Sort order. Feb 26, Ashley Montulli rated it it was amazing Shelves: running , non-fiction. I've been working hard on my running form lately. Trying to change it for more efficiency, lower injury and faster times. The pose method is essentially the method of the modern day runner. Nicholas does a great job of breaking down the technique and gives a step by step workbook for implementation. He talks about shoes, journal keeping and the fact that running truly is a skill. Take out the earbuds and focus on your body. Highly recommend this book, from the creator.

About This Item

For experienced runners an I've been working hard on my running form lately. For experienced runners and beginners, there is something to be gained here by all. Dec 27, Lance Schonberg rated it liked it Shelves: fitness , sports. The Running Revolution is, above all else, a methodology. It's not just a book about running, it's based around a specific version of running and it builds a complete program for you to learn how that works, transition to it, and get better and faster at it.

It's a complete book, but it does rely on a single, overarching premise. That you buy into the idea of the Pose Method of running. The book's primary author, Dr. Nicholas Romanov, is listed as the creator of the method, with decades of coachin The Running Revolution is, above all else, a methodology. Nicholas Romanov, is listed as the creator of the method, with decades of coaching and sports science experience across multiple continents and is the founder of the Romanov Academy, an institute dedicated to the spreading of the Pose Method. Romanov is big on stretching, preparation, and targeted strength training.

In my former running life, these are all things I sucked at. I know better now, but I wish I'd known better then. As a matter of fact, he's so big on preparation and doing things right to avoid injury prevention that we're more than a third of the way through the text before we actually get to the pose method itself. Odd, and yet fitting. Whether I summarize this well or not, as explained in the book, there are nine phases in a running stride, but only three of them are really important, as in invariable and biomechanically optimal, and these are the ones the Pose Method focuses on to improve your running: Pose, Fall, Pull.

The Pose is all about body alignment, the moment of maximum energy potential to propel yourself forward.

There's a strong emphasis on forefoot landing to go with this as the author argues that it provides the smoothest transition with the ground. I think it's important to notice a slight difference in terminology, too: heel strike, midfoot strike, forefoot landing. A not-so-subtle adjustment, because obviously a landing is better than a strike. When you Fall, it's to get an assist from gravity, but not too much. The faster the Fall, the faster the run, but only too a point. In fact, you're supposed to Fall at no more than I've read a couple of comments where this number is thrown out as garbage and where do you get it.

To me, this number actually makes a lot of sense by itself. It's a quarter of the way to 90 degrees, or horizontal. It seems reasonable to me that it's going to be hard to recover if you're falling farther than this. The Pull is the simplest of the three to consider.

Conventionally, you push off the lead foot to drag yourself forward. In the Pose Method, you're pulling the rear foot forward into the next stride. There are a lot of things I like in the book. Romanov is a big advocate of keeping a training journal, something I've done in the past, though he thinks whatever you do for one should take into account much more than just the numbers involved.

I think I'm likely to move in this direction.

He also advocates filming yourself running to study how you can do it better. Actually, this is an assignment at several points during the program and is supposed to be a regular exercise going forward. Probably, you'll need some help with that, and it's recommended.

There are also exercises and training techniques in every lesson and at every level, plus lots of discussion around injury prevention and about body mechanics, and I love that there's a whole lesson on the achilles tendon, about how it's not designed to push your foot off the ground, but to absorb impact. Overall rating: 3. Remember how I said the book relies on you, the reader, buying into the premise of the Pose Method?

I'm not sure that I do, but it's interesting enough and I'm curious enough that I may explore it as I gear up my running again.

I've got a half marathon in a few months and a full marathon following. This book might be one to return to to give the workouts a try but I'll refer to a marathon training book first.
