Preparing the Foot and Ankle for the Stress of Running

Does your posture remind you of a shepherd's crook? Do you wonder if heel-striking actually matters? This week's guest, Jay Dicharry, is a biomechanics expert, former director of the SPEED Clinic at the University of Virginia, author, and inventor of Mobo Board. In this conversation, we cover all things biomechanics, how to improve posture and running performance in small steps, and how Robbe can stop rolling his ankles so damn much. 

Here's the exercise we talk about in the podcast: https://www.instagram.com/p/CKev6ldntht/
