Fenners) Runner
I'm pragmatic. In almost every occasion, higher cadence is better than lower. Therefore smaller strides are better than longer. And the goal is always to 'land' nearest to your COG (Centre of Gravity). That is it..... All the heel/fore/mid foot landing is a lot of tosh (in my opinion). I'm tempted to say that they is a distinct link between people wrecking their calves and fore foot landing but I'd better not

Even with 180 cadence on the metronome video evidence shows me slightly heel striking. I think my foot extends out because I'm too upright - probably could do with a proper lesson.

I saw "my" gait analyst in London, while I was staying with Elder Daughter. In fact, it was she who introduced me to him, as she'd consulted him herself. I quite often stay in London, so could see him again. Thanks fxor the blog reference, Jenny, I'll chase it up.

I've booked J and I onto a one day workshop with Jon Burdon at the end of April. Looking forward to it! Videoed again today and there are improvements - feet much better at least. Funny how you feel as though you're pattering along quickly and it looks really slow on film!

Jenny - yes, you're supposed to lean. Lean 2 inches, then as you begin to fall your legs start running; that way gravity is doing most of the hard work and your legs are just keeping up. That seems to be the theory, anyway.

Yes I get the theory - it's putting it into practice that's the hard part! Because I'm running again from scratch though, this is a great time to really try and change the way I do it.

Yes, that is a good time to learn new feelings with running. As the Chi running folk say, little and often helps to build muscle memory.

I'm doing the C25k programme at the same time (two birds etc) but also doing some drills and stuff in between runs. Seems to be working so far.
