“Run with others who have a good style”
This comes from the simple observation that people who train together all the time often have a similar running style. I don’t think it’s because birds of a feather flock together. Rather I believe that we tend to copy others’ styles. Some do this more than others; there is one particular runner I can think of whose habit was to run just behind other runners in training and copy their cadence and rhythm and arm action and style. I think in general this is a good thing, particularly for novice runners. In time you develop your own style, but it seems to me that a creative person would take the time initially to try out a whole lot of new things before deciding what to take on board more permanently. Copying various styles on the run to see if they work for you is easier than reading this stuff and trying to implement it from words alone.
Just another advantage of joining a successful running group like Team Moore!
Form Principle #9 - Run with others who have a good style.
