Running Is a Skill—Most People Never Learn It
You learned to walk. You never really learned to run.
So now, like most people, you:
Heel strike heavily
Fold at the waist
Overstride and slam the ground
And the result? Niggles, injuries, slow progress, and frustration.
But when you learn to run properly, everything changes.
What Does “Running Properly” Even Mean?
It means running:
Upright and relaxed, not hunched and tight
With a midfoot landing under your centre of mass, not out in front
Using your hips and glutes, not overloading your calves and shins
With a natural cadence, rhythm, and bounce
Proper running form is smooth, springy, and efficient.
How NBR Teaches You to Run Properly
At Natural Born Running, we break it down into clear steps:
✅ Step 1: Movement Screening
We assess how you walk, stand, balance, and load. Running dysfunction always starts somewhere else.
✅ Step 2: Form Coaching
We film your running from all angles, slow it down, and show you exactly what’s going wrong—and how to fix it.
✅ Step 3: Strength & Skill Work
You’ll learn simple drills and strength patterns that hardwire proper technique into your stride.
✅ Step 4: Footwear & Terrain Advice
We help you understand how shoes and surfaces influence your gait, and how to transition safely.
Real People. Real Results.

Why You’re Probably Running Wrong
Modern life teaches us bad habits:
Too much sitting = weak glutes and tight hips
Cushioned shoes = lazy feet and heavy strides
No feedback = no improvement
Learning to run properly means reawakening the patterns your body was designed for.
