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.

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.

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…

Overstriding seems simple, yet confusion surrounds the term. The reason is clear: without a standard, it’s impossible to define or identify what “too much” really is. If someone tells you that you’re “overdoing” something – because that’s essentially what overstriding means – you might ask: How do you know I’m overdoing it? Maybe I’m just doing it differently. Who decides what’s too much? Without a standard, the conversation becomes endless speculation, shaped by opinions rather than grounded in principles. This is where natural laws and biomechanics provide clarity. Running follows the same physical laws that govern all movement. The Pose…

Calf soreness is a rather common occurrence but not a standard one by any means. Some get it and others don’t.

Without disputing the efficiency of any approach to solving the Achilles tendinitis problem, I want to make it clear that it’ll never be really solved unless we address the main cause of the problem.

Does the above question make any sense to anyone who is involved in running? Isn’t running a natural, simple and accessible for most people exercise for health, pleasure and competition? Is there anything wrong with this picture? By the latest statistical data, there are about 33.6 million people only in the US, including people running in some exercise program, which makes running the most popular and also the most dangerous kind of sport, because by the same statistical analysis, 2 out of 3 runners are injured every year. This statistic was first shown in the 70’s, when the running boom…
