Thanks guys, just feel like I’m learning all the time. Don’t like to
think of myself as an expert or anything, just another guy trying to
figure stuff out.

Yes, my gut feeling is that the single best thing a runner can do is
knock out over striding. Fix that, and the rest may just be minor
details. I probably use a variety of foot strikes when I run see days,
but my stride is definitely shorter and quicker.

I greatly respect your input and check for post updates daily. I’m really interested to hear your feedback on the conference. We see a plethora of sports related, and running related injuries in our clinics at Yale, usually I diagnose them from behind an MRI monitor. I have always struggled with posterior tibial tendinitis but have for the most part overcome that by converting to a midfoot/forefoot striking pattern. Unfortunately, my zest for achieving the perfect form overwhelmed my patience and self discipline to do it gradually and I developed a bad case of achilles tendonitis which sidelined me for the past two and a half weeks. I would love to hear your take on diet and weight loss using running and finding that ideal running wieght. I’ve found that my own body is nearly injury free as long as I am below a threshold weight which I am about 15 lbs over as of now. I’m hoping to get below that magic number before my first marathon, Disney 2012. Keep up the excellent work.

I have been very lucky to have attended a Natural Running Symposium and Clinic taught by Ian and Danny A.

I would like to add that I am a stronger believer that a lot of injuries suffered by runners could be eliminated or prevented with the right type of gear.

Wish I could come -unfortunately, my CEU’s this year are tied into the AMAA meeting at Boston during marathon weekend, so will fortunately get to listen to Mark C. and Dan Lieberman there this time around.

Personally, after experiencing some IT band and PF pain while running, I started trying the Gokhale Method and focusing on posture improvements. The pain and inflammation cleared up in a couple of weeks, and my running form feels a lot more dialed in. A sample of one I know, but logically it makes sense that poor posture and misaligned hips could lead to pain in the lower extremities.

With three kids in the house, I spend most of my life wiping runny boogers.

Kent,

I spoke briefly about some of my marathon footage, and a bit at a public
forum on my personal running story. Course has been extremely interesting –
lots of PT’s here, and it’s very clear that the science behind the
minimalist approach is gaining momentum.

Pete
