This
is the first photo we did on the day, the Pre-Clinic
photo. Pam is pretty vertical
in style (red line) and we worked on getting her more
forward
to the green line. She is foot striking, but since she's
running slow here, we're not worried about it.

|

She has a better forward angle
here w/ torso, but her body
isn't quite there yet. Arms are
flat but are in a nice high position (good)... vision is a bit high
(see next few photos). |
|

|

Better
side shot here. We can see that while body angle is
better (lower body is getting it!),
she is over-rotating (look at twist in back heel and
in upper body). Arms are still rigid at 90-degrees (but
get better
in next few shots). Foot strike appears to be right
on...very good. |
|

Much better here! Hands are higher, she is rolling
well over the ball of her foot, etc. Again,
vision is really focused in the distance – we want
to do ~15ft in front. |

Oooooh, so close! :) Great body line (yellow), good hands.
I’d like to tweak that left elbow up a bit
(perpindicular to driving leg (but that’s minor).
Bring sight line down! |
|

Again, pretty darn good here...all minor tweaks
(from red to green). |

First
front shot...we are at the point where she's about to come
through the center, moving that right knee
out in front.
A couple of things here:
- she is a bit off
center here (vertical line goes from center of eyes to
inside of foot – instead
of into big toe area). This photo also makes it look like
she's about to bang knees.
- look at how shoulders and knees are opposites...right
knee is down lower (normal), but right shoulder is higher
(VERY
ODD). This means that she is compressing a bit to the
left side, also means straining that hip area. Need
to work
on this. Also we want to keep those elbows in a bit, hands
out. |
|

Second
front shot...further forward with the foot and we can see
how the knee really drops. Interesting
to see that shoulders are better here – more
level. Foot plant is more center, so perhaps the left is
a bit weaker. |

3. Spending 2 runs a week going easy, just thinking
of form in the hips... will start to cement some changes after
3-4 weeks (6-8 runs).
