  • 1 Season

The 10K Prep Program from Pose Method, Inc is a comprehensive training program designed to help runners prepare for a 10K race. With a focus on proper running technique and form, the program aims to help runners become faster, more efficient, and less prone to injury.

The program is led by Dr. Romanov, the inventor of the Pose Method of running, a technique which emphasizes a natural running form that minimizes impact forces and maximizes efficiency. Through a series of instructional videos and training plans, Dr. Romanov guides runners through the process of mastering the Pose Method and integrating it into their training.

The program is divided into several phases, each of which focuses on a different aspect of training. In the first phase, runners focus on developing good posture and learning how to land on the balls of their feet with a midfoot strike. They also learn the basics of the Pose Method, including the concepts of falling and pulling.

In the next phase, runners begin to work on building up their endurance and speed. They learn how to maintain good form over longer distances, and how to vary their pace to improve their race times. This phase also includes strength training exercises designed to target the muscles used in running and improve overall fitness.

As the program progresses, runners move on to more advanced techniques, such as running drills and interval training. They also learn how to listen to their bodies and adjust their training as necessary to avoid injury and improve performance.

Throughout the program, runners have access to online coaching and support from the Pose Method team, as well as a community of fellow runners who are also working towards their 10K goals. They can track their progress using the program's built-in metrics and analytics, which provide detailed feedback on their form, speed, and endurance.

The 10K Prep Program from Pose Method, Inc is suitable for runners of all levels, from beginners who are just starting out to experienced racers who are looking to improve their times. It is a comprehensive, science-based program that takes a holistic approach to running, focusing not just on speed and endurance, but also on injury prevention and overall health and wellness.

Overall, the 10K Prep Program from Pose Method, Inc is an excellent choice for anyone looking to improve their running technique, increase their speed and endurance, and prepare for a 10K race. With its comprehensive training plans, detailed instructional videos, and expert coaching and support, it is one of the most effective and innovative programs of its kind on the market today.

Here's your week 2 training schedule to improve your running.
What is Perception?
12. What is Perception?
January 1, 1970
Perception is at the root of our skill development. Going beyond just training our physiology, when we improve our perception of a given movement, we are able to "feel" even the slightest variation in our form and correct it accordingly and on the fly. The drills and exercises in this program are tailored toward enhancing your perception, and by extension, your running form.
How are we able to Move?
11. How are we able to Move?
January 1, 1970
Gravity is a central component of why we are able to run on Earth. Without it, we would be suspended in space. The hierarchy of movement as expressed by Dr. Romanov highlights the importance of Gravity and how it interacts with other key elements in order to achieve the final movement.
Week 2 - Program Foundations
10. Week 2 - Program Foundations
January 1, 1970
The transition program has a foundation of strength development drills and exercises that should be performed before every run. That is what week 2 is all about. Along with developing your strength, you will get an overview of the foundations of running so that you are able to identify what technique elements are occurring as you run.
Drill: Body Weight Perception
9. Drill: Body Weight Perception
June 23, 2016
More often than not, our shoes get in the way of our perception. This drill makes us more aware of where our body weight is centered when we stand and move around. Imagine your body weight as pressure moving around the bottom of your feet as you perform these drills.
Drill: The Running Pose
8. Drill: The Running Pose
January 1, 1970
The Running Pose is a very specific alignment of your body, where there is balance and potential energy to fall-forward. Thrusting your knees up (high knees in track and field), or performing butt kicks does not achieve the same results. Soon you'll be able to feel the difference in your running as these Pose drills will be prescribed with varying complexity throughout the program.
Drill: Springness Position
7. Drill: Springness Position
January 1, 1970
The Springness Position, is a position of readiness. Your joints should be unlocked and your body should be able to move in any direction at a moments notice, this is a foundational point that most of the drills will begin from.

Drills & Exercises Overview
5. Drills & Exercises Overview
January 1, 1970
The most important aspect of our drills and exercises, is to understand that they are not meant to be performed perfectly, rather, they are design specifically as exaggerations of our movement in order to enhance our perception. By taking our body through motor patterns it would not normally go through, we learn the difference between efficient and inefficient movement.

3. What do you know about Running?
January 1, 1970
How do you define running? Most runners describe themselves based on their foot strike (e.g. 'I'm a Heel Striker') and have painful associations with their running. Have you ever thought about what you really know about running? If you've ever looked up the definition of running in the dictionary, you'd find a description of something that doesn't necessarily correlate to teaching you how to run
