Pose Method® of Triathlon Techniques

I used to race bikes in my teens and I regularly ran for several years before giving up due to injury. However I discovered the 'Pose method' and the 'vibram five fingers' shoe range while browsing sports injuries and I was intrigued. Brilliant training guide but a bit of a slog to read. The first 23 chapters describe phyisological and scientific arguments before getting into the actual physical training. But the book is structured like a university science course - you cannot take short cuts to get results. It takes some will power to read but it's well worth it. I might suggest to the authors to a) use more bullet points, b) provide powerpoint slides, c) provide cheat-sheets in pdf format for easy reference, d) scrap the posetech videos online and re-record them in a studio without the wind blowing into the microphone! Other than that this is still a remarkable work of passion and labour. Bravo Professor!

I purchased this book after I bought his original Pose Method for Running book. I'm happy to say that in this newer book, he has done a much better job getting to the point and in my opinion, it has everything a runner needs to know about running technique so there is no need to buy the other book if you buy this one first. Plus this book is about $10 less so much better value.That said, I only gave this book 3 stars because his writing style makes it difficult to read and he spends too much time talking about how he came up with his theories versus getting to the point and telling you how to run better. His techniques are very similar to ChiRunning and in my opinion, the author of ChiRunning does a much better job helping you understand how to run faster and injury free.Take it for what its worth. Dr. Romanov is clearly a thought leader and there is some excelent information in this book. I just think that for the majority of readers, it is hard to cut through the clutter and they'd be better off buying ChiRunning instead.

This is a great book to challenge precepts about running, biking, and swimming. There is a lot of philosophy to read through in the beginning, but the author keeps it interesting with a lot of quotes, etc. Author makes the case for the Pose method, especially for running, to aid in form and keep you injury free. Some of the exercises are a little out there, but they are good for results. Transitioning to pose running is difficult, so pace yourself. You may have to mix it up or make Pose part of your running workout instead of the whole thing. It's hard to transition "cold turkey." However, the book is a good read, with a good pace, and plenty of inspiration. Enjoyable by the serious athelete and the amateur looking for better fitness.

The Pose Method is great. It's a simple concept that can drastically develop your perception to exercise. If you haven't read a book about the Pose Method, this is a good start. But if you have a good idea of how to apply the Pose Method in your training, don't waste your time.The author repeats his theories over and over as it to say that no one else understands human movement as well as he does. In my opinion, even though he might be right, it's a piece of information that won't help you swim-bike-run faster. Train hard, improve your technique, but please don't believe a scientist will be the one to get you to run your best.Good luck,GuS

This book has been immensely helpful to me as I've worked recently to refine my running technique (as I hope to do soon with my cycling and swimming technique, too). In adopting the POSE method, which is explained very accessibly here, I have seen great results in little time. To name one such result, pain in my knees from nagging tendinitis has dissipated and nearly vanished in only a few weeks of practicing the technique diligently. I also feel as though I truly no longer need orthotics, which I've worn for a number of years now, for everyday walking and running.In general, I heartily recommend this book and Dr. Romanov's techniques. Happy triathlon-ing!

Dr. Romanov is the first person I have come across that can articulate the vital role of using gravity to one's advantage in human movement, and he outlines a very easy to understand method for obtaining optimal form and movement along with specific exercises to help you get there. Truly the only complete model of running out there -- his research and insight spawned the entire "barefoot/minimalist running movement" but many people have no understanding of what this is really all about. Read it and you too can become an expert -- great book!

I used to injure myself with my running technique. Years of attempting the Pose has helped me to run injury free. I am now trying to swim and bike without injury as well and feel confident that Dr. Romanov's techniques will help me to do so, once I master them. The book is clearly written and provides the mantras necessary to remind oneself of how to run, bike, and swim in the Pose manner.

Top 6 book every runner should own. It is that simple. I have read over 50 running books, and over 15 just this year.1-Hansons Half Marathon2-Daniels' Running Formula3-Run Fast: How to Beat Your Best Time -- Every Time4-80/205-Run Faster from the 5K to the Marathon: How to Be Your Own Best Coach6-Pose Method

I bought this book just for the running part. I already have two other PoseMethod books, PoseMethod of Running and The Running Revolution. This one is a bit different to each of them and probably my favourite because of the detail included....but you probably need all 3 really! There is a lot of detailed text in this book but no waffle, every word means something and each time you read it, it will mean more to you. It is a book to be read over and over.

Very interesting concept. It seems to work for running - I will have to try for swim and cycle. If you have experiences - please share!

good refresher

He leido ya lo relativo a correr; me faltava lo concerniente a natación. Me parece una idea nueva cuando explica el avance del cuerpo en el agua.
