Description

Maybe you've heard that you need to "fix" your running form - but what does that even mean? There are so many schools of thought when it comes to running that it can be hard to know what's true. While your running form might look different from everyone else's, there are some universal things that hold true for almost everybody.
That's what this episode is about.
If you've been trying to improve your running form so you can go faster and avoid injury - or figure out if changing your form is even a good idea - then you're going to love this episode.
If you know someone else who has been battling form issues, please send this their way.
Thank you for listening!
