Runna head coach Ben breaks down the most common running form mistakes from head to toe, and shows you exactly how to fix them — in just a few minutes. You'll learn: ✅ Body position & posture — why your desk job might be wrecking your form ✅ Foot strike & floor contact — the barefoot drill that fixes 90% of heel strikers ✅ Cadence — how to use a metronome (and why jumping straight to 180spm is a mistake) ✅ Upper body — elbows, shoulders, the centre line, and why your arms are your secret weapon when your legs start to fade ✅ Running faster — what actually changes (and what doesn't) when you pick up the pace Whether you're jogging your first 5K or chasing a marathon PR, these principles apply to every runner at every speed. ⚠️ One important caveat: changing your running form takes time.
