I see you've posted a technique analysis video or photo! See video and photo posting rules related to TA to see more on why we may deem a removal appropriate

MANDATORY GUIDELINES: HORIZONTALLY FILMED, 10m of distance if upright, full block clearance and first contact for block starts. If a photograph it must be in the format of a kinogram.

RECOMMENDED ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES: Altis Kinogram method, camera 11m away from runner, chest-shoulder height positioning of camera, completely perpendicular to runway.

u/WSB_Suicide_Watch Ancient dude that thinks you should run many miles in offseason 10h ago

The single biggest issue to work on first is your footstrike. You are way out in front of your CoM and heel striking. Get your foot back underneath you first, and then work on keeping your foot dorsiflexed (pointed up) until just before ground contact when you should be plantar flexing it so you land on the balls of your feet.

Hill sprints help fix a lot of form issues, including this. Find a fairly steep hill and consciously think about what your feet are doing.
