[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Sorry I don't buy this at all. The guy's talking a load of illogical nonsense:

• His flat tyre analogy is actually out of context: by leaning as you run, you increase your exposure to gravity which forces you to work harder;
  
• you do *not* drag yourself forward to meet your foot fall - this is done almost completely through momentum;
  
• falling forwards for motion achieves nothing more than a fight with gravity; you need power off your forward foot as it comes under your body for forward motion. Falling is falling: downwards, not forwards.
  

Just look at Michael Johnson and Usain Bolt - they run upright, chuck their front foot right out there and just happen to be the two fastest runners ever.
