How many routines you find useful (like the hip stretching, etc) wouldn't have any benefits for me because I move differently?

I think they need to be selected with the surface in mind - more cushioning for tarmac, less for cross country.<br /><br />There was a study (think I saved it via Twitter) where they found that runners adjust their stride to suit the impact forces felt... so if they are running barefoot on a hard surface they apply less force to the ground. If they have 'enough' cushioning they can apply more force and hence achieve a longer stride.Ewenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093209634556111656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5433846458554135895.post-45130371819077052392011-06-09T16:47:37.060-07:002011-06-09T16:47:37.060-07:00Good point Grellan.
