Jack Mullaly joins us to discuss how walking, running, and moving in nature differs from walking, running, and moving in a human-made and human-designed environment (e.g., cities, suburbs, and homes).
We discuss his background, his work, what MovNat is, how moving in natural environments differs from moving in gyms and human-made environments, how to transition wisely into moving in nature, how fitness programs should be designed and how clients should be trained, and how to get into barefoot running and stay with it.
About Jack: Jack Mullaly is a man who wears many hats, each with a different print but the same underlying design. Jack is a former internationally competitive athlete is the niche sport of biketrials. He is a qualified environmental engineer and most recently the owner of Ideanthro Movement, a gym delivering fitness rooted in real world, practical human movement. While these may seem like very different pursuits, it is Jack's contention that most aspects of life are far more connected and similar than they might appear at first glance. This is known at thematic interconnectedness. Jack seeks to find these thematic interconnections to learn from what works in one aspect of life and apply them in others.
