Leaning To Run Faster
With the domination of Kenyan athletes this century in road racing and track and field there must be something that they all do. At first glance nothing really stands out besides the fact that they just run really fast. After closer examination a glaring difference in the running form can be identified. They lean forward, and let gravity work for them. I wonder if this is from running up all those mountains in Kenya. Or maybe the lean is caused by running back down the mountain. However the Kenyans come about this lean, it really works.
