Running Form & Technique Coaching
Good form is the difference between a personal best and an injury. See how we use video analysis and drills to make every stride more efficient.
Every Wednesday is dedicated to perfecting running form. We work on details like midfoot strike, relaxed posture, and smooth strides to boost performance and prevent injuries.
Drills are a core part of our training. Here, we're working on coordination and muscle memory to improve running economy and power.
This is part two of our running drills series. We build on foundational movements to develop more advanced techniques for speed and endurance.
We use a variety of running drills to activate key muscle groups and improve biomechanics. Consistent practice like this is what builds a strong, efficient runner.
Our Thursday sessions often include specific drills to reinforce good habits. Here, the group focuses on cadence and foot placement.
During a speed session, I provided on the spot form correction. Even small adjustments can lead to significant improvements in pace and efficiency.

About this collection
Most runners spend their time just logging miles, but I have learned that changing how you move changes everything. When you fix your posture, like learning to stop overstriding or keeping your core engaged, your legs do not get as tired and your knees do not take the hit. That is why we spend dedicated time on Wednesdays with drills that might feel slow, but keep you running strong for years.
The Science of Efficient Running
Running is a skill, not just an activity. Many runners struggle with fatigue and recurring aches because their biomechanics are fighting against them. My job is to strip away those inefficiencies. When you improve your mechanics, you naturally increase your running economy, meaning you run faster and further with less effort.
Our Process
We start with a gait assessment. Using slow-motion video capture, I break down your stride to identify issues like hip drops, overstriding, or poor arm swing. Once we identify the problem, we use targeted drills, such as A-skips, B-skips, and high knees, to build muscle memory. These movements are not random. They are designed to correct how your foot strikes the ground and how your body absorbs impact.
Form Focus Wednesdays
These sessions are the core of our technique training. You will join the Adidas Runners Bengaluru crew at venues like Agara Lake or the stadium. We do not just run, we practice mechanics. Whether we are doing plyometrics, band activation, or pure drill work, the goal is always the same: building a body that can handle the demands of the road.
Why it Works
Consistent form correction reduces the impact forces that travel up your legs. Whether you are prepping for a race or just trying to run your first 5K without knee pain, these small technical adjustments yield massive results in your endurance. You do not need to be a pro to run like one, you just need to trust the process.
