Until you get your form analyzed, you really have no idea what you are doing.
We all think we run like Kenyans or Ethiopians that just need a little tweaking.
But until you see yourself in video, you really don't know.
That is why I like to start my coaching sessions asking clients to tell me what they think their form looks like. And then shock comes around. I even had the occassional kenyan get really upset when I showed him he was heel striking. The truth is, we all have a very romantic idea of what we look like. And it doesn't always pan out that way.
Make sure you get some video, and have an open mind about it.
It's better outside, the treadmill forces an un-natural gait.
