| Pose Running . I covered Pose Running briefly in a previous post, and introduced Dr. Nicholas Romanov, the developer of Pose. The videos I linked above are previews of an excellent teaching series provided by the CrossFit Journal on Pose Running (click here to see all the Journal offers on Pose). Drake and I subscribe to the CrossFit Journal and I highly recommend doing the same – content is invaluable if you are looking to develop as an athlete, and new content is provided multiple times on a weekly basis – well worth the investment. . Now I only run in Pose. I was sold as soon as I found that it keeps my plantar fasciitis away. I wish I could get a training session with The Pose Doctor (it would need to be a 9 or 10-part series to give him enough time to begin to improve my form). Pre-pose, I was sleeping with a special sock which kept my foot in constant flexion, and still had to perform trigger point therapy when my mileage crept up too high. I haven’t competed in a long time, so can’t tell you if there’s any improvement in my speed (stay tuned: after Drake buys me these shoes, I will no longer have an excuse not to COMPLETELY DOMINATE). Any of you have experience with Pose you’d like to share? Shoe recommendations? |
Interesting. I have never heard of this method. I will def give this a try. Thanks for the good read.
cool! but definitely don’t start with tomorrow’s WOD – it is something you really have to ease into so as not to get injured (ahem, drake) – my former post explains a little better and gives a couple of links which provide more info (for free)

Any comfortable shoe without a cushioned heel will do. I run often in Chuck Taylors, because that’s what I wear most of the time anyway. Most good shoe companies make a racing flat, but the big stores often don’t sell them, so you may have to order. Innov8 makes lightweight running shoes without a big heel, but athletes with wide feet may find them to be narrow. Vibram five fingers are a good way to go, and especially now that the weather may be warming up, barefoot running is IN.
