Based on my personal experience, I think that answer is yes! The Pose Running Method can cut your recovery time in half compared the the conventional heal strike, and push off. Over the weekend I ran a 25 mile trail run on Saturday, and a 10 mile road run on Sunday, and did a Chest and Bicep workout in the gym. My body felt a little beat up for my Sunday run, but I think it was mostly due to my personal stupidity of not having a good water plan for the 25 mile run. Today (Monday) I feel great, and am planning on doing an all out assault on my legs tomorrow in the gym (heavy squats and stiff leg deadlifts), and then a 10 mile run on Wednesday. The Pose running was hard to get right, and is still a work in progress, but is well worth the work. When I say hard, I mean that it was hard to unlearn what I’d been doing. It actually is a really easy movement and concept to pick up. When done correctly you feel like your effortlessly gliding along (even over the roughest surfaces). I would recommend Pose running to any runner that wants to increase their pace, and decrease their pain (or total exertion). The book was an easy read, and the principles make so much sense that you wonder why everyone isn’t doing this. All you have to do is pick up your feet and lean forward…
