Sebastian Coe Video Clip & Run Form

O.k. here's part one of the follow-up to the last post.

Seb Coe has classicly good form, watch his arm carriage relative to his torso and his turnover. Also note his torso lift relative to his hips.

Granted, one way to get this form is do what Coe did, train hard at the track for many years. In fact up until about three years ago, I went to the track twice a week like clockwork, regardless of whether I was racing or not.

You do have to think about form unless you have been running frequently for at least a few years.

My advice is to visualize Coe.

Good arm carriage, light and strong movements, always moving forward with purpose.
