It's easy to think that if you put your foot down far in front of you when you run, that you are overstriding, that you have a longer stride length than if you put your feet more below your centre of mass. This is a misunderstanding that I've heard from many people, but it can make it difficult for you to develop a more efficient running technique. But this is not the case. Where you place your foot in relation to your body has nothing at all to do with your stride length.

"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much."
Paul, UK

"I knew nothing about running other than put one foot forward in front of the other...and fast. Then I signed up for his course. Mind blowing!... and too cheap if you ask me. Totally recommend it."
