Do you have a favourite athlete that you enjoy watching? Let us know who inspires you 🏃♀️

Thanks. Best video I've come across on form analysis. Instead of all the BS on how to achieve the high kick, the "high kick is the byproduct of running faster" tells me exactly what I need to know. So what I really need to focus on are my leg muscles and endurance, instead of trying to focus on some correct form I need to be in when I run. I'll deliberately try to run faster in my next 10 km run to see how that changes my form.
-
Thank you for explaining this difference between elite runners and the rest of us. I was wondering about high kicks and now I understand more about what is happening. You probably prevented me from trying to force a high kick; I will stick to improving my overall form and speed.
-
I learned a few things, and having been with GTN since its inception I can appreciate the fact that you still manage to find new subjects to explore - and this a highly relevant one! High five
-
Timing is crucial - you can achieve high heel only at sufficient high cadence + running speed. It is all about syncro of both limbs. Watch slow-mo of Kipchoge's running..
-
Thank you, Heather. As a new runner I watch other runners for tips including speed and the height of their kick. This helps to know which comes first! I think your form is something to aim for I’ve watched a few of your videos now.
-
Thanks for breaking it down for noobs like us because I was just going to get shorts muddy while trying do heel kicks
-
Well done, Heather. What one gets from an Olympic medalist.
-
Thank you! I've been wondering about the high heel lift for so long
-
I started incorporating a better heel-lift into my running recently because I knew it was better form than "dragging" my leg through the stride. I did notice a bit of a speed and efficiency increase on my runs but I had no idea why. This is an awesome explanation and blew my mind a bit. Also, nice ON running shoes :)
-
This was really helpful. Seems to me the high heel kick is essentially a side effect of efficient running form. I'm so slow it doesn't come into play but I've noticed that as I push my mileage up there are efficiency benefits my body does naturally. This appears to be one for faster runners.
-
Great information as always. Thank you!
-
Thank you Heather and thank you GTN for producing these high quality, information packed videos. I have learned so much from many of them. The higher kick instead of my "shuffle" is my next focus. 👍
-
You explained that so clearly in a really lively and engaging way. Brilliant!
-
Thank you. Another brilliant vid. I've been wondering about this for ages.
-
i love this type of video very useful and informative thanks GTN!!
-
Thank you for this. Im gonna try this on my next run out of curiosity.
-

-
