Tweak your form to be more efficient and less injury-prone.
One More Running Form Tip
Focus on propelling your body forward, rather than up. This reduces vertical oscillation (a.k.a. bounce), and minimizes impact stress on your lower body, says Diano. It also helps you be more efficient since you won't waste energy with that upward motion, making your run more fluid—and faster! Drive your elbows back as if you were using them to push yourself forward, and try really engaging your glutes as you extend your legs to push off and propel forward, suggests Diano.
