I have been meaning to write an article on recovery, rehabilitation from injury for a while.

This is because of an ongoing ankle injury, that I have, and I have recorded it before.

On this blog I try not to get too involved in how to type of postings as you can find a lot of information on other sites, but I am linked to spreading, what would be is good training even though it may be somewhat not accepted as the norm.

The Pose Running Method

by Doctor Nicholas Romanov has its critics, but at the same time,It has some really good results.
I personally can testify to its effectiveness. As I have been using the method. Ever since I’ve been able to be training again it has been part of my training schedule, and technique.

Briefly you can get into six bullet points

One :the body angle. Basically, you are required to lean forward to the point where you will fall forward
Two : body form. This is described as keeping an S shape,erect back, not bent at the waist, with knees slightly bent at all times.
Three : a short stride. Your foot should land under your body, not ahead of it. Do not flex your ankle keep it at a 90 to a 100° angle.
Four : impact the front foot lands on the forefoot,the ball of the foot.
Five: rapid turnover, the longer the foot is on the ground. More momentum you lose.
Six : quick heel flick after foot strike pull your heel straight towards your backside.
The Pose methods of controlled fall actually starts with several familiar elements of what is considered good form

Rapid turnover, short strides, and landing frombeneath the bodies centre of mas. After those basics its controversial part, requires a 4 foot landing, which is seen as a natural sprinting technique, and is counterintuitive to most distance runners.

Following the technique theRunner lands with a bent knee, directly under the torso to absorb the shock and minimise muscle strain.

After the forefoot landing, the foot makes light ground contact and is flicked towards the backside.

Rominov said effectively the pose method turns the legs into wheels by using gravity, his maths are based around the rate of an object falling which is 58 m/s and a fastest run a time, which is 12 m/s
therefore legs should not play a major role in propulsion, they are just carriers.

The post method was designed for efficiency avoiding the braking force of a blunt heel strike.

it was found that a bonus benefit of the soft landings and less ballistic shock to the knees and hips was a decreased amount of running injuries

British triathlete, Tim Don uses it and describes it as a very economical and efficient, substantial trials have found that if proper training and allowing the necessary muscle groups to adapt.

You will see a substantial , lessening of running injuries, which is important as the figures are about 60% of runners are injured each year.
