Running

For the last few years, I’ve hovered around 8:00/mi, but struggled with injuries.

Made the decision to ignore time and try to correct my form.

Im using the Garmin cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time metrics as north stars.

Also shifting to landing mid foot.

Winning for me is injury-free running.

how are you going about correcting form? are you doing drills and hill sprints?

those are the only things i’ve heard of to help, but obv aren’t appropriate for the 80% of easy volume

enjoy cats, running, bread, and a bit of w̶e̶b̶3̶ onchain data

yeah, makes sense. don’t have any additional ideas, was hoping you had the secret to have me gliding like kipchoge 😂

There's probably more methods to improve the form, this just seemed like a few things that were easy to focus on.  Open to any suggestions out there honestly

Just focusing on leaning forward a bit (to get the midfoot landing), reducing stride length, and increasing cadence all while slowing down.  If I'm not hitting these, I need to go slower.

Garmin has nice charts that show you datapoints and bands for all of the metrics I mentioned in the original cast.
