Did anyone see Tomorrows World last night – it was all about advances in sports science – all verry interesting including a section with Tim Don (Top Triathlete kind of guy) on the ‘pose’ method of running – which is supposed to be more economical and allows you to go longer at a set rate?
Do any of you out there have thoughts on this?

Cheers, V-rap.
That may not be right, and anyway it's bloody hard to describe it if you didn't see it!
I think there is more info on it on the BBC website, under science. I'm away to have a look.
After watching TW last night I think I’ll go back and read it.
See I new I kept the mags for a reason

I'll pop into the BBC site later and have a look.
Efficient running styles are high on my agenda at the moment because I'm trying to teach Kevin the Teenager to do a walk/run programme (she's doing a 2-mile fun run in 4 weeks). You'd think a fairly active, if slightly chunky, 11-year-old girl would know instinctively how to run, but she needs to be reminded not to bob up and down and flap her arms as if she was trying to get airborne.
Cheers, V-rap.
Seriously though, it's something you'd spend time practicing, perhaps on a track, where you could take the printed version with you.
Tried the 'pose' method when I went out on Friday and it did seem easier (though I probably looked like I was perpetually falling forward), but found it difficult for more than 5-10 strides at at time.
Practice,practice,practice.
