The 7 beginner secrets to pro level run form


Listen Later

Back when I ran track in college, I had a decent amount of raw genetic talent to run faster. But as I graduated to endurance running, my inefficient overstriding led to some serious knee injuries. Imagine how fast I could have been if I actually worked on my form.

Learn the 7 best tips to run your fastest and avoid injuries.
