CREDENTIALING OPPORTUNITY: The Pose Method Running Skill training course and the Certified Running Technique Specialist credential (10 promotion points) are aligned with the Soldier Common Core (MOS) and P5 Master Fitness Trainer (ASI).

POSE METHOD® OF RUNNING + ARMY TRAINING

The Pose Method of Running courses have been used by the military since 2008 and on October 1, 2020 the Pose Method became the method for the running skill program and drills published in the updated US Army Holistic Health And Fitness Field Manual (FM 7-22) and Holistic Health And Fitness Drills And Exercises Army Techniques Publications (ATP 7-22.02).

The Pose Method of Running training course and the Certified Running Technique Specialist credential are aligned with the Soldier Common Core (MOS) and P5 Master Fitness Trainer (ASI).

The 2 Mile Run is part of the physical fitness evaluation, and is commonly failed not due to a lack of trying, but lack of skill. The Pose Method running skill training addresses that point by providing a running standard and instructions on how to learn and how to teach it.

The Problem

Running Skill is not officially taught at any stage of training throughout a service member’s career. Running Injuries are a big problem in the Army, costing 577 million per year, and more than 2 out of 3 injured soldiers face injuries from running. Training service members in Running Skill retroactively (after Basic Training or AIT) has not been a feasible option until now.

The Solution

Health and Holistic Fitness, or H2F is a big initiative by the Army to revamp training protocols. One of the major updates in the new doctrine is the addition of Running Skill (Pose Method) in FM 7-22 (Chapter 7).

Running Skill training is now available, on demand – forcewide – through the ArmyIgnitED program. Individual Soldiers can watch Pose Method running skill training videos online, and even become a certified instructor (promotion points)!
