How Better Running Technique Can Save Your Entire Season

Running Is the Skill Nobody’s Teaching

In most sports, athletes are coached on everything — passing, tackling, shooting, lifting.

But running? That’s just assumed.

Here’s the problem: if your running mechanics are inefficient or sloppy, it doesn’t just make you slower. It makes you a walking injury risk.

You’re training hard on broken foundations. And eventually, that shows up in pain, poor performance, or both.

Poor Technique = High Cost

Bad mechanics don’t just look bad — they cost you:

• Speed off the mark

• Change of direction sharpness

• Load tolerance (more soreness, less durability)

• Increased injury risk (hamstrings, knees, calves, lower back)

Most injuries in sport come from repeated poor movement — not one freak incident.

Fixing your technique might be the smartest thing you do all year.

What Good Running Technique Actually Looks Like

It’s not about looking pretty. It’s about moving efficiently under pressure. Here’s what we focus on inside Natural Born Running:

✅ Posture – Running tall, not slouched or over-extended
✅ Cadence – Faster turnover to reduce overstriding and impact
✅ Foot strike – Under the body, not reaching out and braking
✅ Arm drive – Syncing rhythm, balance, and upper body power
✅ Hip extension – Driving from the glutes, not collapsing through the spine

When you run better, you feel better. You last longer. And you perform at a whole new level.
