Fantastic video! I love the cue of relaxing the calf and focusing on your relationship with the ground and pushing back to move forward versus landing. How would you even further distill that for treadmill running. Just focus on the push back?
@@michaelmavrides5773 thank you! Great question! It’s extremely challenging to teach that skill on a treadmill. Trying to teach someone to push the ground back while the belt is moving back is hard. That’s why I always teach the propulsion component overground. If it’s a spur of the moment thing on a treadmill all cue, patience….then push the belt back while keeping ankles relaxed
@@learn2run101I actually tried it. It does work! Do everything you said as to posture/stacking and your shoulders but the focus should especially be on the horizon and your relationship with the belt, meaning the main focus being pushing the belt back. It helped when I pretended I was in the street and tried to propel forward by pushing the belt back with my tush versus reaching. I think you need to have extra focus on you keeping your tailbone down and pushing with the tush and keeping the stack on a treadmill. Thanks so much again!
