[Fitness] POSE Question for Runners

[digitaldiscipline]

I tried POSE-style running at lunch today... is it supposed to feel like you're running on tip-toe, with your calves tight, the whole time?

Perhaps doing this on the lawn in my Vibrams to get a better sense of the "natural" way to do this, instead of in conventional sneakers.

I found my pace to be OK, but my calves got tired before anything else (which is unusual; normally it's my wind, since I'm out of practice).

i don't know what POSE is, but when i was a runner, i ran on the balls of my feet & toes. it makes me go fast and feel springy and i like that. makes sense that your calves would get tired.

sprinting is better (for me) up on my toes. longer runs get more foot.

but now i have to find out what POSE is. i don't run anymore and have't for a long time, except when manic, so ignore this.
