Discover how personalized coaching and attention to alignment can help you overcome setbacks and improve your running, even if you've taken a break from training.

Timestamps of big takeaways

[01:05] Importance of the First Month Foundation

The first month immersion provides runners with the foundation they need. Even if runners take a break, they still have the basics when they return.

[01:50] Creating Your Own Perception as an Adult

Adults tend to think they're doing movements correctly based on their own perception. Coaches need to ensure runners are actually doing the movements properly when they return.

[03:56] Holding Your Line - Alignment and Posture

Many returning runners struggle with maintaining proper alignment and posture. Issues often stem from muscular imbalances, such as between glutes, hip flexors and lower back.

[04:54] Body Weight Affects Running Form

Proper posture is crucial for balancing body weight while running. Runners can end up chasing their own body weight if posture is off.

[06:04] Gender Differences in Posture Issues

Women tend to lean backwards in their posture, while men tend to lean forward. These issues often arise from daily habits like working at a computer.

[09:48] Connecting the Body from Toe to Shoulder

The body is interconnected - tension in the big toe can affect the shoulder and arch. Standing with your knees locked can negatively impact joints and your running form.

[11:59] Customizing Coaching Within the Program Structure

Our coaching program is customized to each runner's needs through check-ins and feedback. We provide specific advice and exercises based on each runner's form and issues, while still maintaining the overall program structure.
