Frequently asked questions
What are the most common running form mistakes?
Overstriding (landing with the foot far ahead of the body) is the most common and impactful fault - it increases braking force and injury risk. Others include excessive forward lean, collapsed ankles (overpronation), and poor arm drive.
Can improving running form make me faster?
Yes. Better form improves running economy (how efficiently you convert energy to forward motion). Studies show that trained recreational runners can improve economy by 2–5% through targeted technique work - equivalent to weeks of fitness training.
