NYT Shows You How To Run Wrong

Nope - check out the advice to extend the leg behind, and to have "drive" from the hips.

From the perspective I advocate, a leg extended behind is a guarantee of inefficiency, and there is no "drive" - there is only falling.  Either way, you will find little succes in improving your movement via only learning a new concept of running, although that is a good place to start.  What must follow, for success, is a process of learning accurate perception of where your body actually is in space.  My presecription:  Drills, video, coaching.
