I am totally reading because I am curious about running form. I might get into some coaching sometime... I am sure there is more to it than just a hop between every step!

First off, thanks for reading.
I know when I finally post that I was able to run a mile... straight... with no pain... everyone will CHEER for me.
As far as the form goes... if you have read anything about Evolution Running... then you pretty much have the idea. Mid-foot strike with a fast cadence. Less stretching of the stride in front of you. It does require more of a "knees up" motion... which can be hard to do. And... never do a heel plant with a roll to your toes.
I hope that someday soon, I am able to run like the wind... or... a 10 minute mile... whichever comes first."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"

How did you find a coach?, and is it very expensive?

I found him in a local sports magazine. His advertisement said that he could help fix pain associated with running. And, I was having A LOT of pain everytime I ran.

Well, honestly, I am getting a deal. He is just starting his business, so I know he cut me a HUGE deal to keep me on as a client. I should be paying $90 a session, but I'm not. If he weren't giving me a discount, I would consider it expensive."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
