This course is a 2-hour introductory course that teaches running skill using the Pose Method. The course is divided into four sections, (1) Running Conceptual Foundation, (2) Video Analysis, (3) Injury Assessment, and (4) Practical Drills and Exercises.
This video is primarily delivered through video. Each section of the course has a series of videos to watch followed by a brief check on learning quiz to move on to the next section. This course is made up of a series of long form lectures, short form conceptual videos, and a course handout that allows you to follow-along with the information as it's presented.
While the subject matter of the course is on running, it's possible to watch all of the content in a casual setting followed by going outside to begin training with the guidelines included in the course handout.
