What's the one simple movement that can transform your running form almost overnight? Tune into this episode of the RunRX Podcast and find out! Timestamps of big takeaways The One Movement Question (00:00:55 - 00:03:15) [00:25] Coach Caroline asks "what's the one exercise I should do?" [01:26] Coach Valerie says the "ball of foot hop" is the foundation of running biomechanics, but people underestimate how challenging that is Teaching One Running Action [03:15] The RunRX method focuses on teaching the "pull" action when running. It's simple but not easy - requires at least a month of dedicated practice. Trying to speed up process by doing more doesn't work [06:04] When we’re teaching the standard of movement in running, we’re trying to instill “pose, fall, pull” into you, and the pull is the only real action you have to do. Connecting our Drills to Running [07:09] No one movement can make you stronger. That’s why we teach you how to move and work with your whole body [08:18] Some people fear joining our practice because they think they won’t be running for a month. That’s not true. You’re first going to focus on relearning the right standard of movement [09:05] To transform your running form, you need to fully commit to their 28-day incremental mechanics program rather than trying to mix it with your existing running patterns which will delay results. A Mistake we See With Running Drills [11:45] Cueing runners to "pump your arms" creates unnecessary tension and fatigue - Instead, the arm swing happens naturally when you focus on properly pulling your feet while holding good posture, rather than trying to move your arms which don't propel you forwards. [12:54] Focusing on the "pull" is the one action for runners to practice when running to get results Pulling Makes All the Difference [14:58] Coach Caroline shares how when recovering from knee surgery, Coach Valerie gave her the simple cue to imagine pulling a string attached to her ankle to lift her foot, which made all the difference in getting her running mechanics back on track.
