"Running faster is a good way to run faster.

Run Unconscious

"Running faster is a good way to run faster.

Within the past few years, exercise scientists have become increasingly able to study the running stride from the inside, as it were, and the emerging result is a radically new conception of what skillful running truly is. Among these scientists is Eastern Michigan University’s Stephen McGregor, coauthor (with me) of The Runner’s Edge , who studies the running stride using accelerometers, the same types of devices used in some speed and distance devices, but his are much fancier. McGregor’s studies indicate that there is no such thing as good running form. Rather, skillful running is the result of an unconscious, evolutionary process wherein each runner’s unique body finds its own best way to run economically, resulting in a form that is slightly different from that of any other runner.
