Forums >General Running>So what would your evaluation of this running technique be?
Biomimeticist
That's the difference between how you and I run.
You walk with an impact force of twice your bodyweight. I don't; I have a ZERO impact force when I walk.
You run with an impact force of four times your bodyweight. I don't; I hit a force plate at 70% of my bodyweight.
You run. I gallop.

If other techniques of locomotion truly didn't exist, then please tell me how tibetan residents are more efficient than you are in walking.

Or better yet, tell me how the women of Kenya carry 20% of their bodyweight with no increase in energy expenditure. Because I can do it, describe it, mimic it, and teach it.

Tell me how pygmies are better runners than you are?

Experts said the world is flat
Experts said that man would never fly
Experts said we'd never go to the moon
Name me one of those "experts"...
History never remembers the name of experts; just the innovators who had the guts to challenge and prove the "experts" wrong

It's the difference between how you and everyone else experiences physics, apparently.
"When a person trains once, nothing happens. When a person forces himself to do a thing a hundred or a thousand times, then he certainly has developed in more ways than physical. Is it raining? That doesn't matter. Am I tired? That doesn't matter, either. Then willpower will be no problem." Emil Zatopek
I walk or run under a completely different principle of balance, and I can prove it to you in less than five minutes if you want to challenge me on it.
If you understood it, you'd be able to explain how the women of Kenya carry the weight with no increase in energy expenditure.
If you understood it, you'd be able to explain how pygmies run.
And if you understood it, you'd understand why you could cut your energy expenditure per step by 20%.
Why is it sideways?
My guess is that SJ is defining "impact force" as "total force - body weight."
So, 0% impact force would would be (mg +0mg), 70% impact force would be (mg + .7mg), etc.
I'm talking about being weighed on a scale and running across a force plate. The impact force was 415% of my bodyweight running "human" and 70% of my weight at full gallop.

2021 Goals: 50mpw 'cause there's nothing else to do
So, you violated the laws of physics, then?
Over what distance can you sustain an impact force of 70% of your weight?
Have you patented your anti-gravity technology?
The process is the goal.

This is walking with no force measurement

This is how I do it, what walking with no vertical lift in my step looks like.

The balance principle is called RSS-Relaxed Static Stability

Its not technology, its technique. The real joke is that you'd rather argue it, than learn it.

What are those odd things on your feet?
I'm running somewhere tomorrow. It's going to be beautiful. I can't wait.

What are those?
Hey SJ,
You may find some great ideas here to improve runner efficiency. I hope to see at least a few ideas referenced in your next post. You can thank me later:
Grow orange hair
Digest your food for a month
Eat, sleep, and run upside down
Eat large amounts of krill
Grow your heart twice the current size
Store large amounts of blubber.
