Description
Today on the Run Culture Podcast, I sat down with John Nicolosi (Head of Melbourne Athletic Development). John is an experienced Sprints coach of the MAD Track Team (which contains multiple National champions, as well as Olympic and Commonwealth Games representatives). He is an experienced Physiotherapist and was also a former sprinter himself! With a shared passion for participatory knowledge, John and I open the chat by delving into the importance of having 'skin in the game' when it comes to improving your perspective and knowledge in life. John then shares his insights into what distance runners can learn from sprinters biomechanically, before discussing the ‘Constrained Led Approach’ - a powerful technique for changing an athlete's running technique over time. Whether you're a running enthusiast or simply interested in the science of movement, this episode is not to be missed! I really enjoyed this chat with John and if you did too and are interested in checking out more of his work, go to his podcast: ‘Lateral Think’ or reach out to him at: Melbourne Athletic Development on all socials (including Tic Toc thanks @Mia Gross)
