Pose Method of Running

I've been reading Dr. Nicolas Romanov's book on the "Pose Method of Running". It makes alot of sense to me. The emphasis on flexibility also looks interesting.

Has anyone read the book and applied the Pose Method. I would be interested in any success of failure stories.

I was a lab worker for a study on improving running economy using the POSE method. Didn't work.

I went to a clinic/workshop here in Boulder with Dr. Romanov. I'm not the most coordinated person in the world ... and though Dr. Romanov was going to lose his cool with me doing some of the drills.

There was a triathlon guy there that was yapping about improving his 10K time by 5 min using the Pose method ... but he was a swimmer in college. With that in mind, the triathlete/swimmer could have done almost any type of training that focused on running and most likely wold have seen improvement.

Overall, I'm really not that impressed with the Pose method.
