I’ll be taking a look at aspects of Shalane’s running technique including running posture, head position, stride angle, arm carriage, stride length and contact pattern – her definite heel strike.

This clip is from the 2012 US Olympic Marathon Trials in Houston where she won the Women’s race in 2:25:38.

How does your running compare?
