I think this posture issue arises when you take big steps. But you can't run faster if you don't take big steps. How to solve this problem? Nice video btw.
It's really a simple thing with her. Most of fundamental mechanics/movements that are harder to teach she does really well and they will translate. (Arm range of motion, relaxed running) In her mind consciously or unconsciously there is connection between chasing (horizontal forces) and going fast. Hence the ground contact far forward and long backside recovery. Just change how the athlete thinks about being fast or speed and most of it will fix itself. Being fast is about vertical forces. How much force can be applied straight down into the ground. Two cues. Be tall (A relaxed tall, like a proud wild animal that has nothing to fear. Not a forced one) Drive the knee down (in the front) It will change body alignment and center of gravity. And how the foot contacts the ground. Don't mess with anything else until these are being done consistently for many practice sessions. Stuff will keep changing on it's own for awhile.
