This is a video that was taken three years ago, when I had just started running. It was shot just as my technique was falling apart and later on I went through more phases than Bowie to try to correct it - however, it only got worse. In the end I just said forget it all, took a long break and then started all over again last October as if I had never trained before.
Watching this video all over again I spot two big mistakes. One is that the angle of my arms are very tight. The other one is that in the process of getting upright I end up being to upright and as a consequence go up and down, but not forward, overstriding in the process.
Anyone else agree with this? Anything else to comment on?

(The quality is not very good as the original was analog and to get it to digital I had to point an old digital camera at the tv-set.)
