    My first 10 minute mile at 240lbs was because of this video. Thank you.

    This is helping me so much! I'm so glad I subscribed. I was trained as a 100m sprinter then switched to long distance in college. I've been holding onto some sprinting habits and this video's helping me correct them and improve my form. I've already noticed a difference. I can't wait to feel comfortable running with a higher cadence.

    I watched this to learn correct running form. Went from running an 11:04 mile to a 9:45 minutes.

    Thank you Jason, saw your video and I improved the cadence following the stride closer and with straight posture in the 44C Kuwait heat. 😅

    Thanks for the video. My normal 6 mile runs I'm at a 165-168 cadence according to my watch. My pace is generally between 8:00 and 8:30 per mile so I will work on cadence a little bit. According to mapmyrun, my cadence should be between 160 and 175 so I thought I was in range.

    Great video. That what I was searching for. Thank you.

    I wore high heels every day for work for years. As a result my calves now get super tight and my Achilles causes me issues. I've found heel striking to be the most comfortable. I've been trying to gradually shift but I need to do it very slow or I end up with the worst calf pain and super sore Achilles. The pointer for where you're landing was super helpful.

    "puppeter wold pull up a puppet" sounds great. Moreover for me not native in english. So I pronounced it out loud few times, and remember this for sure.
