One of these is a selection of frames from yesterday's video review, the other is from two years ago. Without cheating (by e.g. looking at weather reports for yesterday and deciding that there can't possibly have been enough sun to get the footage on the left) can you tell which is which? I'm not sure I could. Right foot should land under the head, not under the left shoulder as it does here and has apparently been doing since forever.

- armswing - well, I've seen worse (on me, two years ago) but it's still suboptimal. Need to pin the elbows closer to the body

- setdown on right leg is too far left. Setdown on left leg is too far left. (Not all the time, just some of it)

- two feet on ground two often

- recovery with foot pointing outwards

- I think those shorts are dead
