Recommend running postures for beginners

By Skechers SEA Open March 09, 2023

Running is one of the easiest forms of exercise for many people, and good running starts with proper form. Without a running foundation, simply going for a run can lead to injury. Therefore, practicing proper form helps maintain the health of your muscles, knees, and other parts of your body, as well as increasing your running efficiency.

Recommended running postures for beginners

Head straight, eyes looking straight ahead.
Keeping your head straight and in line with your body, with your eyes looking straight ahead and avoiding the ground, is not only a basic running posture, but also a way to prevent danger and accidents. It balances your posture, helps expand your bronchial tubes, and makes breathing easier because it helps you see events happening around you. However, if you run with your head down, it can cause tension in your neck, shoulders, and back, and can cause you to lose focus and potentially run into someone else.

Focus on keeping your back straight and not sagging your shoulders.
While running, avoid straining your shoulders and lifting them high, as this will cause excessive tensing of the shoulder muscles. Avoid hunching your shoulders, keep your back straight, and do not arch your back. You should lean forward, placing a little weight on your body. Your back should not be too tense. You should focus on your back and not fold your waist. This position will help you breathe easily and help you not get tired easily.

Swing your arms comfortably, keeping your fists loose while running.
While running, you should let your hands feel as comfortable as possible. Clenching your fists too tightly can cause tension in your arms and shoulders. You should keep your fists loose and slightly tense to prevent jerking and loss of balance. Arm placement should be at waist level, with the shoulders as the pivot point and elbows pulled back, swinging back and forth in time with the running rhythm.

Lower body
Your body should be straight from your head down to your feet. You should place your weight on your body and lean forward slightly. You should not bend your body, lift your shoulders high, or bend over too much. This is because these muscles help with balance, provide stability when running, and prevent back pain easily.

Place your running feet correctly Suitable for running
Running foot placement is generally divided into 2 types. Both heel-weight and toe-weight characteristics 2 The characteristics are different in that the heel-weight type places weight from the heel to the middle of the sole of the foot and uses the tip of the foot to push the body forward. The toe-weight type places weight on the tip of the foot and uses the heel to push the body forward. Bearing weight while running is a skill that should be mastered before starting to run to help reduce accidents or injuries to the body.

Another basic technique for proper running is to stretch before starting your run. Choose good running shoes and go for a run.
