I learned the POSE Method in 7th grade from my track coach – now I am in my 80’s and keep running.

It still keeps my ability to run comfortable with agility. And, enhanced POSE by includeing my Familyhood POSE Running (MBBf) Mind/Brain/Body framework of learn to-learn methods to keep my brain and body coordination at their optimum levels.

In this video, Competitive Triathlete David Fernandez has been struggling with knee pain and it’s kept him from training & competing in Triathlons. Dr. Romanov gives him a brief introduction to the Pose Method Concept and preview’s how it can help eliminate this injury and allow him to return to running.

Essential Aspects of the POSE Running Method

The POSE running method, developed by Dr. Nicholas Romanov, emphasizes a technique that enhances running efficiency and reduces the risk of injury. Here are 5 essential aspects:

1. The Running Pose (S-Stance)

The foundation of POSE running is the Running Pose, where, specifically, the body forms a stable S-like shape. In this stance, the shoulders, hips, and ankles align vertically with the support leg. Moreover, the weight is placed on the ball of the foot. Consequently, this alignment is crucial for maintaining balance and maximizing energy efficiency during running.

2. Utilizing Gravity (Falling)

POSE running encourages runners to use gravity to propel themselves forward. Initially, by leaning slightly forward from the ankles, runners can create a “falling” motion. As a result, this allows gravity to assist in forward movement, reducing the effort needed to run and, furthermore, helping to maintain momentum. 

3. Pull Technique

Once in motion, runners should focus on the pull technique. Specifically, instead of pushing off with their feet, they should pull their lead heel toward their glutes as they transition between strides. Consequently, this action promotes a quicker change of support. Moreover, it helps maintain a fluid running motion without excessive ground contact time

4. Forefoot Landing

The POSE method emphasizes landing on the forefoot rather than the heel. It utilizes the natural elasticity of muscles and tendons to absorb shock and propel the body forward. A more efficient method which reduces impact injuries and improves overall performance.

5. Continuous Motion

A key principle of POSE running is maintaining continuous motion throughout the running cycle. Runners are encouraged to keep their knees slightly bent upon landing and to avoid overstriding. This approach not only enhances speed but also minimizes braking forces that can lead to injuries34.By incorporating these principles into training, runners can improve their technique, enhance performance, and reduce injury risks associated with improper running mechanics.
