Do you remember Stan Cottrell on a WASP episode this past summer, the 78-year old who was running across the country, 30 miles a day every day for 100 straight days? He said that he’d performed a test in which they determined he was within 0.1% of biomechanical perfection! Thus at his age, he managed to run more than a marathon every day unhampered by injury. For the rest of us not in that 0.1%, that sounds pretty miraculous, doesn’t it? In fact, I’d argue that I’m in the opposite 0.1%. This is where this conversation with Dr. Andrew Fix comes in. Andrew is a doctor of physical therapy, and Board-certified in orthopedics. Actually, he has more initials after his name than anyone I have ever seen. He specializes in prevention of athletic injuries, and specializes in movement and mobility, an area in which many athletes are severely deficient, me included. Andrew has a lot of great insight and advice to dispense in this episode, so be prepared to take notes. He works at the Physio Room in Highlands Ranch, Colo., on the south side of the Denver metro area, and their Web site and YouTube channel also have a ton of very helpful videos and blog posts, some of which might become indispensable to you to stay active.  I know I am constantly working on my ankle and hip mobility to try to make it intact to Leadville, so I would personally recommend you look into those exercises. They also have an informative and entertaining podcast called The Code you should consider checking out.
