How to Focus on Your Form and Become More Efficient

And while a few factors play crucial roles in helping you become more consistent-like landing on the right training routine and learning what gear works best for you-the most important thing is developing proper running form. If you were a baseball player, you'd put in the time to work on your stance and swing, so why wouldn't you make the effort to focus on your running form?

Now, everyone's form is slightly unique. You might watch elite runners and pick up on some quirky tendencies, or maybe you've noticed your running buddy has a slightly different style that doesn't feel natural to you. But if you follow a couple of core tenets while practicing form, you'll improve your performance and efficiency, plus reduce your risk of injury. I always try to keep these tips in mind when I'm running, especially when I'm tired at the end of a long run or race.

CAN YOUR GARMIN WATCH REPLACE A COACH?

Artificial Intelligence continues to rapidly creep into seemingly every facet of our daily lives. While no amount of computer learning will ever be able to do the actual running for you, there are aspects, like coaching, where AI could have a meaningful impact. In every debate about Al, the conversation almost always includes this question: Is it better than what humans can accomplish? In the case of running, would Coach AI be better than, say, Ed Eyestone, a two-time Olympian and coach of Conner Mantz and Clayton Young, the top two men at the U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials in February?

THE ACCIDENTAL JOY OF RUNNING WITHOUT HEADPHONES

I'M FUMING. I rummage through my work tote, turn my workout bag inside out, lift every notebook on my desk, go through the pockets of every piece of clothing in my zone of vision, then my tote again... It's 5 p.m. I'm standing in the middle of the office dressed for a run, but my AirPods are nowhere to be found-and I can't possibly leave without them!
