How To Correct Your Running Technique
The simplest way to correct your running technique is to stop doing the things that prevent free movement. The big question is, therefore, 'what am I doing that interferes with free movement?'
For many it comes down to trying too hard to run leading to using the wrong kind of effort. This can differ from each individual, let's have a look at one example below.

Photo (A) shows a runner with a typical heel to toe foot strike. Notice how the leg is straight when the heel makes contact with the floor. This will not only send the shock directly into your back it also causes you to lose speed as you literally brake each time your foot lands.
Photo (A) also shows the head pulled back by tension in the neck and shoulders - we will look at the importance of the neck muscles and movement in the program.
The exercises and techniques in my program brought about the changes you can see in photos (B) and (C). Here is a more relaxed upright style allowing the feet to strike away from the heel. This gives a springier feel to your running so you can get a better kick back from the ground to propel you forward - see photo (C). This significantly reduces the stresses of impact your body experiences with every step you run.
Note: The improvements in the photos above can only be achieved by first addressing your concept of movement and effort before attempting to make changes to your running technique. This runner first learnt 'what not to do' in order to let his reflexes coordinate the movement.
If you try to relax you'll invariably collapse and lose the springiness necessary for an efficient technique. Also the more you try to get right by coordinating the movement, the more you're likely to get it wrong and end up running in an uncoordinated fashion.
