"Proper running and walking form is essential to reduce the risk of injury. The Jeff Galloway method teaches runners to stay upright, maintain a short stride and eliminate bounce. Let’s get training with Jeff Galloway. "

I'm glad to see him talk about stride, because I often get told "you're so tall, you should be really fast". Well, if you're keeping your stride short, it really doesn't matter. Sherry, who ran with me at my last half marathon, is significantly shorter than me and yet we paced exactly the same and strided exactly the same... except maybe I don't listen to that advice so well when I walk... and that's when my crazy long legs really do push me forward. I guess, though, according to Galloway, I should be keeping my stride short then, as well.

Phew! I feel relieved that those are 3 things I consciously try to do!
Really - how fun is it to watch helpful training videos when they are set in Disney World? Love it!
That's a great video! And it's making me really excited about running Disney in January =)
Thanks for sharing this as I am preparing to run Disney!!!
