Intro

This is a quick summary of The Running JEDI has Landed from Seth James DeMoor. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

Running tall: Imagine a light string pulling at the top of your head to keep your posture upright. This helps you avoid slouching and maintain efficient form, which is especially important when you’re pushing your limits. A strong, stable core is non-negotiable when you’re mastering interval training.
Pre‑hab focus: Simple band work and single‑leg drills are featured to reactivate hips, glutes, and improve bone density. This foundational strength is essential for staying injury-free, whether you’re building a base or aiming to master the 10K.
Community vibe: Connect with other runners via Strava groups, Discord, and Instagram – the channel encourages you to join local clubs and share stories.
15‑minute “injury tunnel” segment: A short, motivating talk about staying positive during rehab. It’s a must-watch for anyone frustrated by a setback while on their journey toward a new PR or mastering 5K speed.

Workout Example – “Running Tall” Drill

Setup: Attach a resistance band to a stable pole behind you. Hold the band with both hands, arms extended forward.
Posture cue: Visualise a string pulling upward from the crown of your head; keep your head up and shoulders relaxed.
Movement: Perform a single‑leg march (alternating legs) while maintaining the band tension.
Reps: 2 sets of 10 marches per leg (20 total per set).
Progression: Add a light dumbbell or increase band resistance as you get stronger; eventually incorporate “boom‑boom” hops described in the video.

Closing Note

Give the “Running Tall” drill a try on your next easy run or rehab day, and feel free to tweak the pace or reps to match your current fitness level in the Pacing app. Stay connected, stay tall, and may the Running Jedi be with you
