This is me running barefoot on a dreadmill within the Thomson Destiny Cruise Liner on Xmas Day 2007, as it rolls from side-to-side cruising near the Canary Islands & W. Africa. At 5% incline I start off initially at 6kph doing the Forward COS drill. Then by 1min I'm running at 10kph. Then by 1min20sec I'm running steady at 17kph ie. 5:41min/mile. Note how the angle of Fall increases as the speed increases. So, if you step through the clip until I'm just about to break support on the trailing leg (by mentally focussing on hamstring contraction) then the angle of Fall (or Lean) is from the support point (just before breaing contact with the ground) to the central hip area (Centre of Gravity, COG) and the point directly below the COG. As the speed increases then this angle increases since my trailling foot goes further back, yet I still land close under my COG. On a treadmill you will always overstride a little whereas on the pavement I'd be landing more-or-less under the COG. My right foot lands outer lateral edge nevertheless I felt very comfortable. However due to inconsistent training my aerobic engine is quite poor and my heart/lungs can not sustain the speed (the legs can!). I don't run perfect pose as I plantar flex on the right foot (push-off) and hence over Pull.
Please note that at high speed: (1) the minimal vertical oscillations of my COG hip-area, (2) the quietness of my ball-of-foot footfalls (3) the minimal use of arms and low hands close to COG, (4) the high 180+ cadence, (5) the upright torso ABOVE the hip COG area, (6) low knees, (7) stable hips with minimal hip twist, (8) the bouncing pot belly and man-boobs since the food on cruise ships is excellent & plentiful and I'm basically a pig.
On a treadmill, it is not possible to perceive the "Fall" so I imagine that I'm running downhill and hence need to Pull my ankles up vertically up ASAP to break support. The other foot lands with no mental control ie it lands of "its own accord" ideally in-time, under the GCM and moving at the same speed as the ground underneath ie 17kph in this case!!!!
