In a very succinct and enjoyable manner, it teaches one to perform to the very best of his ability, using the Pose running technique. In ballet, or martial arts, one requires practice of technique. The same is true of running. Unless you are one of the lucky ones, like Haile Gebrselassie, Steve Prefontaine, or Michael Johnson, who were born with the perfect technique, you have to learn it. Until Dr Romanov's discovery there was no coherent theory on the subject. Running was practiced, but not taught as a skill. The Pose Method proposes to teach running as a skill with its own theory, concepts, and exercises. Like any brilliant idea, the idea behind the Pose Method is simple. Every movement is built on an infinite number of poses, or positions, through which the body goes in space and time. In running, Dr. Romanov focuses on only one pose, which he calls the Running Pose. It is a whole body position, with vertically aligned shoulders, hips and ankles that creates an S-like shape of the body. The runner then changes the pose from one leg to the other allowing gravity to draw him forward. This creates forward movement, with the least energy cost, and the least effort. The end result is faster race times, easier running and no more injuries! Many have been asking for this book and are awaiting it eagerly. USA and British Triathlon teams have been working with Dr. Romanov with great success. Scientific research on the Pose Method effects on runners was conducted at the USA Olympic Training Center (Colorado Springs) in 1997, at Florida Atlantic University (Boca Raton, FL) in 1998-2001, at Sheffield Hallam University (Great Britain) in 2001, at Kubansky State University (Krasnodar, Russia) in 2002, and at Cape Town University (South Africa) in 2002 with Tim Noakes, author of the Lore Of Running, the runner,s bible. The results of the last research are very impressive. The load on knee joints is reduced 30%, the incidence of other injuries is drastically diminished. The method allows the athletes to run easier, faster, longer, and most significantly, injury free. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Pose Tech works, the book could be much shorter and betterI am a 36 years old recreational runner/marathoner. I found out about Pose method by accident browsing the net some time ago. I stumbled upon Mr. Romanov's website, and was quite impressed by the promise of injury free running. After buying/reading the book I have to say, that it is poorly written, full of typos, and the first 100 pages or so are there only to sell the Pose method, which is beyond the point really, as I already bought an expensive paperback. I guess it could be condensed into ... Read More Rating:  - Running is a SKILL!!!Make no mistake, this book is a difficult read, but worth your time and money. Better than anything else out there, it will address your technique issues and give you a solid path to correcting your form errors. You need both this and the video (I know, it's expensive, but do you want to be pain free or not?) Don't give up either.... what looks simple take time and patience (We are talking about changing something youv'e been doing without thought since childhood!) but will pay off in the long run with ... Read More Rating:  - Poorly written, of little use to meI felt this book was poorly written. The author uses the first 130 pages explaining how he came up with his technique and trying to convince you that his technique is the best. Then spends only 10 confusing pages to explain how to actually use the pose technique to run. After that its pages and pages of drills and stretches to condition you to use the pose technique. I didn't find it useful at all. I don't doubt that the pose technique would be an improvement to my running. I just coldn't learn it ... Read More Rating: - Running FreeThis book rescued an entire Summer's training for me. I carried bad running injuries [pulled thigh, torn calf] for months that I couldn't shake off, and had all but abandoned a planned marathon. I couldn't go more than 2 miles. I was recommended the book and read it cover to cover. It is clear to follow, and most important....IT WORKS. Run right and use the right muscles, run injury free! 2 days ago [just 14 days after getting the book] I cruised Philadelphia ... Read More Rating: - Easier on my joints & muscles; simple techniqueI'll never run with my old technique again.
