Drive with your butt!

Best running advice I've received to date...

"Drive with your butt!"

What is the meaning behind this advice, you ask? I recently commented that my quads are tiring more quickly than usual during my runs, to which the above advice was given. Basically it's a reminder to engage all muscle groups when running. Don't just pull the body along using the quads, get the hamstrings and those gluts involved. Same goes for working that core and arms. Running is a full body sport. Use the full body. But I like the summary "Drive with your butt!" best, don't you? And you know what else? It worked!
