Thanks to Elisabeth for inviting me to post. I'll not usurp the blog - just try to add some seasoning to the process.
Let's look at form...
One's form is obviously critical to the 'ease' of one's running. Keeping track of the form elements while fatigued however, is challenging.
One tip that I'd like to recommend you experiment with is to have one key focus (or foci is it?) per training run.
On your next run for example, try placing your attention primarily on your 'kick'. That flick with the hamstrings that propels you~~~of course your attention will wander to your speed, an ache or the scenery - but bring it back to your kick.
I do not mean to exaggerate your kick (as if you were sprinting), just to bring your attention to that critical motion and see how it goes.
Leave comments if you like.
The video below is an exercise called 'butt kickers'. It's a good warm up/excitation of the hamstrings and is good in general but works especially well when you're focusing on the work of the hamstrings.
Good Training.
