How to do it

Stand tall with feet hip-width apart, arms relaxed at your sides, and gaze forward.
Engage your core lightly and maintain an upright posture with a slight lean forward from the ankles.

Push off the ground with one foot, driving the opposite knee slightly forward in a controlled stride.
Land lightly beneath your center of mass with a midfoot strike, allowing the knee and ankle to absorb the impact.
Immediately transition to pushing off into the next stride, alternating legs in a fluid, rhythmic cycle.
Swing your arms naturally in opposition to your legs with elbows bent at approximately ninety degrees.

Breathe rhythmically and naturally through your nose and mouth at a conversational pace.

Overstriding by reaching the foot far in front of the body with a heavy heel strike.: Shorten your stride and aim for a higher cadence so your feet land directly beneath your hips.
Hunching the shoulders and tensing the upper body.: Drop your shoulders away from your ears and keep your hands loosely cupped.
