My guest is Stuart McMillan, a renowned track and field coach who has trained dozens of Olympic medalists, professional athletes, and team coaches across a diverse range of sports. We discuss how to use plyometric work to improve mobility, strength, posture, and overall health. We emphasize the enormous benefits of skipping—a form of plyometrics—for joint health, aerobic conditioning, and coordination, as well as its advantages for people of all ages and fitness levels. We also explore the expressive nature of human movement, highlighting how certain movements reveal and can evolve one's unique personality and abilities. Stu explains how resistance training, skipping, and striding can improve movement efficiency in all aspects of life. Anyone who exercises, as well as serious athletes, will benefit immensely from Stu McMillan's knowledge of human mechanics and the practical tools he generously shares in this discussion.

Overcoming Winter Challenges: Deidra's Journey to Her First Ultra Marathon In the first call of 2025, Scott and Deidra discuss how she is faring in the initial weeks of 2025 of her training for her first ultra marathon.

In this episode we look at running and what makes good technique.Running involves generating horizontal, vertical, and rotational forces. The primary goal is to maximize horizontal force and minimize the other two. Horizontal force is maximized by minimizing ground contact time, ideally by landing with the foot under the hips. However, this is difficult because the foot must land at the center of gravity. Leaning forward from the waist is a common mistake, as it promotes heel striking and increases ground contact time. Shoes facilitate this unnatural running style by absorbing shock, whereas barefoot running encourages a more natural midfoot strike. Learning to lean from the ankles instead of the waist helps maintain proper posture and minimizes center of gravity displacement. By practicing good posture and increasing cadence, runners can optimize their technique and minimize ground contact time.

Your running form could make or break your next race, fixing it could be easier than you think.Fixing your running form could be the easiest way to run faster, longer, and with less effort. This episode simplifies the myths about foot strike, stride length, and posture, replacing them with actionable advice to help you improve efficiency and reduce injuries. Whether you're a casual jogger or a seasoned racer, these six form fixes will change how you run for good.Key Takeaways:Running form isn't about aesthetics but finding what works efficiently for your body.Overstriding, not heel striking, is the root cause of many common running injuries.Simple changes in posture, cadence, and stride can significantly improve performance.Timestamps:[00:00] Why running form impacts your performance[00:10] Dispelling myths about running aesthetics[00:32] What is running form and why does it matter?[02:02] The truth about foot strike and efficiency & heel striking[03:04] Mid foot striking[03:26] Forefoot striking[04:06] Posture[04:40] Using arm swing to maintain balance[05:10] How to fix your run form - free download[05:45] Breathing[06:42] Stride Length[07:46] Cadence tips for smoother, lighter runs[08:44] Final Thoughts - Don't overthink it - take your timeLinks & Future Learnings

In this episode of All Things Endurance, host Rick Prince chats with structural integration specialist, Dr. Lawrence van Lingen. Dr. van Lingen takes a holistic and systemic approach to running form due to his belief that nothing in the body functions in isolation. While some may view Dr. van Lingen's methods as contrarian in nature, they are evidence-based and get results - which may be why so many professional athletes seek out Dr. van Lingen.  About Dr. Lawrence van LingenDr. van Lingen has helped thousands of people overcome pain and injury and enhance their sports performance and everyday well-being. He has over twenty years of experience in sports chiropractic, physical therapy, rehabilitation, strength and conditioning, movement coaching, and breathing techniques. Lawrence is the founder of Innerunner, an online community with masterclasses, workshops, programs, and teachings that aim to transform your running and movement potential.

Your take on it is different. Could you explain?3.       In your opinion, do gait specialists in the US have a different view of how the body functions than elsewhere in the world?4.       Why do you think more people don't have this systemic view of how the body functions and therefore, how running gait is influenced?5.       Clearly, your model of viewing the mind/body as a whole differs greatly from most others. That being said, with respect to conventional gait analysis, what are some things that you feel they get right, and wrong?6.       Are there some common reasons that you've found across working with a variety of athletes for gait issues?7.       Do you ever encounter resistance from potential athletes with respect to your systemic view of the body?8.       If you could give just a few pieces of advice for our listeners today with respect to improving their running form, what would it be?Lastly, what are some of the biggest and most common running form myths that you are aware of, and why are they myths?

The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%.

Laura Rutterford joins Run To The Top to discuss several important topics within our community.  We lead with her experience with hip dysplasia and the steps that she took through childhood and early adulthood to get to a point where she had near-perfect running form and the ability to train for and race half marathons.  After that, we get into her professional background as a physiotherapist and some of the insights she's gained working with running-related clients to rehab various muscles, joints, posture, and overall movement issues.  Then we get into some of the essential exercises she recommends to improve form for endurance athletes and we conclude with her interest in runner-focused pilates.  This was a knowledge-packed episode coupled with touching, inspirational background stories that I think you'll enjoy.

The midstance phase of a running stride is a crucial element of running form, but many runners are ignoring it. If you have weaknesses, imbalances, or poor movement patterns, this is the part of the gait cycle that will show it. Chris Johnson, DPT is a Seattle-based physical therapist, performance coach, entrepreneur, and multiple time Kona IRONMAN qualifier who shares how midstance affects your running performance and how you can improve it. In this episode, Chris and I talk about: Midstance importance in running mechanics and injury prevention The impact midstance has on muscles and running form Common problems in midstance technique from knees to hips The gluteus medius muscle, a common problem area for runners Training the gluteus maximus and hip abductors for running mechanics How to train the midstance for stronger running Single leg exercises for runners with injuries “Movement snacks” for runners: simple movements throughout the day to help runners improve midstance This is an excellent episode for any runner who's considering how their running form plays into their performance, even beyond midstance mechanics.

The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

Movement Vault This week's show brought to you by: BiOptimizers One of the best and easiest ways to improve the quality of your sleep is by getting enough MAGNESIUM. Why? Because research shows that magnesium lowers cortisol levels, so you feel less stressed, and increases GABA levels which encourages relaxation at the cellular level, both of which help you enter and stay in a state of “deep sleep” for longer. That's why I recommend Magnesium Breakthrough by BiOptimizers. Unlike generic supplements, BiOptimizers “magnesium breakthrough” product  contains all 7 unique forms of magnesium, which is critical for maximizing its effectiveness.  If you're interested in seeing just how much magnesium can help your sleep, head to bioptimizers.com/runtothetop and use the code RUN10 to save 10% and get two special gifts.  LMNT Maintaining electrolyte levels as you gear up for your big spring races is critical to your performance.

It's not uncommon to hear conflicting information when it comes to training, nutrition, shoes and more.  There's often a lot of misleading claims and it can be hard to tell what's right and what might not be. So, in today's show, we'll go over some common beliefs in the running world to help sort out which have merit when it comes to your training.  We're calling it truth vs myth and we'll be using the latest research and science to help you make sense of what's accurate and what's not. To make this distinction we're once again turning to our expert group of RC coaches who will cover topics including: Does more mileage make you a faster runner? Can super shoes really increase efficiency? Do you need to stretch before your runs? Is it possible that smiling can increase running performance?

Should runners be practicing their form?  Running is one of the few sports that we typically spend all our time training but not practicing. But running is a highly skilled movement, and while there is no perfect running form, should we look to optimize form to boost performance and reduce injuries?  Here to answer all these questions and provide a masterclass on the subject is Doug Adams Doug is a Physical Therapist who has published and spoken at an international level on all things related to running, taught thousands of professionals his approach to running gait analysis, and designed and created a widely-adopted portable 3D Motion Analysis system called Helix 3D for analyzing and categorizing running form.

Running form has often focused on concepts like cadence and footstrike to create change and improve efficiency. But a “top down” approach - focusing on the arms, torso, and cues - is an innovative and accessible way to become a stronger, healthier runner. This week's guest on the podcast is Paul Mackinnon, a former semi-pro hockey player who has become an expert on gait retraining. Paul is from Melbourne, Australia and has worked with many high level athletes over the years to improve their running form, including former podcast guest and 2:19 marathoner Peter Bromka. My discussion with Paul is a masterclass on form. Despite this being a complex topic, his ideas are easy to grasp and  have made me rethink some commonly held concepts about running technique. Some of the topics we discuss on the episode include: Paul's “top down” approach to thinking about running form and technique 3 of the most common problem areas for runners How your arms create lift in your running The underestimated torso - why we need to focus here first The impact of running shoes on form Form cues that help reinforce proper form Why the “don't fix what isn't broken” mentality may not be the best way to approach running technique The importance of body awareness to create change in your form This week's episode can help runners learn how to improve their form at any stage of the game.  Enjoy!

A big thanks to Elemental Labs for their support of this episode! They make electrolyte drinks for athletes and low-carb folks with no sugar, artificial ingredients, or colors. And you can get a free sampler pack of 4 flavors and 8 individual packets when you pay $5 in shipping. Elemental Labs' products have some of the highest sodium concentrations that you can find. Anybody who runs a lot knows that sodium, as well as other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium, are essential to our performance and how we feel throughout the day. The citrus flavor has quickly become my favorite. I'm drinking one a day now to help me get enough fluids in our dry Colorado air. It's tasty and delicious and I find that I'm not peeing every 45 minutes throughout the day, which might be an indication I wasn't eating enough sodium. There's now mounting evidence that higher sodium intake levels are not unhealthy – and athletes need substantially more than your typical sedentary person. Of course, ask your doctor if you're worried. But for those athletes running outside in the heat, an electrolyte replacement makes a lot of sense. So check out Elemental Labs to try their new flavor or get a free sampler pack.  Thank You Gold Coast Marathon We're supported by the Gold Coast Marathon which takes place in Queensland, Australia on July 2nd, 2023.
