Question
Hello, Mr. Vuhnovich. I read your answer about the best way to take care of an injury. I pulled my hamstring early in the spring season and then gave it rest but kept pulling it over and over. I tweaked it about 3 weeks ago and haven't done anything on it so I'm doing the rest part. I was curious what the Pose Running Method is? Also any other helpful hints, this coming season is a big one and I need to be at full strength. Thank you for your time.

Answer
G'day Austin.

Here are some links on the Pose Method:

Also if you live in the Irvine/ Orange County area of SoCal I can suggest a coach. He does a course at a local community sports center for about $65 over 6 weeks and it is awesome.

Let me know if you have any specific questions.

Cheers mate.

Expertise

I can answer most questions in detail but I am best used for "Forward" positions especially the "tight 5" and the scrum. I am a front row guy myself. I have good knowledge of game strategy and tactics. I cannot give detailed help with kicking myself but I can suggest general training applications and point you towards good resources. I am a New Zealander living in Southern California, USA. With regard to fitness or weight training: please understand that you are best going to a gym and getting first hand consultation from a qualified trainer. The risk of injury is too great for me to simply give you a program without being able to analyze your fitness or capabilities in person. I really suggest going through my previously answered questions as well. The most common repeat questions refer to tackling.
