How you run is an expression of the unique characteristics of your own body and mind.
A common mistake people make is that they assume that what works for themselves work best for other people.
It is not that simple.
What works for you, may not work for other people.
This is true of running technique as well.
However, just because there is variance, does not mean that how you run does not matter.
How you run can influence how your performance and how your body handles running.
Instead, perhaps you should make time to actively engage in intentional practice as you run to find what works for you.
You may find that there are certain things that work for others that also work for you.
You may also find things that don’t work for others, but end up working for you.
And this may change depending on the situation and intention.
This has been the case as I have worked with plenty of runners whether they are injured or competing as a pro.
This is also why I never get bored watching people run too.
