I will race to that lamp post. Is that any good?

( mind you thats not quite true as I will be in grp.2) Form I believe refers to how you hold yourself and position your limbs when you are running, to not overstride, not twist body, not fling arms about too much, try and keep shoulders relaxed etc. etc. chi running thread goes into it in more depth. It helps to avoid injury and stops wasting valuable energy. makes mental note not to stand too near forest faerie at the finish, specially in new trainers
