Instinctive Running is a natural, low impact, sustainable, efficient- "barefoot inspired"- minimalist style of running.
When I began running, I studied, read and researched the basics of good running form/technique. I found there was no real consensus on what is proper form. What I chose to do, was take in as much information on the various running styles as I could find. Through a process of trial and error I determined what would work best for me. It is still very much a work in progress, and perhaps the pursuit of good running form always is.
In future posts, I will outline key concepts that form my style- Instinctive Running. I have 5 key concepts that define good form/technique. Each of my " 5 Keys for Instinctive Running" will have it's own post. Future posts will include topics such as: Running shoes, training, injury prevention, cross-training.......
Like many people I've read Christopher McDougal's fine book, "Born to Run". The book is a fantastic read and has influenced many runners, myself included. I recommend this to anyone even remotely interested in running, you will not be disappointed. This book has had a profound effect on the running community and has spurred much debate, which is always entertaining.
