RE: April 2011
Sweder, what stands out from this is your emphasis on screaming quads. This is a subject close to my heart at the moment as I try and get back into my running stride. I'm no expert on anatomy and am trying to peice the whole thing together. But I have seen a physio for the first time.

Firstly I've been told that I run mainly with my right leg. My left leg seems only to be used to stop me from falling over.

But secondly, I've been told I'm far too dependent upon my quads and calves. The other main running muscles, hamstrings and glutes, are under-used. Particularly glutes as these are the biggest.

Re-engaging them is a tricky business. But seems like a 'big topic' in running circles at the moment. Indeed cadence and glute engagement could be the real issues to tackle as a runner, with footstrike abit of a red-herring.
