That is a sensible change. What to keep, what to work on. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/kids-running-form/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/kids-running-form/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Most kids fix their running form through play, not cues. Quick feet games, short strides and relaxed arms do more than instruction. What to watch. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/treadmill-vs-outdoor-running-form/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/treadmill-vs-outdoor-running-form/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Treadmill and outdoor running form are close but not the same. Stride is often shorter and lean smaller on the belt. Which clip to trust and why. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-you-change-your-running-style/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-you-change-your-running-style/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Yes, you can change your running style, but only one thing at a time and with video feedback. What changes in weeks, what takes months, how to check. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-form-breaks-down-when-tired/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-form-breaks-down-when-tired/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Form falls apart late in a run because tired hips and calves stop holding you up. Cadence drops, the foot reaches, the torso folds. How to see and fix it. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-form-it-band-syndrome/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-form-it-band-syndrome/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT IT band pain is often linked with hip drop and feet crossing the midline, both visible from behind on video. What to look for and what may help. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-running-form-make-you-faster/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-running-form-make-you-faster/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Better running form makes you faster mainly by removing braking. Land under your hips instead of ahead of them and each stride stops fighting you. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/ground-contact-time-running/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/ground-contact-time-running/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Ground contact time is how long each foot stays on the ground per step. What a watch pod measures, why shorter is better and what video shows instead. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-with-shin-splints/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-with-shin-splints/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Running through shin splints often makes them last longer. When to rest, how to come back, and how to spot the reaching stride often linked with them. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-running-form-matter/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-running-form-matter/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Running form matters less than new runners fear and more than injured runners admit. One fault, overstriding, loads the shins and knees on every step. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/vertical-oscillation-running/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/vertical-oscillation-running/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Vertical oscillation is how much your body bounces each stride. What a good number means, why bounce wastes energy and how to see it on video. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-with-knee-pain/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/running-with-knee-pain/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Mild knee pain that fades as you warm up is often okay to run through. Pain that changes your stride or lingers is a stop sign. A simple traffic light. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-long-to-change-running-form/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-long-to-change-running-form/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Cadence and arm swing changes usually settle in a few weeks. Moving where your foot lands takes months of gradual work. Here is what to expect and when. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/hip-drop-running/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/hip-drop-running/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Hip drop is when the pelvis tips down on the swing leg side while the other foot is on the ground. What it looks like from the front and a 6 week fix. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/signs-of-good-running-form/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/signs-of-good-running-form/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Good running form shows a foot landing under a bent knee, a tall body with a small lean from the ankles, arms swinging front to back and a quick cadence. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-running-form-cause-knee-pain/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-running-form-cause-knee-pain/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Running form can be linked with knee pain, most often a straight-leg landing far ahead of the hip. How to see it on video and what may help. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/arms-crossing-body-running/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/arms-crossing-body-running/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT No. Your hands should not cross the centre line of your chest. Crossing means the torso is twisting to cover for the hips. How to spot it and fix it. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-to-tell-if-your-running-form-is-bad/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-to-tell-if-your-running-form-is-bad/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Bad running form shows on a side-view video as a foot landing far ahead of the hips, a fold at the waist or arms crossing the chest. Here is how to check. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-running-form-cause-shin-splints/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-running-form-cause-shin-splints/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Running form is often linked with shin splints, mainly a reaching heel strike and a low cadence. What to look for on video and when to see a clinician. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/free-running-form-analysis/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/free-running-form-analysis/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Get a free running form analysis at a running shoe shop, by filming and pausing your own video, or with a phone app. Here is what each one shows you. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-overstriding-cause-shin-splints/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-overstriding-cause-shin-splints/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Overstriding is often linked with shin splints. A reaching heel strike works the front of the shin on every step. How to see it on video and what to do. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-arm-swing-matter-in-running/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/does-arm-swing-matter-in-running/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Yes.

Cushioning and heel drop soften a heel landing, but no shoe fixes a foot that reaches out in front. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-chatgpt-analyze-running-form/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-chatgpt-analyze-running-form/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Not really. ChatGPT can describe a still frame, but it does not track joints across frames, so it cannot measure landing, lean or cadence from video. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/where-should-your-foot-land-when-running/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/where-should-your-foot-land-when-running/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Your foot should land close under your hip with a bent knee and the shin near vertical, not out in front.

A lean that bends you at the hips is a fault. How to tell the two apart on video. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-ai-do-gait-analysis/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/can-ai-do-gait-analysis/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Yes. AI pose estimation tracks your joints from a phone video and measures foot landing, lean, knee angles, arm swing and cadence. Here are its limits. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/cadence-for-5k/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/cadence-for-5k/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT For a 5K most recreational runners land between 175 and 190 steps per minute, about 5 to 10 above easy pace. Why not to force it and how to check. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/app-to-check-running-form/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/app-to-check-running-form/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT An app can check your running form from a short side-view phone video.

Where the foot lands matters more than which part touches first. How to check on video. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/ideal-running-cadence-by-height/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/ideal-running-cadence-by-height/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Shorter runners sit higher and taller runners lower at the same easy pace, but leg length matters more than height. Rough ranges and how to find yours. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/heel-strike-to-midfoot-strike/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/heel-strike-to-midfoot-strike/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Move from heel to midfoot slowly. Raise cadence first, land under your hips, add short midfoot runs over 8 to 12 weeks. First check if you need to change. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/do-beginners-need-gait-analysis/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/do-beginners-need-gait-analysis/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Beginners do not need a clinical gait analysis. A quick side-view video in the first month catches overstriding early, and that is the check worth doing. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/why-is-my-running-cadence-so-low/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/why-is-my-running-cadence-so-low/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Your cadence is low because your stride is long for your speed. Usually that means reaching and landing heel first ahead of the body. Causes and the fix. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-is-running-gait-analysis/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-is-running-gait-analysis/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Running gait analysis is a frame-by-frame look at how you move through foot strike, midstance and toe-off. What it measures, what it tells you, its limits. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/heel-midfoot-or-forefoot-striker-how-to-tell/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/heel-midfoot-or-forefoot-striker-how-to-tell/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Film yourself from the side and pause on the first frame of ground contact. Heel first is a heel strike, flat is midfoot, ball first is forefoot. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-heel-striking-bad/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-heel-striking-bad/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Heel striking is not bad by itself. The problem is a heel strike far ahead of the hip on a straight leg. How to tell the two apart on video and fix it. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-170-a-good-running-cadence/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-170-a-good-running-cadence/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Yes, 170 steps per minute is a good running cadence for most recreational runners at easy pace. When to leave it alone and the one case to check. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-accurate-are-running-form-apps/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-accurate-are-running-form-apps/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Running form apps are accurate for 2D angles from a well-filmed side view. They cannot measure force or 3D motion, and a bad clip gives bad numbers. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/gait-analysis-at-home/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/gait-analysis-at-home/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Yes.

What moves the number and why scores only compare like with like. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-does-overstriding-look-like/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-does-overstriding-look-like/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Overstriding looks like a straight front leg reaching out ahead of the body, heel first, foot far in front of the hip. What to look for, frame by frame. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-160-cadence-too-slow/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-160-cadence-too-slow/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A cadence of 160 is on the low side for easy running. Fine if you are tall, pain free and land under your hip. Worth raising if your foot reaches. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-much-does-running-gait-analysis-cost/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-much-does-running-gait-analysis-cost/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A running gait analysis typically costs nothing at a shoe shop, 75 to 150 for a physio video session and several hundred for a 3D lab. What each buys you. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-do-i-count-my-running-cadence/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/how-do-i-count-my-running-cadence/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Count your right-foot landings for 30 seconds and multiply by four, or film 10 seconds from the side and count every foot strike times six. Both give steps per minute. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-is-overstriding/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-is-overstriding/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Overstriding is when your foot lands well ahead of your hip with a nearly straight knee, so each step brakes before it pushes. What it looks like and the fix. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-is-a-good-running-cadence/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-is-a-good-running-cadence/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT A good running cadence lets your foot land under your hip at your normal pace. For most runners that is 165 to 180 at easy pace. Why 180 is a myth. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-angle-should-i-film-running-form/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/what-angle-should-i-film-running-form/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Film from the side first, square on, phone at hip height. Side view shows landing, knee bend, lean and arms. Front and behind add hip alignment. https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-gait-analysis-worth-it-for-runners/ https://caden-web.pages.dev/blog/is-gait-analysis-worth-it-for-runners/ Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 GMT Gait analysis is worth it when it shows you something you can act on. What each type gives you, who needs a clinic, and when a phone video is enough.
