Short episode summary In this episode, Coaches Valerie and Caroline discuss how an analysis of your running can help you do just that. But, a treadmill analysis is not the best option.   Timestamps of big takeaways [00:26] Coach Caroline shares a story about how before she started working with Coach Valerie several years back, she had a treadmill analysis done at a shoe store to sell her shoes. [01:32] One challenge of analyzing running movements is that if you don’t normally run on a treadmill, having an analysis of your running while on a treadmill may be pointless. [02:06] A RunRX member had a treadmill analysis, and the folks that did it focused on where her foot was landing, what her arms were doing, and the shoes she was wearing. The problem was not the shoes though! It’s not using the correct standard of movement! [04:05] At RunRX, we teach the pose method, and to ensure you’re using the correct standard of movement of the pose method, we do a gait analysis. This gives us more information about why it hurts to run than a treadmill analysis ever would or could. [05:50] You have tight hips or tight hamstrings is probably not accurate. You’re probably in pain because you’re not moving correctly. [07:28] Running pain free is about listening to our bodies, treating the whole body, and the importance of using the right standard of movement in running. [08:46] People still come to RunRX trying to treat one area, or another, but you have to treat the entire body to actually heal yourself. In other words, it’s not enough to only treat your pain where you feel it! [11:27] The end goal at RunRx? Eliminate pain, prevent recurrence, improve performance.   Rate, Review & Subscribe Reminder Don’t forget to like and subscribe to our show. You can also rate and review our show on iTunes!
