As a running coach, I see all sorts of technical errors in my runners. Especially from those who have patterned themselves after television or running magazines and THINK they are emulating those models.
In fact, what an athlete thinks they are doing often doesn’t match reality.
In this video, called “Don’t Be That Awkward Runner,” you’ll see some over-exaggerated, humorous examples. But the funny thing is, while exaggerated, I’ve encountered variations of every one of these awkward runners. For example, I’ve seen runners with unstable core, floppy arms, no arms, foot contact ahead of the center of mass, no arm action, heel contact first, over-wide stance, straight arms, over-exaggerated arm lift. All are exhibited in this video.
The video has labels for some of these running styles that may someday become part of the running coach’s lexicon: “the Geezer,” “the Dandy,” “the T-1000,” “the Flightless Bird,” “the Stiffy.”
Enjoy the video and whatever you do, don’t be a “Flightless Bird.”

It’s fascinating how running styles can vary so much, even if they’re exaggerated in the video. I’ve definitely noticed some of these awkward tendencies in runners around me. The labels like “Geezer” and “Flightless Bird” add a humorous touch to understanding these styles. It’s a great reminder to focus on proper form to avoid looking awkward. Do you think these labels will actually catch on among running coaches? German news in Russian (новости Германии)— quirky, bold, and hypnotically captivating. Like a telegram from a parallel Europe. Care to take a peek?

Do you think these labels will actually catch on in the running community? Recently, I came across a program for GPT-generated text (генерация текста) in Russian. The cool part is that it runs locally on your own computer, and the output is actually unique and quite decent. By the way, I hope the content on your site isn’t AI-generated?
