The FloatRun Method was developed to be the easiest way for people to improve their running technique without restricting their unique, individual characteristics. It is not meant to be a comprehensive, in-depth technique overhaul, but it is meant to be the simplest way to master the basic hallmarks of great running technique that 98% of runners still struggle with.
Our coaches have been teaching running technique for 25+ years in everything from 1-on-1 to large groups of 200 or more. Most of the development of the FloatRun Method was done over a 10 year period where we were teaching medium sized groups nearly every week and doing research and trail and error on what cues and instruction were working most effectively.
Based in Golden, Colorado, Float Running is a continuation of the natural foot health and running form missions of our founder Golden Harper, who first created Altra Footwear in 2009. “I’m passionate about helping people with their foot health and running form to help them achieve injury free running or walking, and healthy living. Leaving Altra full-time in 2021 allowed me to focus more fully on these missions with free Float Running education and the FloatRun Harness.
The FloatRun Harness was actually a project that was in incubation prior to Altra. This invention has been prototyped and tested for over 20 years at local levels before finally being finished and commercialized.
Golden holds state, national, and world bests for running, and has set many mountain running titles and records across the western U.S., including dozens of speed descents down some of the biggest and most well-known mountains in America. Additionally, he regularly lectures at medical conferences across North America, educating sports podiatrists, sports Chiros, PT’s, and other medical professionals on his innovative approaches to foot health and running injury prevention.
Float Running is dedicated to providing simple, next level running education. With over 30 years experience working in coaching, run/walk specialty retail, and the running footwear industries, we are dedicated to bringing our wealth of experience and solutions to athletes everywhere.
