October 18th Running Clinic: The class will be titled, "Running Technique, a "new" way to look at how we run" (For further information and how to sign up click here.)
New to this clinic... Coaches Forum A portion of the clinic will be dedicated to working with track and field, cross country and triathlon coaches. This is a new segment of the clinic that we are excited to include.
Our Mission: Develop running efficiency and injury prevention through better
kinematics:
At Run Without
Limits, we have not "invented" a new running technique. Rather, we have
utilized our experiences and countless hours researching existing literature and andecdotal information in order to form, what we feel, offers the greatest level of running
efficiency and injury prevention. While there has been much
written about proper running kinematics, we have not come across one specific
running methodology that produces the best results for athletes. We
feel our methodology expands on much of the already existing information
available but incorporates additional attributes to form the proper kinematics
of running.
We are both health
care professionals and over the course of our careers both personally and
professionally, we have become frustrated with the amount of running related
issues e.g. plantar fasciitis, IT Band Syndrome, etc. We, as health-care providers, have been treating the
patients' "injury" rather than focusing on the "cause". The question we began to
ask ourselves; Is running a dangerous activity? Should these injuries be
the unfortunate by-product of continued or extreme running? We think not! We
have found that the majority of running related injuries are associated with
sub-optimal kinematics. Utilizing our methodology, we have found that the
number of running related injuries significantly decreased and there recurrence essentially eliminated.
This is what we strive to achieve as professionals in the health-care
field and what we hope to instill upon others through Run Without Limits.
