Overstriding meaning that my feet go to much in front of me? That bouncing is already very limited compared to a couple years ago and the steps are already much shorter with higher cadence. The short steps come at the price of very limited foot-lift (which might also be a result of just energy conservation).
On the uphill video I was jumping a lot left and right to avoid roots, therefore the crosses of the center line happen more than they usually are. I nerver knock my knees but it has happened that a foot hits an ankle. Indeed I do have a very narrow track, the feet are not far off the center. What gives you the impression that the core is weak ? How would that look different and what would I need to train in order to strengthen the core ?
I can do that but in that case energy consumption gets horrible, way to much energy needed to reverse those heavy legs in direction in such short intervals. Feels very unnatural. I tend to do this when running downhill in order to avoid heel-striking too much, there is a built in hesistance to do that barefoot currently, so the downhill video will not show that.
Where would the arms help in that case, usually it is told that arms should be relaxed hanging - not doing that as I find that uncomfortable. When taking very short steps in high cadence the problem with the arms as well rises that I can not move the mass fast enough those long distances so that they get that far up and back down on that frequency.
I can bring my feet higher up and used to do that when running in old puffy shoes on shorter distances, doing it with my current movement pattern would throw me into much larger steps bringing the feet much more in front, because how I currently move the higher the foot gets at the back the more in front it will swing for the step. Usually I do this to run faster.

BFwillie_g said:Also, while doing this, you could add some arm work into the mix. Push your elbows up and back, very snappy, like there's someone behind you and you want to bang him in the chin. Use your arms to count the 200 steps per minute and just relax the legs ... There are a lot of variations on these things (und, wenn du mal Zeit hast, fahr nach Kulmbach und wir können doch ein wenig zusammen trainieren
