Thomas Hughes, PhD, discusses running form and biomechanics for triathletes. To optimize your running performance and reduce injury risk, he believes you do not need to learn to run. You just need to teach your body to learn to run. Part 2 of 2. IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL LEARN ABOUT:
- Running cadence - why you should run at 180 steps per minute or faster
- Running shoes - how do different kinds of shoes (maximalist, minimalist and everything in-between) affect our running mechanics, and what kinds of shoes should you choose.
- Barefoot running
- Tom's take on the Pose method, Chi running, and various running devices
