An Austin, Texas, entertainment website wrote up a quick article on the Pose Method of running and included a short video on the basic Pose to change of support move. If you've taken one of my barefoot running clinics, you know all about transferring from the Pose position into the falling motion by pulling your foot off the ground. The woman in the video, Valerie Hunt, does an excellent job of demonstrating this pulling motion.
The article interviews a 48-year old man who says running is Pose "almost feels like I'm cheating a little bit." Once you get the muscle movement down and understand the concept of Pose, you're able to take advantage of gravity to do most of the work for you. I refer to it as lazy running since all you're doing is trying to get your legs out of the way of your body so you can fall forward faster.
If none of that makes any sense to you, please contact me to come out to a barefoot running clinic in Central Park to learn all about it. Also, check out posetech.com for more on Pose running, and visit the Links page for some great barefoot running links.
Have an awesome Memorial Day, and enjoy the hot weather we're in for!
