What many runners get WRONG about LEANING forward

A majority of the runners I meet lean a little too much forward. Or as it really is: they have their hips too far back. But the bottom line is the same, if you draw a line between the hip and shoulder, that line is tilted too much.

An interesting thing is that many people become much more vertical in their posture when they run at a pace that is quite fast for them or when they sprint. Some even start to lean back a little. But they don't realise it. They think they are leaning as much as when they were running at a slower pace. So when they run fast and try to lean more forward, their feeling is that they went from their "normal" lean, which they had before they increased their speed, to leaning even more forward. But really they're just back to the same degree of leaning that they had when they were running slowly because they've mostly stopped being too vertical.
It's like I've said in other videos, you can be absolutely sure you're wrong about how you look and move when you run. Therefore, it is always good to film yourself so you can see how it looks in reality.

"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."

”I have done the first two audio lessons now. It's amazing what a difference you made for me. I ran 90 minutes yesterday and have never felt so refreshed both during and after the workout, and then I have never run so fast with the same low heart rate. Thanks for that!!”
Update from a runner after two of the six audio lessons

I can honestly say it is some of the clearest and best instruction I have ever recieved in any topic. After a year of shin splints I went for a run yesterday and was almost in (joyful) tears because I had zero pain, so thank you!!
