There are a lot of different ways to improve as a runner — with by far the best and most obvious one being to do more running — but it’s true to say that your running form has an impact as well. While there is no perfect way to run, there are things you can do to make your form a little more efficient and potentially reduce the risk of injury.
Your running form can also influence your taste in running shoes, which is why running stores have long offered gait analysis, which looks at the way you run to make basic recommendations on what shoes might work for you, mainly with a focus on stability.
