Having problems with message search?
I have never ran with someone who was running Pose, so I can only speculate from what I have read and from photos and drawings I have seen. Actually, cold weather running has probably made me conform more to the Pose method because it involves minimal horizontal foot strike versus vertical. I think my form was sloppy last year when it was warm, because I tried to run that way when it got cold and found that I was scraping. I would allow my "mass" to get ahead of my feet. This is different to me than "falling forward" like Dreyer teaches in Chi Running. For me, it has to do with pelvic position which is what I understand to be what I should be concerned that does not get ahead of my feet. My upper torso then has the ability to fall forward to help with inertia. Don't know if the way I describe it makes sense, but when I'm doing it, it feels right.

Rick,As you know from lurking :), the distance from barefoot running to Pose isn't too great.I'm curious to know: how different is your running style from that of Pose, if we take the essentials of Pose to be: knees always bent, feet never beyond the center of mass, high cadence, feet lifted up rapidly with hamstrings rather than legs pulled up with quads, and use of greater or lesser "lean" (i.e., gravity) to regulate speed?On 5 Jan 2005 at 18:11, Rick Roeber wrote:I think it would take some practice before I could run at any typespeed on ice, Jerry. Actually, that sounds very logical that they wereusing the Pose Method to run that way because they would be forcingtheir gravity down through their foot strike to hit evenly withoutsheering. (I have spent a bit of time on the Pose Method DiscussionForum as a lurker, so I know a little about it.).Hope to have you posting some runs here before long. Hope yourrecovery is going well.BRJerry Griffin <jerryg@...> wrote:Rick, you might be interested to know that I've seen videos ofvarious people -- including some kids -- running, at a very good pace,on sheer ice. They were doing it using the Pose Method of Running,with which I think you are familiar.-- JerryOn 5 Jan 2005 at 21:57, Barefoot Rick Roeber wrote:An interesting and instructive run today. We got about an inch offreezing rain last night and then about an inch of sleet today. I wentout after lunch for my daily run. The sleet was actually like snow onthe wood chip trail where I ran about 3 miles. Then, I switched overto concrete and asphalt for the final 3 miles. Actually, this seemed abit smoother than the normally cushy wood chip trail. My technique isdefinitely different when it is slick. I find myself doing a full-footplant with shorter strides which eliminates most scraping. I ran the 6miles at a little less than a 10 minute pace, but that's what feltright.Here's a pic of my footsies that I took with my picture phone.
