Injury Prevention & Performance Enhancement for Runners




Injury Prevention & Performance Enhancement for Runners

My goal with this course is to improve every runner's confidence that they can reach their full potential while making it fun and rewarding. 

28+% of runners sustain some sort of running-related injury over the course of any given year with many of these injuries being highly preventable.

With my background as a physical therapist, fitness coach, and former D1 collegiate runner, I intend on providing the most actionable and evidence-based content to help prevent these injuries while improving running times.

This course is designed for the beginner to elite runner. I cover many major running-related topics:

  • Evolution of running: How any why we are all designed to be runners.

  • Running biomechanics: Deep dive into running gait patterns.

  • Running-related injuries: How to mitigate the five most common running-related injuries.

  • Exercises designed for injury prevention and optimizing performance: Cover hip, quad, ankle, and foot strength/performance exercises to ensure your limbs are bulletproof to whatever you throw at them. This section comes with instructional videos to ensure you are performing these exercises with perfect form and effectiveness.

  • My most commonly asked running-related questions:

    • Does foot posture and specific running shoes  really matter for most runners?

    • What is heel-to-toe drop and it's relevance to running?

    • Should I switch to minimalist running shoes?

    • Should I use orthotics?

    • Should I be doing static stretching?

    • Is running cadence important?

    • Is it okay to train on a treadmill vs. overground? 

    • Is it okay to run during pregnancy?

    • Does running cause arthritis? 


I hope you enjoy!
