"The Pose Method of running has not only eliminated my injuries, it
has been an integral part of continued improvement in my chosen
sport. In fact at 52 years of age I am still improving. A bonus of
the Pose Method for me has been significant health and strength
improvement. My journey has been patient and progressive and had I
continued to run as I did previously I believe I would now be
limited to playing board games. My advice is to be patient and
persevere; it truly is worth it."
--Terry Roberts, 35 time Ironman finisher and Ironman
Australia legend
I have used these principles to develop running skill in US Army
Soldiers since 2008 and have seen decreases of up to four minutes
on a two-mile run within just two weeks."
--Dr. Charles Blake, US Army Lieutenant Colonel and Director
of US Army Physical Fitness School "About one year ago, I could not
run 50 yards without extreme IT Band Syndrome pain. I spent 30
minutes with Dr. Romanov and could run as far and as much as I
wanted pain free. Today, I am the USA Paratriathlon National
Champion."
--David Kyle, Associate Director of Health and Physical
Education, University of Alabama "The material and insights
detailed in The Running Revolution are scientifically,
physically, and emotionally profound. The Pose Method has the
potential to be used as a standard by which running performances
can be evaluated, coached, and enhanced. If you are a runner
looking for a resource to reduce injury risk, improve performance,
and build your training program, look no further. In 25
years of working with running athletes, I have yet to find a more
meaningful resource."
--Tom Whipple, Physical Therapist, Penn State Sports
Medicine and author of The Endurance Paradox "Romanov's
teachings have dramatically changed and fundamentally shaped the
way we think about, understand, and teach not only running, but all
movement. I can say unequivocally, that no other information I have
acquired in my career has influenced my teaching process more. The
Pose Method is the only teaching method we use for our runners at
LA PALESTRA."
--Pat Manocchia, former "Good Morning America" fitness
expert and founder of LA PALESTRA Center for Preventative Medicine
"To tens of thousands of runners, including me, Nicholas Romanov
walks (and runs) on water. Approaching running as a skill to be
learned, his groundbreaking, much-copied Pose Method established a
new paradigm, promoting a soft, natural landing that minimizes
impact, maximizes speed, eliminates injuries, and saves running
careers. No one thought about form until Romanov came along; now we
know that it is crucial. I've interviewed dozens of runners who
simply would not be running without it."
--Roy M. Wallack, author of Barefoot Running Step by
Step and Run for Life "The Pose Method of running has
been a crucial component of my Physical Therapy practice. Not only
does this method offer a clear standard for teaching and modifying
running form, it also allows runners to run more efficiently. I
instruct my patients in the Pose Method before allowing them to run
again. Since adopting this practice I have seen patients who were
unable to run for years, not only start running again, but do so
pain free. Other patients have shaved one to two minutes, on
average, off of their two-mile Army Physical Fitness Test run
times. Since learning the Pose Method, I have personally dropped my
half marathon time by 10 minutes."
--Lieutenant Colonel Angela Diebal, US Army Physical
Therapist There's no doubt about it, the Pose Method made me a more
efficient runner. And the beauty of the system is that no matter
who you are, if you stick to the principles and apply them in each
training session, you can't help but improve.
--Andrew Walters, Elite Australian Marathoner, Pose Method
coach and founder of Setai-Do Australia "I discovered Dr. Romanov's
Pose Method about four years ago, and it has changed the way I
understand running. Since then both my athletes and I have gained
the ability to run great distances with less stress on the body,
faster recovery and reduced running-related injuries. This book
will help transform you into a smoother, more confident
athlete."
--Gil Cramer, Running Technique Specialist and elite Ultra
Marathoner "Movement skill is foundational for the performance
community. Dr. Romanov brings the same approach to running.
Romanov's Running Revolution is the common standard upon
which running skill can be built."
--Colonel David Feltwell, US Army Physical Therapist "Dr.
Romanov has spent the majority of his life thinking about running
problems and in close to one day the solutions came to him: Pose
Method. I am overwhelmed by gratitude when I ponder how much time
Dr. Romanov has invested into solving many of the running problems
we have not understood in the past."
--Debbie Savage, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Australian
Sports Commission and former elite sprinter "Romanov's years of
research and practice, coupled with Brungardt's instructional
writing, should be inspiring and informative for casual joggers and
marathon runners alike." --Publishers Weekly
