Fundamentals: • rounding and arching • knowing how to use the hips synchronously • head over foot • explored posterior & anterior chain • backwards walking • forwards walking with a tyre Massive. Profoundly massive. My entire running and life have shifted profoundly in the past few months working with the Innerunner Community and your work, Lawrence. The layers of self discovery that are embedded in my tissues are surfacing. My programming emotionally is disintegrating paving way to power in being exactly who I am, on the trails, and dancing through life. Bless you ❤️
I have been stuck with hip drop for years (probably at least five). I have had a lot of people throw different things at me. None of it has worked. I shared a video of me running with Lawrence. He pegged instantly the things they had me work on and how it was holding me back. I have jumped from thing to thing to add and make more complex; I'm guilty of being impatient (Feel good just to admit it). Now I work with the rope each morning after doing some reading. All very calming. I'm still stuck at the moment but hopeful that I'll slowly make some progress out of it by trusting in the process. It's hard to repattern after years, but I need it to be more efficient in mountain ultras. Thanks for putting these videos up. I'm confident that one day I will be able to accept into my running.
Intuitively your approach resonates. It’s foreign and difficult to trust due to the volume of staccato preachers. Thank you for sharing what you do. I’ve dabbled with your techniques and struggle to make the transition to natural running. Will endeavor to persevere
Yes, i incorporate backwards walking within my walks. As soon as i have the thought of walking backwards, Body does a massive happy sigh that my voice expresses. When i then go to walk forward again, the trauma patterning and jerks is massive. 👍
I am a swimmer. You are the first person to describe freestyle as a Waltz! It is! I worked on getting that flow rope feel into my run this morning, and I immediately smiled. Keep on keeping on. Thank you, as always.
Great as always mate. For the first time a few weeks ago when I was asked if I'm a runner I said yes, rather than I'm a person who likes running but running doesn't like me. Shape flow and musicality unlocked a lot of joy.
Thanks Lawrence, haven't been watching your channel for a few years so I'm super happy to see you're making videos again and getting more attention, can't think of anyone in running who deserves it more. All the best.
I’m so glad I’ve come across your teachings here. They’ve been extremely helpful. The left side of my body became very tight with hip drop 6 weeks ago where I could not run anymore, cramped calves, glute med and peroneus. I got onto the step ups and band work but it’s the flow rope, walking backwards which has allowed me to finally start having some pain free runs. It’s early days and along road ahead but it’s become fun again. ❤
Love these videos! I have had spondylolisthesis for 40 years and have definitely been guarding my hips and low back causing my run to be very stiff and uncomfortable. The exercises you show have definitely been helping loosen up my run! Thanks for doing these videos!
I've rather a stiff and a bit crooked spine due to a inflammatory rheumatism from years ago. To get the fluidity in can be a challenge. But I'm trying to improve my running and moving by flowroping and walking backwards. Before I run I do the awesomizer as part of a warmup. Thanks for sharing and showing all your insights. It is really fun to try to executed the right moves. It's like dancing.
Thanks. Have loved your videos. Would love an online course or seminar. Struggled with sciatica for months and the neural and deural release and nerve flossing really helped. Started walking backwards and some flow rope and my walking seems easier and more powerful. Now trying to transition to my running. Low back pain is gone! Gained alot of mobility in my pelvis. Thank you!
When i do the knee forward to lift hip while lying exercise - one side works okay but the other side is like a brick wall and doesn't move? No pain or anything. Just doesnt appear to work the same way... Is that related to my one sidedness perhaps?.(which is on the other side to the hip i am trying to raise) Keep up the great work! Amazing times we live in that us average people can access such expert knowledge😊👌
Lawrence, I found your channel via Floris Gierman. On Strava today there was a new upload on 4 drills you recommend. What you are putting out seems very helpful, I’m intrigued. My challenge is to assess how I’m actually moving versus how I think I’m moving. Older runner with some arthritis so I think I could benefit from optimizing my running form. I’ll start with some of the drills and see how it goes. Thank you for what you do. 😀🏃♂️
The 36 muscles I’m realizing are stuck somewhere because I’m fused at my bra line years of being stuck up there are messing with movement in hips. But years of being used to that restriction is going to take a awhile! Thanks every intuitive I’ve been trying to open up but not really getting it on my own can’t wait for the smile!
Thank-you..this right side tightness is an ongoing problem that seems to come and go. I do walk backwards and work on the neural flossing which is all helpful.
Great insight Lawrence, lately I've been struggling with sciatica on my left side which is hindering me from proper running. Specially on speed work. Anything that you would advise to address this problem? Keep it up mate amazing job that you're doing. Blessings 🙌🏼 🙏🏼
Try neural and dural unwinding. Neural and Deural tension release. Part 1 th-cam.com/video/d28804FcSoA/w-d-xo.html Have to learn to decompress and stack spine to run.
Thank you for this! Can you (or anyone who knows for sure) clarify walking with tyre? I.e. sled pull?? I must have missed that part / that video. thanks again.
Hi John the walking the Tyre and how to is not yet public. It differs from sled pull in that you are walking upright and relaxed in a way that encourages relaxed and open hip and pelvis function. E-mail me at Lawrence at innerunner dot com

This is the way

So grateful for all your videos, especially this one on hip drop. Thank you! ❤
You're so welcome!

Walk backwards a lot will help
Yes, i incorporate backwards walking within my walks.
As soon as i have the thought of walking backwards, Body does a massive happy sigh that my voice expresses.
When i then go to walk forward again, the trauma patterning and jerks is massive.
👍
thanks Lawrence brilliant as always.. folks head over the foot, figure 8 and you'll run as never before cheers
Ha ha. Thank you 🙏🏻

Yay
Wow! This totally pulls the walking flow rope activity together. Body is literally buzzing....so exciting....won't be going to sleep anytime soon!

So helpful thank you Lawrence!
Glad it was helpful!
Your teachings are inspirational. Thank you. Love, light and blessings.
Why thank you 🙏🏻
Thank you! Very much helpful for my running and walking. My HR stays stable and low while running that i'd struggled to deal with almost for 2 years.
Well done and best wishes on your running journey. Thanks for the feedback.

Keep up the great work! Amazing times we live in that us average people can access such expert knowledge😊👌
You probably want to keep practicing. Keep alternating sides (do 2 rounds of 8 or so in each side daily and the left side should join in)
@@LawrencevanLingen many thanks. Will keep at it
Very useful, thank you! Can you please do a video showing what you mean by ‘flow rope’ exercise.
Yes will do.

Well with age comes wisdom. Very well put. Shout if you need any help

So. Damn. Good. 🙏🏻

Yeah keep on and keep at it. It should keep opening up

there's a video on the path project channel where Lawrence explains the reasons for tyre walking

@@LawrencevanLingen thank you, I'll be in touch.
Great video! constructive criticism: could you show your whole body, when explaning the movements?
Noted!
