Description
In this Trail Runner Nation podcast episode, Jay Dicharry talks about the newly updated edition of his book “Running Rewired,” offering valuable insights on how to combat overuse injuries and optimize movement patterns for better running performance. He emphasizes the need for building a strong body through targeted exercises, as running alone isn’t enough to enhance muscle strength, bone density, and tendon capacity. Jay discusses the role of neuroplasticity in creating new physical connections in the brain by focusing on movement patterns. He provides practical tips for improving running form and mechanics, highlights the importance of strength training and precision movements, and stresses the significance of managing cumulative stress load to prevent overtraining. Jay also touches on the benefits of plyometric exercises, proper nutrition for bone health, and the Mobo board for improving foot stability and proprioception.
