Runner's World..

Bought my first copy of running magazine, Runner's World.. What caught my attention was the articles on the right running techniques (form) and the balanced nutrition for a runner.. Great magazine ! WHat I have learned so far..

1) Running techniques - The elements of Good Form:
- Toe Off - keep upper torso straight (head don't lean fwd), arms bent 90deg
- Mid-flight - keep arm 90deg angle, don't hold arms too high up, running means getting both feet off the ground.
- Touch-down - Landing knee to be slightly bent (not straight), lower leg slightly 90deg to the ground, ground contact occurs neat the center of the body mass (leg not too wide in front).
- Frontal View - arms shud not cross the center line of the body (don't swing side by side).
