The Importance of Understanding Running Mechanics

Understanding how the body moves when running is crucial for improving efficiency and performance. The concept of 'running rewired' focuses on training the brain to enhance movement patterns rather than simply correcting running form. This involves recognizing that each runner has their unique biomechanics and efficiency cannot be achieved through one-size-fits-all solutions. Therefore, individual assessments of mobility and strength are essential to tailor approaches that eliminate inefficiencies and help runners achieve their best form.
