Shuffle Shorter Strides

I've been experimenting with a new running form and technique. Well, not entirely new, just that I have not been consciously taking note of my posture and landing.

The articles below are similar to what Gino taught me - a 'falling' run.

Our knees and joints will thank us for those shorter stride lengths, higher stride rate (ie. cadence).

Shuffle along, shuffle. :)
