What is an important cue for Head, Eyes, and Neck position when on the treadmill?

Maintaining the chin parallel to the ground while running is important for posture and biomechanics. This position aids in promoting a neutral spine, which can enhance overall stability and reduce the risk of injury. When the chin is parallel to the ground, it helps keep the head aligned with the spine, allowing for optimal airflow and less strain on the neck and upper back.

In addition to proper alignment, this position encourages the individual to maintain a forward focus, which can also help with balance and running technique. By not allowing the chin to dip too low or tilt too high, runners can maintain a better overall running posture, promoting efficiency and comfort during their workout.
