[quote=Anonymous]I have a few thoughts on this ... been running for about 35 years. Are you sure you need fixing? Most people's natural running stride is the best one for them, UNLESS you're doing something so wrong that you're opening the door to injury. Now is a great time of year to catch a local high school cross country meet. Watch some of the runners and observe general good habits -- straight posture or a very slight forward lean; drive from the hips; no pounding; arms should be in an L shape, but not rigid, moving back and forth, not across your body; no flinging your legs out to the sides. On hills, use a light popcorn stride to go up, and maintain control going down. You could also go to your local running store and ask for some informal advice. Most running store workers LOVE to run and to talk about running, and they might offer a little feedback. Good luck! [/quote]
