Letting Yourself Fall vs. Running Hard

Elite Runners Make It Look Effortless

[06:30] Elite runners appear relaxed even at fast speeds because they hold good form. This shows running fast does not require overly hard exertion.

Improving Efficiency Leads to Faster Times

[08:08] Once runners learn efficient movement patterns, they can then push for faster paces and longer distances. The tools are there to improve performance.
