Pose Method

The Pose Method is a technique for running that focuses on optimizing a runner's technique to improve performance and reduce injury risk. Developed by Dr. Nikolai Akiko, it emphasizes the importance of body posture, falling forward, and pulling the legs up rather than pushing off the ground. The approach encourages runners to be more efficient by using gravity and minimizing energy expenditure. Key components include maintaining a straight alignment, using elastic energy, and proper foot placement. By practicing these principles, runners can enhance their overall efficiency and experience more enjoyment in their running efforts.
