Watch and Read this hereThe More is More Paradox of Training and Life. If I told you that less is more, you would probably believe me, right? Unfortunately, most people’s brains think more is more. It just makes sense. The more you work the more returns you get out.

We'll debunk myths with a fun real-world example, balance the scales of risk versus reward, and argue why, sometimes, less really is best. Expect to learn about focusing on higher output, not just more input, and why this approach might just transform your training, and life, for the better.Stick around till the end, and I promise you, you'll leave with a fresh perspective on training and life that could change the way you run, work, and live.

Improving running form is essential for success in any running event or endurance sport. Having good running form can help you run faster, farther, and with less effort. Poor running form can lead to injury, fatigue, and decreased performance.Unfortunately, many runners focus on the appearance of their running form instead of its efficiency. They want to look like the pros, but they don't consider the fact that the pros have likely been running for years and have developed their own unique and efficient form. It's not about looking good, it's about being efficient and effective.What you’ll learn (time stamps)02:58 Bad running form, good results.03:28 Unique running styles.07:16 How to stop overstriding.09:28 Running form tips.12:49 My training updates & Growth through imbalance.And much moreLinksRead it all hereThe opposite of perfect running formsign up to newsletter for freeTHREE THING THURSDAY NEWSLETTER - SPONSORLike what you're hearing?
