What runners usually work on
Posture and lean
Running tall with a slight lean from the ankles, rather than bending at the waist, helps you move forward efficiently.
Stride and foot strike
Landing close to under your body, rather than reaching out in front of you, is a common technique focus.
Arm swing
Relaxed arms swinging front to back, not across the body, help keep your running balanced and rhythmic.
Sprint start and drive
For sprinters, the angle and power of the first few steps out of the blocks set up the whole race.
How Observe helps

See yourself improve
Re-observe over time to compare your clips and see how your technique is changing.
How to film your running
- Film side-on to see posture, stride and arm swing. Film from behind to check how straight you run.
- Place the phone at hip height, steady, and let yourself run through the frame.
- On a treadmill, film from the side with the whole body in view.
- Aim for 10–15 seconds at your normal pace.
