May the 4th be with you

There may be something in this for you CC.

Certainly track runners do alot of drills aimed at improving technique. But I do regard consciously changing your running style as abit of a red herring.

I think of style as a function of what type of running you're doing. 200 intervals on a track you'll be up on your toes with a pronounced arm swing. Running up a lakeland peak you will be on your toes putting alot of strain on calf and plantar etc. A long, slow run will see a more economical and flatter style.

You can be mindful of this, but you do this naturally if your running is more varied (in terms of distance, speed and terrain).

In short: Varied training + flexibility + core strength + drills = better running technique without intervention.
