Movement, Strength, and Injuries: Dr. John Rusin on How to Run Pain-Free
Dr. John Rusin is a physical therapist and trainer who's worked with nearly every professional sports league as well as Olympic athletes. His new book, Pain-Free Performance, is now available.
Our conversation focuses on movement, coordination, and building efficiency. We discuss:
common mistakes in the weight room
how to structure better strength workouts
mindfulness and breathing
a nervous-system oriented warm-down
when to know if you're putting in too much effort in the gym
We should not consider strength training to be "cross-training" - it's just part of the normal training process. Learn how to incorporate periodized, runner-specific strength training in your running at strengthrunning.com/strength/.
