Short Running Lesson with Dr. Romanov Part 1: Falling Position

When Pose Method creator Dr. Nicholas Romanov meets Bret Ellis, he notes his muscles.
“Your fitness level is intimidating,” Romanov says, “but, unfortunately, your running, it sucks.”
At the recent CrossFit Tour stop in Big Sky, Mont., the expert works with Ellis, owner and head trainer at CrossFit Rabid in Rainbow City, Ala., to improve his running form.
Ellis explains that all he’s trying to do is just move forward. Romanov advises Ellis to focus less on using his muscles and more on using his body’s own weight and gravity. Just let running happen, Romanov adds.
“Good running (is) characterized by no effort,” he explains. “I shouldn’t see that you are a strong man. I know this. I don’t need more information about this.”

1. Pose; 2. Relax; 3. Breathing; 4. Fall; 5. Pull. It’s very important to stay relaxed (watch great runners like Bolt or Johnson or others elite runners, they are always relaxed).

How can you not use your muscles whilst running?
Pushing forward is essential in running so is building and maintaining muscle strength. The correct sequence should be Pose, Fall, Push
