So much of running and life is about overcoming struggle. Physical challenges are a "classroom" where we learn to persevere. Through persevering, we create "remember when" moments that we recall upon in future difficult situations. In this episode, we discuss our adventure racing experiences and how to use adventure racing to work on strengthening your mindset and overall athleticism. It can also serve as a fun break from the sometimes monotony of running. All of which leads to more enjoyable running.
Sitting is the new smoking. This statement has made its way into the public conscious and it's not too far from the truth. Becoming "civilized" and sitting every day has led to an epidemic of movement dysfunction in our society which has resulted in declining health. In this episode, we talk about what sitting does to your body and how to combat the perils of sitting. By combatting what sitting does to you, you will not only improve your running but also improve your quality of life.
75-90% of runners will get an injury this year which will hold them back from reaching their goals. Our healthcare system is broken as it designed to treat symptoms rather than root causes and get you back to statistical averages, rather than optimization. In this episode, we talk about the current state of healthcare for runners and what the future holds. In addition, we discuss what the ideal "pit crew" team looks like for a runner to optimize their running experience.
Plantar fasciitis and Achilles pain stop many runners in their tracks. In this episode, we talk about some of the common causes of these injuries and some of the remedies at your disposal. Topics include ankle, big toe, and foot mechanics in addition to the role of running shoes and tendon elasticity. We conclude with a case study, examining a recent real-world example of a client we just helped overcome their two-year chronic Achilles pain in seven weeks.
Which running shoe is the best one for you? Which one is going to help you stay injury-free and set new PRs? This week we want to help you answer these questions by discussing the history of running shoes. From the original Nike waffle to the introduction of medial posting to control pronation, barefoot running, max cushion, and the current trend of carbon fiber plates. We take a look at the pros/cons of each and the role running shoes actually play in optimizing your running stride.
