As a physical therapist, I often find that there is a debate when it comes to running… That is, is running a learned skill or is it something that we innately pick up and do well right away?

In this episode, Golden Harper, creator of the Altra Running Shoe will be discussing several topics that will make you a faster, healthier, and happier runner. This episode covers…Golden's running story and how he ran his first marathon at age 10The importance of mindset and happiness to sustain running long term The 4 key principles to perfect running formHow it led Golden to creating the Float Harness What a zero drop shoe isThe 4 components of a shoe that will keep your feet strongHow and why Golden created the Altra Running ShoeGolden Harper is the creator and founder of Altra and P.R. Gear. He is a foot health, footwear, and running biomechanics expert with several decades of hands-on experience working in these fields. Golden studied Exercise Science at two Universities, where he was particularly focused on biomechanics, kinematics, and coaching. During this time, he authored several research articles on running-related injuries and running technique. Golden grew up in the footwear industry, with his Dad working for Nike and Saucony most of his childhood, and his mother being a sponsored athlete as well. His family opened a walking and running specialty store when Golden was 9, and he started working there right away. He began managing the store between high school and college, and came to the realization that when it came to footwear, most of what they were doing was not effective or scientifically based. Given that nearly all shoe store ‘training' is propaganda from shoe companies, Golden set out to do the ‘Foot Health and Running Injury Major' in college. Between the ages of 10 and 14, Golden ran 5 marathons, debuting with a State Record 3:08 performance. He followed that up with a 2:57 performance that was good for a National Best for age 11. At age 12, he ran the St. George Marathon in 2:45, setting a world best. He went on to win 2 Cross Country State Championships and became a Cross Country All-American when he and several others all broke the previous national championship record at the Footlocker Cross Country Championships. His Senior year of college, Golden nearly went undefeated at collegiate distance Cross Country races. Golden has run professionally after college, winning Ultra-marathons and many mountain races. He is a downhill specialist and holds descent records on mountains all over the rockies, including Mt. Timpanogos in Utah and over a dozen 14ers in Colorado.
