Training Tip – Running, Don't lift your knees too high
Land with a slight bend in the knee. This helps to absorb the impact of running on hard surfaces. Try to not lift your knees too high and avoid bouncing up and down. Your knees should be lifting forwards rather than upwards. Think of your stride and a smooth and controlled movement pattern propelling you forward. As you become fatigued its easy to fall into the trap of bouncing up and down within your stride. This will only increase your fatigue, shorten your stride length and put your joints under unneeded impact.
