Your stride length is optimal for your running pace and body proportions.
Your stride length demonstrates excellent efficiency. You're maintaining a natural cadence while covering optimal ground with each step, which reduces energy expenditure and minimizes impact stress.
Your current stride length averages 1.2m per step at your recorded pace, which is within the ideal range for your height and running speed. This indicates strong hip mobility and core stability.
Practice driving your knees up to waist level while maintaining upright posture. This reinforces proper hip flexion and stride mechanics.
Exaggerated running strides focusing on power and distance per step. Helps maintain stride efficiency during fatigue.
Your foot strike shows slight heel contact. Consider transitioning to midfoot landing.
You're currently exhibiting a mild heel strike pattern, landing slightly ahead of your center of gravity. While not severe, this can increase impact forces and potentially contribute to overuse injuries over time.
Your initial contact point is approximately 2-3cm ahead of your ankle at foot strike. This creates a slight braking effect and increases loading on your knee joint. The good news is this is a mild case and very correctable.
Short intervals of barefoot running on grass or track. This naturally encourages midfoot striking as your body protects itself from excessive heel impact.
Run at an easy pace while counting steps for 1 minute. Aim for 85-90 steps (one foot). Use a metronome app if needed.
Short runs (10-15 min) where you consciously focus on landing midfoot. Start conservatively to avoid calf strain.
Excellent upright posture with minimal forward lean. Great core engagement.
Your upper body posture is exceptional. You maintain an upright position with a slight forward lean from the ankles (not the waist), which is optimal for efficient running. Your head position is neutral and your shoulders remain relaxed.
Your torso angle is approximately 3-5 degrees forward from vertical, which is ideal. You're avoiding the common mistakes of leaning too far forward from the hips or running too upright. Your core appears engaged and stable throughout the gait cycle.
Standard planks, side planks, and plank rotations to maintain the core strength that supports your excellent posture.
On hands and knees, extend opposite arm and leg while maintaining a neutral spine. Excellent for running-specific core stability.
Good arm swing pattern with minor opportunity to reduce cross-body movement.
Your arm swing is generally strong, moving in a forward-backward motion that contributes to your momentum. There's a slight tendency for your arms to cross your body's centerline, particularly your left arm, which can create rotational forces that reduce efficiency.
Your arms are bending at approximately 90 degrees, which is optimal. The swing originates from the shoulders with relaxed hands. The minor cross-body movement is likely a result of slight shoulder tension and is easily correctable with focused attention.
Standing in front of a mirror, practice your arm swing motion at running tempo. Watch for any cross-body movement and correct it.
Easy-paced runs where you focus exclusively on one arm's motion for 1-2 minutes, then switch. Helps develop proper motor patterns.
Shoulder circles, arm crosses, and band pull-aparts to reduce tension that causes cross-body arm swing.
Your running form shows strong fundamentals with room for targeted improvements. Focus on implementing one or two changes at a time rather than trying to fix everything at once.
