Exactly. The entire point of my post was to horribly misconstrue the concepts of basic physics on order parody JHuff's approach to POSE. Surely you understood that:).
My bad. I couldn't ascertain whether you were genuinely ignorant or just playing the fool for dramatical effect.
Perhaps you'd be interested in the Michael Johnson endorsed run FAST system?

Uh... I don't know what a Mach drill is...
Much of the talent in running lies in a person’s awareness of what they are doing and the ability to control the body based on this awareness, IMHO.
Good post. Curious about the basic order you went through in working on your form, was it form first and then speeding up cadence, or cadence first and then form. From my experience I needed to do form first because it was just about impossible to markedly speed up my cadence when over-striding due to long ground contact time.

I knew that my running would be down for a while it was under construction. I tried to do it all at once, cadence and position/form knowing it would probably be best versus doing it piecemeal. I paid careful attention to the cadence from the beginning (and even now since I found I need some work in this area). Being a drummer in collage, I was familiar with keeping time and playing an even pulse. In the beginning, it really felt like I was calling upon my musical background to learn this new style of running.
I started by doing the forward pony drill and the forward lunge drill. The change of support drill (Pose drill)is good for basics (and visualization while running), but didn’t really help to start running. I realized the forward pony drill (Pose drill) was running with very small steps which helped with keeping a high cadence. The forward lunge (Pose drill) was great to get the full range of motion of the leg without killing myself. After some time of taking it easy and interpolating the forward pony into running and doing the forward lunge, I started to get the hang of it. The lean, however, I felt right away. The lean did take some time to control. It was easy to add lean, but was hard to remove lean causing loss of control.
