Building The Functional and Complete Runner

Running is a primitive movement that many people can benefit from. Unfortunately many people who enjoy running spend too much time recovering from injury and not enough time maximizing their performance. Extrinsic factors that cause people to get injured and stop running might be improper shoes, increased volume too soon and random program design. Intrinsic factors could be dysfunctional movement patterns, muscle imbalances, poor lifestyle habits, weight gain or poor running gait. Running is a great activity to build aerobic capacity, stay lean and healthy and improve your mood.

The Importance of Running Well

Is it more important to run well or run more? When you show up to a half or full marathons there are many recreational runners out there who have trained to just finish. They will sludge through the event, shuffling their feet so they can cross the finish line. The achievement of finishing an endurance event can be exhilarating but the damages it can have on a body can be debilitating. 66% of runners get injured. Why is this stat so high? My opinion is that many people rush into running more and cause overuse problems that can hinder their overall performance.

3 Offseason Treadmill Workouts Under an Hour

The triathlon offseason is a time to let off the gas pedal, allow our body to fully recover and get away from the constant grind of training. We usually have a 4-8 week period after our last race where training volume should be kept low. But it is very important to still train. Structured training is not what we are after. We will leave the periodization cycles for the main periods of the triathlon season. The offseason can be a great time to implement lower volume workouts but can still help you maintain your fitness levels.

Run Analysis Part 1 - Body Position

For athletes seeking to make improvements in their running form, Trismarter offers a run analysis service. The basis of our running form philosophy is that all movement while running is focused towards a common goal of forward propulsion. This simply means we take into account the entire body position and its movement at every stage within a single stride, analyze and correct the position and movement as needed to positively effect the runner’s efficiency, and thus effect the runner’s ability to travel faster and further.

Trail Running for Dummies

When humans first started running, it was obviously not on pavement or a treadmill, it was on a dirt path, animal trail or in an open meadow. This type of running made them stronger and more balanced, and it can do the same for you!

Orthotics in running shoes - What's the true story?

Orthotics in running shoes must be one of the most controversial topics in the history of sport, so you can trust ironguides Coach Jono Rumbelow to have an opinion on that one.
