How can I improve my running form?

Question

Ever since I was a young kid I always ran with high knees. I don't do it on purpose it's just what feels natural to me. Any tips on how to change this?

Answer 1

Go see a personal trainer. Running with high knees is good as long as you stand up straight and use your hands to pump from eye socket to  hip pocket. Dorsi flex your feet. Keep your arms at 90 degre angle. This is all good form for sprinting and it is how all modern sprinters sprint. look it up if you dont believe me. "What is good running form" is fine

Answer 2

Ok i had the same problem and i experimented one day and found out if you lean forward just a little bit, and stride with this consistency:

reach out, kick out;

it should eliminate the problem, if that doesnt work then experiment on your own and find your own comfortable way of running cuz running like u r doesnt really hurt you if you have a really nice stride......hope this helps

Answer 3

I wouldn't want to change it.  With some work on your turnover you could be a pretty quick runner.  I wish high knees felt natural to me when I was a competitive runner.
