Really quick tip about not going too quick! I see so many cases of patellar tendon or Achilles tendon pain 1 -2 days after a runner did a hill work out if they ran the downhill too fast.

The specific request this week was for a tip on increasing internal rotation. I actually tend to see the opposite issue in many runners. Too much internal rotation can make a runner more likely to get a variety of injuries. If you have concerns about your own specific range of motion, I recommend having an athletic trainer, physical therapist, or doctor measure that for you. The exercises in this video address multiple different hip movements and are appropriate for improving mobility in all runners.

Strength training is so important for runners. Why? Running is a power sport. Obviously endurance is important, but every step is essentially a single leg jump. Our bodies need to be able to produce and absorb high amounts of force. Now here’s a question for you: if Superior Running Medicine hosted a winter strength training class for runners, would you be interested? Put your answer in the comments!

Two months ago I couldn’t stand up straight. I spent most of the day lying on my back on the wood floor. I had to take a muscle relaxer and a steroid just to relieve the pain enough that I wouldn’t cry in frustration. I didn’t run at all for one month, and the first time I did, it was one minute of jogging/one minute of walking on the LightSpeed Lift I’m not posting all this to be dramatic. I’m doing it as a reminder to trust the process:
🌟 Seek the help of an athletic trainer, PT or doctor. 🌟 Do your exercises. 🌟 Follow your cross training and return to run plan.
Wednesday night I was able to run a trail race. I didn’t “race” it. I have no idea what my pace was or my age group place or gender ranking. But I was so happy to be out there, running pain free. And I was every bit as happy to see so many of my clients out there as well. I’ve been trusting the process to be a good example for all of them!!

Dropping some knowledge on a Monday. When an AT asks questions, pokes, prods and makes you kick their hand, we are ruling out all of the things that are NOT wrong so we can more accurately diagnose your problem!

Although I never want anyone to get injured, I am here for you if you do! 3D walking and running analysis can be an incredibly helpful component of injury rehabilitation. If we have a baseline analysis on you when you are healthy, it can help us determine when you have returned to full strength. Without a baseline, we still have well researched normative values that can point out which areas might need extra work post-injury. Real time movement data shows us exactly what is happening so we can fix the root cause, not just the symptoms.
