June 29, 2022 Range of Motion: Enough is Enough!
Too much range of motion can be detrimental and too little can also cause imbalances. How much range of motion do we need to run? What is range of motion? How do you know if you have enough range of motion?
In this episode I explore the topic of range of motion and how it influences our running. What we can do to understand if we are tight or restricted at a joint and what we can do to combat our lack of range of motion.
Inspired by Jay Dicharry and his book, Anatomy For Runners.

June 25, 2022 Running hurts your knees... when you run with poor form!!
Probably the most common thing I hear as a running coach is something along the lines of 'running hurts my knees so I don't run anymore' this is extremely frustrating to think the amount of people writing themselves off as runners because of knee pain.
Running is not the problem, the way you are running is the problem! There is a difference. In this episode I explain what to look for if you or a friend has or have had knee pain. Let's take a look at ourselves first before we blame running!
