I'm also looking at the Pose Method of running in an attempt to change my slightly rubbish style. This vid does a pretty good explanation:

Pose Technique

Very interesting series; there's one on hillrunning too. I thought about what he was showing us and realised that Stevio in our Brighton group has a similar style - very economical, he never looks like he's trying yet he's always very hard to keep up with. There's something to this, but as I found out with the barefoot experiment you need huge amounts of patience and discipline to change your style.

Bad luck on the injuries. I don't mean to sound glib when I say it was inevitable but at 'our time of life' it just is. You've made remarkable progress in a relatively short space of time. As you say time to ramp up your recovery/ prevention techniques too.
