 OverpricedAug 20, 2010
Being about to see how drills are performed is a plus so this DVD is a good companion to the book.
However, it is priced unreasonably high for something that is 60 minutes long and looks homemade, with blatant grammatical and spelling errors. Not looking for amazing movie directing, because that's not the point, but it had some avoidable and unnecessary 'WTF' sequences. Also, it didn't come with a drill book.
All in all, had it cost around $20 instead of $50, I would've given this five stars.

Reasonably good DVD companion to Pose Book, needed to actually see drillsFeb 10, 2010
Two of the main guides to natural (including barefoot) style running are the Evolution DVD and the Pose DVD+Book. I have both, and like both, but the material is quite different. The actual recommended running styles are very similar and both stress avoiding the traditional heel striking style caused by expensive sports shoes to avoid their associated injuries and to improve efficiency. I also browsed articles about Chi running but found too much "eastern philosophy" cluttering up the main running information, so I settled on just Evolution and Pose as the source material for my journey.
The Evolution DVD is a very simple but complete explaination of natural (forefoot/midfoot) style running and has the descriptions right in the video demonstrations. You can easly grasp the concepts and start to apply them, and probably become a reasonably good natural style runner. It also has a nice simple (but seemingly complete) set of drills. But, almost guaranteed, you will not be perfect and will have some flaws which need an experienced instructor/coach to identify and help correct - if perfection is your goal. If all you want is to become a good amateur/recreational runner (and minimize injuries) then this is a great choice.
The Pose book has a huge amount more background description, sometimes quite a bit too much and too wordy so you can easily fall into skimming and/or become sidetracked. But in the end it is more detailed, and the Pose method is based on much more detailed scientific research (not to say there is anything different or magical about its end conclusions). The DVD by itself is not really enough, most folks will need the book to go with it. And, as another reviewer said, there is way too much time in the DVD just showing Dr Romanov running (again, and again, and again...). There are quite a few more drills included in Pose than in Evolution (you DONT need the separate drill DVD, the main drills are covered in the book and the main DVD). But everything seems (to me) to be more complex (maybe more detailed and better?) and I suspect most folks will need a Pose Instructor/Coach to really become reasonably fluent with its specifics. The Pose website lists contact information for Pose clinics and Pose coaches worldwide, and if that is not for you then their forum encourages runners to video their running and post that video for Pose instructor online analysis.
So, what is the summary? I suspect most amateur/recreational runners will get most of what they need, quickly and easily, from the Evolution Running DVD. If you are a serious runner who worries about where you place in local events and/or actually wants to formally compete, the considerable time and effort put into mastering Pose is almost certainly the right answer for you - and for that you will need both the Pose book and the Pose DVD (likely not the extra drill DVD).
In both cases, either switch to barefoot running ([...]) or get minimal shoes (minimal or zero heel/arch/cushioning, flexible sole, extremely light) and then start SLOWLY to practice and buildup your new forefoot/midfoot natural style. And in both cases, try to get to one or more clinics with an experienced NATURAL instructor/coach (and **NOT** just a typical shoestore or community center "running" coach).

 Way over priced and will not make much sense if you have not read the bookJul 30, 2008
I was very disappointed with this DVD. Dr. Romanov is clearly brilliant and his pose method very good way to speed up your pace and reduce injury. However, this DVD was nothing more than video of him doing drills. It does not go into his Pose method and how to do it. I was pretty surprised to tell you the truth. If it were lower price like $19.95 I could see buying it as a reference DVD to see how to correctly do the drills, but $49.95 is highway robbery in my opinion.
If you are looking for DVD on how to run injury free and run faster, buy the ChiRunning DVD. It is significantly better and you can actually learn the ChiRunning style/form from that DVD without having to buy the book.
