I had my running professionally analysed last night, each step recorded onto video.
I cringed during the first playback.
I run like an old lady with a sore hip running for a bus carrying her weekly shopping. My left leg appears to operate somewhat normally, but my right is terrible. It over extends due to a rotation in the pelvis, scuffs the ground midway through a strike, lands heavily on the mid-foot and locks out occasionally.
The basic conclusion being that I am weak.
"For someone of your age and physique, your core muscles are way below par." It nearly brought a tear to my eye.
Current weight is 12 stones 11 pounds (179 pounds / 81.2 kg).

Of course Weakness is normal, we Doctors, ( ref: Dr Oetker and others) file this under the broad heading of Natural Weakness (underscored).
What you're talking about here may be Unnatural Weakness a cumulative process, the results of minor injuries, overeating, even traumas such as having lost sight of your mum in a supermarket age three.
Which brings us onto the subject of Posture.
Posture has a considerable Psychological component, the stance of the defeated, the shuffling gait of the complete loser cap in hand "Can you spare 50 pence I've missed my bus" and so on.
These deficiencies of Moral Fibre have been largely overlooked in modern times but can have a severe affect on sporting performance.
What we refer to as the Futility Threshold, this can be worked out from a table known as the FT Index.
