83 Videos Teach Fundamentals of Running: The New York Road Runners, the group that stages the city's famous marathon, has created A Running Start, 83 free instructional videos that teach the fundamentals of running. "We saw a huge gaping hole in youth athletics starting 10 years ago," Road Runners president Mary Wittenberg told the New York Times. "We saw that kids weren't moving enough." The group is giving 10 $1,000 grants to running teams, schools and other non-profits that subscribe to its newsletter.
When I took a closer examination at the way I was wearing down my running shoes and some of the aches I was getting, it led me to altering my posture and gait. It's been better for my feet, knees, back, and I have to drop $90 on new shoes less often. Just because we all ran as kids, that doesn't mean we know the optimal way to do it.
