Hi joconnor,

I had to consciously re-tall myself on every single contact…until it progressively became a habit.

That strikes a chord with me! Thank you!

The main thing that’s jumping out at me is that your shoulders are stiff. Your arms are moving, but the shoulders aren’t rotating about the central axis, which will limit the hips rotating properly as well, thereby shortening your stride length. Let the shoulders roll.

I was watching a Tom Tellez youtube yest and that exact same thing came to me. Thank you! Very sharp eye.
I seem to be moving my arms from my elbows down but not my shoulders at all hardly!!
Thanks Guys - plenty to work on

Any advice on the best angle to video myself running. I usually train on my own so getting someone to video me is hard. Directly side on after about 20m start seems to give a decent view.

I am going to train with a sprinters group for the 1st time ever next Monday - very excited!
