We are happy to launch How do I run, a three-week campaign designated to make you a stronger runner!

Josiah Middaugh is the right man to talk to about becoming a stronger runner. Josiah is the 2015 XTERRA World Champion and also a professional coach. He certainly knows what it takes to make you run faster – or more efficient.
“Running economy is the holy grail for distance runners, not a high VO2 max,” Josiah says.

Get feedback on your running
To put Josiah’s advice in action we are offering you a unique opportunity to get personal feedback from a professional running coach.
To participate get your friend to film a video clip of you running. For best results – and footage that can be analyzed – a side view is preferable. Choose a flat, straight stretch of trail or road and run at a relaxed pace.
Upload the video on Instagram and tag it with #howdoirun between May 24 and June 11. Professional running coaches Jason Koop and Adam St. Pierre from CTS will analyze the most interesting videos daily.
Three of the most inspiring videos will win Suunto Spartan Sport Wrist HR watches. You can find the detailed contest terms and conditions here.
