Running is not JUST about the legs... @JPGloria

Don’t just run with your legs. Run with your whole body.

That is something to appreciate here.

Some runners tend to get too focused on the legs, or even think that to run efficiently, that they need to keep the upper body as still as possible.

However, you can see that to run well, it is an orchestra involving the whole body.

You can appreciate the side to side of movement of the torso as they put weight onto the leg.

Appreciate that rotational movement as well.

It is not about being too stiff.

it is also not about rotating as much as possible.

It is about finding the right amount that feels best for you.

$When you are injured, but have a race coming up “It’s just a hairline fracture” Navigating running injuries is FRUSTRATING, especially when you have put so much time preparing for a race. As runners, we tend to “play down” our injuries and symptoms. We hope that it will get us back to running sooner. However, this may lead to a more aggressive plan that may exceed what the body should be doing at the current moment. And end up leading to a slower recovery. As clinicians working with runners, we also tend to do the SAME when helping a runner through the injuries. We may be “overly” optimistic to help gain the runner’s trust initially. However, when expectations do not match reality, the runner may end up being more frustrated in themselves as things are “taking longer than they should.” The best outcomes come from: Transparency from BOTH the runner and the clinician. By giving clear information, it will help map out the best way to navigate the injury based on the runner’s short term and long term goals. Clear communication is key! - Keep in mind that this is for educational purposes only. This does not replace medical advice. - Footage from: Grown Ups 2$
