Evolution running worth the money?
Your point about economy improvement not being immediate is an excellent one! I agree completely. That is the primary reason why there is so little published research on running economy. Getting long term studies funded is extremely difficult. A 4-week study is certain to “prove” that however each runner already runs is best.
The testing is not only to validate and “prove” what works, but to determine what works. During my research we tried many different techniques, incorporating those that reduced VO2 and discarding those that didn’t. What the coach thinks looks smooth and what the athlete feels is good aren’t necessarily the best methods.
I’m not talking about the lateral plane, but about how efficient runners use their legs to produce forward, horizontal propulsion. Romanov never covers this - never discusses at all what to do to create propulsion.
Effecient runners use hip extension and not knee extension or knee flexion to produce pro

Evolution of Evolution Running
For the past decade, African runners have dominated distance running at its highest levels. Research on what makes these runners faster consistently demonstrates normal VO2 Max and lactate threshold levels for elite runners. Their height, weight, and limb-length ratios all fall into the normal category. Clearly and consistently, what sets the great African runners apart is that they are more efficient than their competitors, running faster without expending more energy.
Benefits of Evolution Running
Runners who truly want to perform to their potential need to make optimizing technique a high priority in their training. Improving technique will enable any runner to maximize economy and minimize injuries, two major keys to maximizing performance. Runners, and their coaches, have basically ignored technique for years, assuming that their "natural stride" will give them efficiency and injury resistance. We have found that this i
