Description


In this enlightening episode, we sit down with Tom O'Halloran, a physiotherapist and founder of Mechanics of Movement. Tom shares his journey of becoming a specialist in biomechanics and skill acquisition, emphasizing the importance of coordination in running, which is often underappreciated. We dive into the concept of motor learning and skill acquisition, discussing the constraints-led approach and its nuances.

Our conversation then flows into the new ‘Run Stronger’ app, a collaborative effort between Tom and myself (released May 1st), which combines strength and co-ordination exercises aimed at improving one’s running performance and injury prevention. Tune in to learn more about how to become a better runner and take your training to the next level.
