I found recently that I simply forgot about projecting my hips forwards and had started to slip back. I wondered why the last run or two had felt much more like hard work than they should! Yes Dave.

For example, as the foot passes the leg, if the angle of the thigh from mid-knee to mid-hip has the hip even slightly ahead of the knee, (I was told) this indicates that a fall is occurring. Just had a though/ realization: If you are relying on an upper body lean for gravity and not an ankle lean, then if you accidentally lean back to catch your balance, you'll instantly put the brakes on your run and everything good that's involved. Thanks, Dave Ian,
