Imagine Performance Therapy

Back pain on long runs? These simple adjustments can help reduce strain and improve efficiency.

My brain 24/7:
“How can we help our runners feel stronger, recover faster, stay injury free, fuel better, sleep better, move better, and actually enjoy the process?”

It’s never just about running to me.

Balance training does not have to be a circus act. Improving your balance for running should not involve tricks.

Here are the basics:
- Unilateral exercises
- Add resistance
- Add impact
- Add unstable surface

Late to the game, but Dr. Devin finally tried carbon plated shoes for speed work (and plans to race in them.)

Quick thoughts:
* superhero feel
* Same paces = less effort
* Easy to accidentally run too fast
* She could feel the plate by the end of the run and feet need a break.

Takeaway is save them for speed + race day. Not an everyday trainer.

If you skip that first three steps… you’re not lifting at your best.

Footwork… the part everyone skips until they realize it’s the whole thing.
