Hi,

Has anyone here had any experience with the "Pose" technique of running?
(http://www.posetech.com/pose_method/)

If you have, is it really more efficient and much faster than other techniques of running? What are
your thoughts/findings?

thanks

Bob

Since "pose" generally means to stop moving, I don't think a pose running method is going to win you
a lot of races.

No personal experience although others have claimed that it's helped them. If your regular running
technique has resulted in a string of injuries, I would imagine that it's certainly worth a shot.

One thing that puts me off and stops me reaching for my credit card is the appalling physics and
general flim-flammery used to justify the technique on the web site.

Try it out and let us know how you get on. ;-)

How are pseudoscientists supposed to make a living when people have attitudes like yours? :-)

Are the joggers I always see jogging in place waiting for traffic lights to change, using this
Pose method? It appears that they're posing as real people. Not convincingly, but at least
they're trying.

As long as they only want my pseudomoney, I'm happy to support them. ;-)

I have noted before that a study on which I was a lab technician and data
collector (not an author) showed that 6 weeks of the POSE training did not
improve running performance or economy in the group of runners taught the
method (by Romanov himself). The primary author chose not to submit it
since the results did not support his idea (lost some respect for the guy
with that choice).
