The correct way to run is understood by the individual to be two-fold: the running plan, or, the running form.
The running plan is not correct or incorrect. In short,My plan doesn't necessarily work for you.
Running form can be generalized:The correct running posture is the way to run fast without injury.
But in reality, there is no such thing as the right running form.
That is, 'the correct way to run' is a false proposition, and there is no such thing as a correct way to run.
To illustrate with two extreme examples.
1 The saying that marathon runners do not have the correct running form
Marathon runners have been running long enough, is there a proper way for those top marathon runners to run? Otherwise, I would have been injured after running at high intensity for such a long time. Specifically, the forefoot landing? Landing on the middle forefoot? Landing with all your palms? Or, the hind paws hit the ground? Which right?
London Marathon champion Kitata is the fastest man in the world to run on his heels.
Others mostly land with forefoot or full palm, such as Kipchoge, Bekele, Farah, etc.
2. The saying that the 100-meter runner does not have the correct running form
Jamaican flyer "Usain Bolt" has a peak power of 13% more than his left leg when his right foot touches the ground; At the same time, his left foot stays on the ground 14% more than his right foot with each step." Theoretically, this left-right imbalance will only lead to slowing down, which is prone to pain.
However, this style of running is adapted to his own conditions "congenital scoliosis, asymmetrical mechanical properties of the legs, the right leg is half an inch shorter than the left leg (about 1.).27 cm)" and take the most suitable running form. If Bolt had pursued the so-called "right running form", he would not have been able to run so fast.
Therefore, the correct running form is the running style that adapts to the characteristics of the individual's body, that is, the one that adapts to oneself is the most suitable.
I've seen a guy in the stadium running laps before, he doesn't stretch his running form, he looks tired, but he just runs fast. When I asked, I found out that the veterans, who have more than 18 minutes in 5 kilometers of cross-country with weights, are faster than my fastest results!
3 Commonalities of running form
Although there is no 'correct running form', for the vast majority of people, since it cannot reach the level of counting one hundredth of a second, there is still a commonality of running form, that is, the movement is natural and efficient. Including posture running, tai chi running, and more.
Personally, I don't think there is any need to change my running form unless it is true that my running form violates my physical characteristics and causes injury. The above two books may be inspiring, if you are interested, you can leave a message, I will introduce these two books in detail.
Finally, let me tell you a shocking secret: everyone's legs are not the same length! It's just that the difference is not felt.
