“The Pose Method of running has not only eliminated my injuries, it
has been an integral part of continued improvement in my chosen
sport. In fact at 52 years of age I am still improving. A bonus of
the Pose Method for me has been significant health and strength
improvement. My journey has been patient and progressive and had I
continued to run as I did previously I believe I would now be
limited to playing board games. My advice is to be patient and
persevere; it truly is worth it.”
—Terry Roberts, 35 time Ironman finisher and Ironman Australia
legend
"I have used these principles to develop running skill in US Army
Soldiers since 2008 and have seen decreases of up to four minutes
on a two-mile run within just two weeks.”
—Dr. Charles Blake, US Army Lieutenant Colonel and
Director of US Army Physical Fitness School
“About one year ago, I could not run 50 yards without extreme
IT Band Syndrome pain. I spent 30 minutes with Dr. Romanov and
could run as far and as much as I wanted pain free. Today, I
am the USA Paratriathlon National Champion.”
—David Kyle, Associate Director of Health and Physical Education,
University of Alabama
“The material and insights detailed in The Running Revolution
are scientifically, physically, and emotionally profound. The
Pose Method has the potential to be used as a standard by which
running performances can be evaluated, coached, and
enhanced. If you are a runner looking for a resource to
reduce injury risk, improve performance, and build your training
program, look no further. In 25 years of working with running
athletes, I have yet to find a more meaningful resource.”
—Tom Whipple, Physical Therapist, Penn State Sports Medicine and
author of The Endurance Paradox
“Romanov’s teachings have dramatically changed and fundamentally
shaped the way we think about, understand, and teach not only
running, but all movement. I can say unequivocally, that no other
information I have acquired in my career has influenced my teaching
process more. The Pose Method is the only teaching method we use
for our runners at LA PALESTRA.”
—Pat Manocchia, former “Good Morning America” fitness expert and
founder of LA PALESTRA Center for Preventative Medicine
“To tens of thousands of runners, including me, Nicholas Romanov
walks (and runs) on water. Approaching running as a
skill to be learned, his groundbreaking, much-copied Pose
Method established a new paradigm, promoting a soft, natural
landing that minimizes impact, maximizes speed,
eliminates injuries, and saves running careers. No one thought
about form until Romanov came along; now we know that it is
crucial. I've interviewed dozens of runners who simply would not be
running without it.”
—Roy M. Wallack, author of Barefoot Running Step by Step and Run
for Life
“The Pose Method of running has been a crucial component of my
Physical Therapy practice. Not only does this method offer a
clear standard for teaching and modifying running form, it also
allows runners to run more efficiently. I instruct my patients in
the Pose Method before allowing them to run again. Since
adopting this practice I have seen patients who were unable to run
for years, not only start running again, but do so pain free. Other
patients have shaved one to two minutes, on average, off of their
two-mile Army Physical Fitness Test run times. Since learning the
Pose Method, I have personally dropped my half marathon time by 10
minutes.”
—Lieutenant Colonel Angela Diebal, US Army Physical
Therapist
"There's no doubt about it, the Pose Method made me a more
efficient runner. And the beauty of the system is that no matter
who you are, if you stick to the principles and apply them in each
training session, you can't help but improve."
—Andrew Walters, Elite Australian Marathoner, Pose Method coach and
founder of Setai-Do Australia
“I discovered Dr. Romanov's Pose Method about four years ago, and
it has changed the way I understand running. Since then both my
athletes and I have gained the ability to run great distances with
less stress on the body, faster recovery and reduced
running-related injuries. This book will help transform you into a
smoother, more confident athlete.”
—Gil Cramer, Running Technique Specialist and elite Ultra
Marathoner
“Movement skill is foundational for the performance
community. Dr. Romanov brings the same approach to running.
Romanov's Running Revolution is the common standard upon which
running skill can be built.”
—Colonel David Feltwell, US Army Physical Therapist
“Dr. Romanov has spent the majority of his life thinking about
running problems and in close to one day the solutions came to him:
Pose Method. I am overwhelmed by gratitude when I ponder how much
time Dr. Romanov has invested into solving many of the running
problems we have not understood in the past.”
—Debbie Savage, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Australian Sports
Commission and former elite sprinter
“Romanov’s years of research and practice, coupled with Brungardt’s
instructional writing, should be inspiring and informative for
casual joggers and marathon runners alike.” —Publishers
