Postural question for CF.

Charlie’s comments are right on. I learned from him very early on in my development as a sprint coach that you need to impart the concept of vertical action (not pushing or pulling horizontally) when executing stride mechanics.

Running in a “phone booth” (although there aren’t many around now that we are in the cell phone age) is what I tell my athletes. This is why the Marching, Skipping and Running “A” drills must be performed regularly to reinforce the vertical action of stepping down, and not out. I don’t use the “B” drills for this very reason.

Watch the GPP Essentials video again to see what Charlie develops early on in the training season.

Good stuff by both you and Charlie on this topic. Simple, effective and to the point!
