There is no single prescription for efficient running; we are all put together
differently. There are general principles of body form that can be applied to all
runners. Be sensitive to your own structure and abilities and never force a
particular running style on yourself that doesn't feel right. Your running will be
most efficient if your posture is erect, perpendicular to the ground (and
the force of gravity). Check your form as you run by storefronts in a shopping
center. If your body parts are lined up properly, you'll feel like you're moving
forward as one unit-head, torso, hips, knees and ankles all together. The storefront
windows will tell you if your head or shoulders, etc., are leaning too far ahead or behind.
