It is in our nature to run, yet it is the nurture of modern living has conditioned our bodies to be less apt to sustain the rigors of long distance running. By balancing the specificity of training, where the more you run the better runner you become, with more balanced weekly routine including strength training and mobility work; you can become a more successful runner with less risk of injury. In addition to learning how to build a sustainable running regiment we will look at running mechanics from head to toe. Discussion will also include a cursory look at equipment and how it can be different for everyone.
