Update: 2025-06-05
Description
I talk with Dr Kim Hebert-Losier. An associate professor, biomechanist and physiotherapist out of The University fo Waikato. You can see her profile here.
Some topics discussed:
- running as rehab
- her Calf App to evaluate plantar flexion strength and its potential relevance to clinical practice
-
whether body weight training, as opposed to heavy resistance training, can improve running economy (Kim was involved in a paper that showed this!)
- whether you need to bend the knee to appropriately target the soleus (hint - you don’t but there are some caveats)
- super shoes and running economy
- running technique and running economy
