Episode description

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.


In the 80s it was mostly thought good running form was a natural talent and not a skill to be worked at and acquired. If you compare my run form from now to 20 years ago it's a world of difference.


Learn the 7 best tips to run your fastest and avoid injuries.
We believe people learn wholistically and by different means so this podcast is now available as a Youtube video and written blog post here.
