Book Reviews of Pose Method of Triathlon Techniques
Book Review: As a Pose Method coach, let me just say...
Summary: 5 Stars
I've been a personal fitness trainer since 1983. I coach marathoners & triathletes, as well as more pedestrian athletes who enjoy running. Nicholas' first book has proved useful to me for years, now. Also, as a Pose Method coach, and now a long-time, close friend of Nicholas Romanov's I'm privy to a deeper understanding of the Method and the concepts underpinning it than what might be gleaned from just scouring the text. Yet, my allegiance to this Method ends when that Method breaks down. But, from nearly a decade of first-hand experience with Pose running, training myself, and training others, and observing the often inefficient and injurious strides and styles of other coaches and their athletes, I remain, and am even more convinced with each passing year that Pose method running is THE correct way to run in this physical world in which we have evolved. Independent, hard, scientific studies are beginning to bear this out, as well. Of course, others have already begun to appropriate what Nicholas has pioneered. Problem is they lack his vision and broad understanding of the physical world and the human being moving within it, hence, the other authorities are selling you "square wheels."
While this Method can be learned quickly, there is a learning curve, but the numerous drills and illustrations, along with the concepts and philosophy identified and developed throughout this new book elegantly simplify the complexities of movement, and establish a standard from which to judge correct or incorrect technique, specifically in running, cycling, and swimming. Incredibly, I heard a particular physical therapist in Southern California disparage Pose Method running because it requires some amount of learning, suggesting that he "mis-under-estimates" running as a mindful, technique sport. That nearly 9 out of 10 runners will be injured from their activity, despite training and treatment advances, and assorted, hi-tech, cushioning, and motion control devices and shoes might suggest otherwise. I tell my athletes that whatever time and effort it takes to understand and learn a valuable system of movement is worth what you will put into it -- consider yoga, martial arts, motorcycle riding, what-have-you -- and, they, sentient beings that they are, ultimately agree.
Nicholas' book is an enjoyable read, one that will have you thinking about running, cycling, swimming in ways you may not have imagined. And, once you're running, biking and / or swimming Pose you'll look at your sport quite differently, and better still, you'll perceive the world differently, too.
I have lots of books in my library. Few are written by visionaries. This one is.
