Push off with glute max can make you less efficient and cause lower back pain when running

Do you use the glute max when you run? Of course you do. Quite a lot actually. So if you thought when you read the title of this video that I was saying that you do NOT use the gluteus maximus, you are wrong. Because of course you do. But over the years I've noticed that many runners don't understand when and how to use the body's largest muscle which means that they can start running in a way that provides LESS efficiency and can cause various types of pain, especially in the lower back. In this video, you'll learn how to avoid falling into that trap. And don't miss "WORDS OF WISDOM FOR RUNNERS" which comes last in this video! ___________________________________________________ Fredrik Zillén is an running technique specialist that has over the years helped thousands of runners to a more efficient running technique - from the slowest beginners to members of the Swedish national team in running and triathlon who have participated in the World Championships and the Olympics.

Fredrik is an excellent teacher with a unique approach. I highly recommend this course to runners of all levels." Kevin, UK "The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. It’s brilliant and I have been telling all my friends about it. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running. It’s also really helped my cycling my adapting similar techniques and visualisation. Thanks so much." Paul, UK "Just wanted to say Im 2/3 through your running program and WOW what an insane difference". Runner, Texas, USA ”I have done the first two audio lessons now. It's amazing what a difference you made for me. I ran 90 minutes yesterday and have never felt so refreshed both during and after the workout, and then I have never run so fast with the same low heart rate. Thanks for that!!” Update from a runner after two of the six audio lessons I can honestly say it is some of the clearest and best instruction I have ever recieved in any topic. After a year of shin splints I went for a run yesterday and was almost in (joyful) tears because I had zero pain, so thank you!! Andrew ”I got your online course and it almost instantly fixed my running form. I can prove that by having half an hour faster marathon finishing time.” Runner, Indonesia "I knew nothing about running other than put one foot forward in front of the other...and fast. Then I signed up for his course. Mind blowing!... and too cheap if you ask me. Totally recommend it." Runner Read more testimonials here: https://fredrikzillenonline.newzenler...
