In the modern era of human health, we have become miseducated and led astray when it comes to the paradigm between fitness and health. This is my two cents on the matter.

He has a rich history of interesting careers and involvement in many different sports and activities that give him a unique perspective when it comes to conservative musculoskeletal care, overall human health, as well as business and finance.

Enjoy.

Breathing and Running
It’s obvious that running is an aerobic-based activity, but the lack of focus and intentional training as it pertains to the respiratory system leads to reduced performance and sometimes even injury. In this solo cast, I discuss an article I wrote for Trail Runner Magazine, and I break down the importance of the mechanics, physiology, and state control of breathing and how to implement simple yet effective breathing strategies into your running routine.
