Good running form isn’t just for elites—it’s the foundation that keeps every runner healthy, efficient, and fast. In this kickoff episode of our Getting Back to the Basics series, we break down the key elements of proper running technique and give you practical tools to improve today.

You’ll learn:

• The pillars of good running posture, cadence, and foot strike
• Drills to add to your warm-up for smoother mechanics
• Strength exercises that support better form and reduce injury risk
• Speed workouts that reinforce technique under fatigue
• Mobility routines to keep your body moving freely

We also share research-backed data from Harvard, MSSE, and more on how form directly impacts injury risk and performance.

👉 Whether you’re brand new to running or chasing a PR, mastering the basics of form will change how you run—and how you feel doing
