Pain-free Run

I went for Gino's running clinic this evening. It was useful, because he ran alongside with us and pointed out our mistakes, postures and so forth. The idea was similar to Chi Running, falling from one's ankles, and to have that 'falling' feeling throughout the run. Landing was on the whole foot/sole, rather than heels or too much forefoot/ tiptoeing - which kills our calves. We wanted to let the big muscle groups absorb the impact of the every landing step, and not our joints. Think of the cartoon, LoadRunner, whose legs spin very fast, behind one's body. Not overly high knees, which kills our quads.

Ok, a laundry list of things to remember.... :)
