Nathan Martin won the 2026 Los Angeles Marathon in a dramatic photo finish, defeating Michael Kamau by just 0.01 seconds. A closer look at cadence and running technique reveals how the race was decided in the final meters.

Many runners try to control how high their foot travels without realizing what actually determines it. This article explains why foot height is a…

One second in one hundred years raises a difficult question. In a century of technological and scientific progress, sprinting has barely improved.

Runners struggle to improve speed because the traditional speed formula is incomplete. Without accounting for this key element, cadence and stride length cannot explain or produce speed.

Push-off feels obvious in running. But sensation is not mechanics. Let’s examine why push-off persists as belief—and what physics and biomechanics actually show.

Andre De Grasse’s plateau exposes a recurring flaw in sprint training: isolated physical qualities rise, yet speed remains unchanged. His case highlights the deeper mechanism most approaches overlook.

Learn how the right fit and lacing prevent black toenails and blisters — so your running shoes support precision, not problems.

Developed by Dr. Nicholas Romanov in 1977, the Free Falling Concept redefines running as a partnership with gravity – transforming effort into ease and movement into skill.

Longevity in running begins with precision. Discover how learning the mechanics of movement can protect your joints, sharpen coordination, and keep you moving well for years to come.

Scientists continue to chase the Holy Grail of Running Biomechanics with profiles and categories, yet remain blind to the true force behind every stride.

At just 17, Gout Gout runs with stride lengths rivaling Usain Bolt. Yet he lacks the power base of elite sprinters. This paradox raises new questions about what really drives performance in sprinting.

Runners often confuse stride length with range of motion. One measures movement; the other enables it. Knowing the difference changes how you run.

While forefoot pain can result from various factors, including injuries, unsuitable footwear, and underlying medical conditions, this article will focus on forefoot pain (pain in the ball of the foot), which is a common musculoskeletal pain associated with running.

Long distance running gives fatigue more time to affect your form. Learn why focus, cadence, short time on support, and the Pull matter when you want to maintain good running technique over longer distances.

The head position is a crucial point in making the muscular system of the whole body engaged in a specific way. It could be more efficient or less efficient and balanced depending on the head position orientation. As a consequence, the movement of the body could be more efficient and better balanced or not. Head The reason for this influence lies in the anatomical and physiological structure of the head. With such organs as vestibular apparatus in the ears and cerebellum, directly defining and regulating the body’s position in space, the head has an exceptional influence on any movement. This regulation is…

“What do I do when I get tired when running?” This question came up and it reflected a very interesting mind-set regarding performance from coaches and athletes. Indeed, what can we do when fatigue emerges when we run? Do we have some options in how to deal with fatigue? Obviously not many options exist, nevertheless many coaches and athletes “hope” that there are some magic tricks to go around. Some choose to gamble by using something yet unknown to science. Is it a question “what do I do?” when a tennis player, swimmer or any other athlete in any other…

Ice is a demanding surface and most people feel and move awkward on it. Even athletes that seem to be adept at the most complicated of moves often find themselves struggling to stay on their feet to say nothing of walking or even running on ice. Ability to run on ice (or any slippery surface) without the help of any ice traction devices has a certain irony to it. It unequivocally extinguishes all debate on running technique and effortlessly removes all thought up forms and variations of technique and leaves Pose Running as the only viable option. Push off? Paw back? Extended…

I often hear long discussions about muscles, fibers, and their functions. And I can’t help but wonder – are people talking about doing something, or are they just talking about anatomy? If your goal is to study anatomy or satisfy a scientific curiosity, then exploring muscles, tissues, and fibers makes perfect sense. But if you are an athlete or a coach, that kind of knowledge, while interesting, will not make you better at your craft. Curiosity is natural, but practical application is what truly matters. Types of ‘Knowing’ In sport and training, there are things we need to know and…

What Is Overstriding in Running Overstriding in running occurs when the foot lands too far in front of the body’s center of mass.This creates braking forces that slow forward movement and disrupt efficient mechanics.In efficient running, the foot lands under the body during support rather than ahead of it. The idea of landing ahead of the body seems simple, yet confusion still surrounds the term. If someone tells you that you’re “overdoing” something – which is essentially what overstriding implies – you might ask: how do you know? Maybe I’m just doing it differently. Who decides what is too much?…

Every runner passes through the Running Pose—but not every runner is Pose Running. This article clarifies the difference and why it matters.
