Any pointers on how to transition to a more hips-forward running form? The past 2 easy runs I've been imagining a flashlight-on-a-beltbuckle and picturing it shining straight forward instead of downward. I do feel that this engages my abdominals and (strangely) my adductor (groin) muscles are sore.
I was told years ago to imagine that you are thrusting a woman from behind. "Hips forward" would be when you are at your deepest.
Why do you need to do this? Why change form for sake of changing form. Is something wrong?

I'm coming off a metatarsal stress reaction and the relatively low volume I'm doing seemed like an opportunity to improve form. Never had my running form evaluated, but just standing posture is slightly swayback.
Arthur Lydiard had ONE mantra on running form...."hips forward". And he used running drills to promote this.
This came somewhat later in Lydiard's coaching life.
His most famous pupil/athlete who really absorbed the "hips forward" philosophy.....Pekka Vasala.
