6 on the trails.  I'm getting the pelvis rotation thing down.  It is actually more of a swivel than a rotation.  It is simply running with your abs not your legs.  Remember when you were a kid and you were running at the local pool and the life gaurd blew their whistle and yelled stop running and you would go into this speed walk leaning forward and walking with your hips?  Well it's running like that with your hips swivelling forward and back.  To do it your core has to be activated so your pelvis is level and then your hips just swivel back and forth and you can feel it in your abs. Your legs are just along for the ride keeping you up so you don't hit the ground. Now I'm sure you're all even more confused.

Then core.

the subdued-but-still-bursting-with-excitement-walk-run after getting in trouble with the lifeguard was a really great description. i get it now. :)

This sounds a lot like race walking. Is that what you look like? Awesome!

It is much more subtle than race walking but you can feel it. You can’t force it. It just happens when all the other parts are doing what they should.

Sounds like the wobble to me! 😂

I thought about this during my cool down run this morning. I think if I tried to implement this for more than 3 steps, I would injure myself, either by falling down, or ouch, ouch, my back! I can do all of the other things on your running form checklist, but this one is kind of a deal breaker.
