EP 739: Effortless Efficiency: Biomechanics in Running


Listen Later

What if the key to becoming a stronger, more resilient runner isn’t about pushing harder, but moving smarter? In this episode, we’re joined by Samuel Stow, ultramarathoner and movement coach behind Pop Running. With a background in aerospace engineering, Sam blends biomechanics, breathwork, and mindfulness to help runners reconnect with their core, activate their glutes, and move with intention. We explore how awareness, not intensity, leads to pain-free and efficient movement, both on and off the trail. Sam shares practical tips for posture, breathing, and body alignment that can transform your running experience.
