A Path to a Career of Running
As I am writing this review, I am finishing my third week of the program (starting lesson 8/10 before getting into longer workouts). After reading most reviews I can see why some people love it, and some people hate it. I am very technical and analytical, I always try to find the most efficient way to perform a task, including with exercise. That is why I bought this book, and I can say I am not disappointed. If anything I wish I bought this years ago….Short background (I’ll get to the point fast, I promise!). I grew up swimming, played competitive water polo through college, and took up running 3 years ago. I found myself constantly injuring myself, despite some significant accomplishments for a non-runner (43:16 10K is my best PR). After getting sick of injuring myself I thought about how much time I spent growing up doing swimming drills. We did nothing but drills and stroke work for years, that made me an efficient/injury-free swimmer, and I wanted to take that approach to running. I tried a running coach, but he had the old school mentality of ‘just run,’ not to mention one session was three times more than this book….”The Running Revolution” explains that with the right technique and approach to running, anyone can have a long running career. Not just a few years until your knees give out. That’s what I wanted, and that is what this book will help you do (assuming you have the mind-body awareness to be your own critic). First by re-build your running form from the ground up. It starts off with simple workouts, but is building your foundation. The first workout is all about your foot, and you reinforce these principles before each workout. I had already taken steps to move away from heel-striking, so this seemed obvious, but I maintained a positive attitude towards it. I had made the decision to follow the program all the way through, and wasn’t going to be deterred because I thought a few drills were common sense. As you progress the workouts stack on top of each other and become more complex.What the book tries to do is get you to think and feel every aspect of your run. From your foot strike, to your leaning (falling) angle, to your recovery (pull), etc…. I find some technique drills awkward, but they serve a purpose. I can tell you the first time I did a number of swimming drills felt awkward too. But today, almost 4 weeks in, I can say that everything is starting to fit into place. When I am running correctly, it feels right, like the first time I held good form on a new lift… something just clicks now. I know I am not faster, in fact I am sure I cannot go out and maintain my old pace with the new form i am learning, but that when I get back to running track workouts and racing I will continue to improve without the high rate of injury.I have two tangible improvement’s at this point I would like to share:(1) I have noticed that I really feel the effort my calves and hamstrings put into each workout. As the book describes, previously I was actively striking the ground which put a lot of stress on my shins, quads, and feet (where I had a lot of my injuries over the last few years). But now I feel like I am properly using the correct muscles when I run. It reminds me of the first time I performed weight workouts with slow-controlled reps, I felt sore, and couldn’t do near the weight as I did with improper form, but knew it was a good thing. It has not been easy to make the transition, but it feels right.(2) I have a Garmin Felix 2, which tracks my cadence, ground contact time, and vertical oscillation (how much you are moving up and down during your run). Previously my vertical movement was terrible, something like 12-14 CM. After my last jog, I averaged a 8 CM vertical oscillation, which is not perfect, but the difference from 12 to 8 is significant, and shows that I am running much more efficiently that I was previously.I am sure there are dozens of books that will give you a similar insight into running. Each will have a structured path to efficient running. I can’t say this is the best book on the market, but am happy with my purchase and would recommend it to anyone I know.

Saved my running career after an injury!
Great book for running enthusiasts that want to run their whole life. I have a very small ligament tear in my knee that has prevented me from running due to pain and swelling. I was running 20miles at a time prior to injury without difficulty. I am able to run using the style in this book without pain or need for surgery. Saved my running career. Does take work and concentration to adapt to this style but is well worth it to be able to run for a lifetime.

Great technique drills!
I have lots of questions when it comes to running. This book teaches proper technique which is a good place to start for beginner runners like myself. In this book, you will get a break down of the three phases of running: pose, fall and pull. To learn these phases properly, for effective running, there are drills to teach these. I certainly did not know there were fundamentals to running. This book also shows you sample running guides and shoe theories and selections, which is important in running! I find I can’t run if my feet are hurting. I am finding the pose method to be very beneficial as I am learning proper way to run and trying my hardest to be injury free. I am going to continue using this simple guide to safe and comfortable running. I received this product for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased review.

Strongly recommend for anyone who like to move better
I really like this book. I have read numerous other books on running, but this book is actually a guide that teaches everyone, novice to veteran, how to run injury free based on sound research. I am an aspiring Physical Therapist and studied biomechanics as an undergrad. Biomechanics continues to be a hobby of mine and after reading this book and applying the techniques I feel the author knows what heâs talking about. This book is the culmination of his lifeâs work.Iâm a student and sit more that I would care to and have found that just doing the stretch and strengthening exercises consistently that I am moving and feeling better, and they literally take ten minutes. (A word of caution though: build up to them slowly, as simple as they seem if done incorrectly, forced, or done too vigorously youâll hurt yourself.) The exercises also require no equipment, Iâve been using a cardboard box and my couch to modify as needed, so no excuses, you can do them anywhere. I think the exercises would also help anyone to start moving better, they may be specific to using the Pose method, but I feel they are good for maintaining strength and flexibility.Like the author, I am also an advocate of minimalist footwear and I barefoot whenever possible. From a bioevolutionary perspective it makes sense to me. Our feet, the base of the kinetic chain, have become pampered affecting our ability to move as our ancestors did, like recent ancestors, Romans etc. Orthotics, and cushy, positive healed shoes are only going to exacerbate pain and injury. Again, I think the author knows his stuff, he makes suggestions and doesnât talk in absolutes – personally, this is the only book on running Iâll ever need.

Ho comprato questo libro perché il mio coach ne ha parlato. à molto bello ed interessante e ho trovato dei video su YouTube in cui vengono spiegati gli argomenti e si può approfondire. Credo che tutti dovrebbero leggere questo libro per comprendere la biomeccanica della corsa e migliorare la tecnica. Ho letto molti libri sulla corsa.Imparate il metodo Pose della corsa.

Embora pareça intuitivo, à primeira vista, que correr se deva dar com a pisada no calcanhar, o dr. Nicholas Romanov mostra através de conceitos da fÃsica (simples), experiência e estudos próprios e outros estudos cientÃficos, que a pisada na ponta (bola) dos pés é a mais natural, a mais efetiva e, mais importante, a que provoca menos lesões. Eu deixei de correr há um bom tempo devido à “shin splints” (canelite), mas, praticando os princÃpios seguidos no livro, até o momento (cerca de um mês), ainda não tive sintomas de canelite, o que já teria acontecido com minha “técnica” anterior de corrida. O livro é bem didático, explicativo e contém um roteiro passo-a-passo de como aprender e se aperfeiçoar no Pose Method, que é do que se trata aqui. Não se trata de um livro de treinamento, mas sim de um livro de aprender como correr. Até lê-lo, eu achava que correr era algo natural, que já nascia com a gente. Mas trata-se de técnica. Pode-se aprender a nadar para não se afogar, mas aprender os estilos de natação, mesmo o mais simples, depende de técnica, exercÃcios de correção, etc. Com a corrida, é o mesmo.
Customer Review –
This is similar to the chi method of running, with a few differences. I’m 60 and have run most of my adult life, but find I’m starting to wear down with nagging injuries. This book is easy to follow steps and exercises, has helped me develop a style that I hope will help me run till I turn to dust.Early days yet, so I can’t comment on how it will work for me personally, but I recommend it anyone interested in alternatives.
