Gait Retraining & Collegiate XC Coaching 37:38

“Gait retraining has always been a significant part of the injury rehab space I’ve been involved in as a kinesiologist and osteopath. You can do great manual work on the table and get things moving the way you want, but if you return to the same patterns that caused the problem in the first place, those changes won’t last long.” Jordan Collison, head cross-country coach at the University of Windsor, joins Brad Miles in this episode to share his insights on the transformative impact of gait retraining. Did you know it can reduce injuries by 62%? Jordan breaks down how addressing movement patterns, like overstriding, can make athletes more efficient and resilient. This episode highlights how tools like Lever play a role in balancing recovery and performance. From easing athletes back into running after injuries to improving training consistency, Jordan explains how this approach keeps athletes healthy and performing at their best. With a blend of science, experience, and practical advice, this episode challenges you to think: How often do we overlook the fundamentals in our pursuit of progress? Jordan’s perspective offers fresh ideas for runners, coaches, and anyone seeking to optimize their performance. Quotes “Gait retraining has always been a significant part of the injury rehab space I’ve been involved in as a kinesiologist and osteopath. You can do great manual work on the table and get things moving the way you want, but if you return to the same patterns that caused the problem in the first place, those changes won’t last long.” (11:40 | Jordan Collison) “This ties back to gait retraining. One of the biggest issues I see is overstriding—where the foot extends out in front of the knee and center of mass. It’s like applying the brakes with every step, resembling more of a walking gait than a running one. We work to shift people back to a running pattern, almost like a marching motion, where the foot lands beneath the knee, creating a more vertical shin angle. This positions them optimally to be ready to hit the ground efficiently.” (16:20 | Jordan Collison) “I often ask people how they run faster, and a common response I get is, ‘I try to take a longer stride.’ A lot of people believe that simply reaching for a longer stride will help, but the truth is that a longer stride should come from putting more power into the ground, allowing you to travel further without reaching for it. That’s one of the key differences we focus on in gait analysis.” (17:49 | Jordan Collison) “A common exercise I recommend is stiff ankle hops. The goal is not to have a lot of flexibility or a ‘pogo’ bounce in the ankle, but to keep the ankle stiff and minimize time spent on the ground. This exercise is especially important for masters athletes. After 30, the ability to maintain ankle stiffness becomes the biggest difference between a 20-year-old and a 40-year-old. Staying on top of exercises like this helps prevent the loss of ankle stiffness, which is one of the first things to deteriorate with age.” (21:14 | Jordan Collison) Links Connect with Jordan Collison: https://www.instagram.com/windsorlancerxc/ https://www.instagram.com/jordan_collison/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Progressive Training, How this Coach Uses LEVER 3 Days per 9 Day Training Cycle 24:21

cách đây 21 weeks trước24:21

“How can we kind of be a little cutting edge? How can we find something new and innovative to help push us forward, help push the program forward?” Coach JT Klopcic, the associate head coach of cross country and track and field at Goucher College, lives by these questions as he integrates new technology into his training toolkit. In this episode, he joins Brad Miles to share how the Lever system, once just a recovery aid, evolved into a core part of his athletes’ performance routines. What’s the real value of body weight support in training? Coach JT explains how it helps his athletes build endurance and strength while easing physical strain, setting them up for high-quality workouts and consistent progress. As Coach JT breaks down his approach, he offers insights into the careful balance of innovation and tradition—when to stick with tried-and-true methods and when to embrace tools that move the needle. For any coach looking to push their program forward, this episode is a reminder: sometimes, it’s the progressive steps that make the difference between a good season and a breakthrough. Quotes “I started to realize, we’ve gotten some really good, high-quality workouts in on this. Why don’t we try sprinkling it (Lever) in a little bit more throughout some of our cycles as true workouts?” (06:44 | JT Klopcic) “What I might do is, in those first three weeks, set it ( Lever) at 40% of body weight, doing three sets of 15 seconds at their spin tempo pace. Then, over the next three weeks, I might either increase the duration to 20 seconds or reduce the percentage of body weight being taken off by the lever. It’s a progressive approach that gradually leads to the goal.” (10:59 | JT Klopcic) “Being able to take a little bit of that load off and do some of our more or true endurance workouts on the Lever has really, really kind of helped us.” (12:56 | JT Klopcic) “The Lever has certainly been really, really huge for us and certainly pushing us forward, especially with that middle distance group.” (22:45 | JT Klopcic) Links Connect with JT Goucher: https://www.instagram.com/gouchertfxc/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

1 Hour and 20 Minute IM Marathon PR with Pro Steph Clutterbuck 46:12

“The 3:05 was a shock. It’s not something that I expected. The approach that we’re taking is how quick can you get on the volume of training that you’re currently doing, and then you can increase it, and then you can get faster,” says Steph Clutterbuck, a professional triathlete, as she reflects on her remarkable marathon performance at Ironman Chattanooga and the gradual, deliberate strategy that led to her unexpected personal best. Steph joins Brad Miles in this episode and opens up about her journey from swimmer and rower to professional triathlete, with only ten months under her belt as a pro. How did she manage to secure a Kona qualification so early on? Steph shares her strategy of focusing on quality over quantity in her run training and explains how minimal run volume led to her unexpected marathon success. But what did it take for her to refine her form while staying injury-free? Steph talks about the mental and physical aspects of racing and also shares the mindset shifts that helped her perform at the highest level. As she gears up for Kona, her insights into balancing ambition with smart training make this episode a must-listen for athletes aiming to push their limits. Quotes “I wasn’t running efficiently enough to be able to execute run sessions. I was just getting so tired from trying to hit paces that I should have been able to hit early last year around a 1.24 half marathon, which isn’t awful. It’s pretty good. I couldn't get anywhere close to half marathon race pace and training. So, it just wasn’t making sense. Whereas now, I’m able to run efficiently enough that I can actually execute run sessions.” (24:44 | Steph Clutterbuck) “In my mind, I needed to run more without running more. I think I don’t know how else to explain it. All I needed to ingrain was better movement patterns, and then it’s all about habit forming. We all know that the best way to form a habit is to do the action more frequently. But with running, when you’re running at full body weight, the injury risk increases exponentially with it. Whereas with the lever system, I can run more without running more, but I can reduce my body weight and therefore reduce the risk of injury.” (26:07 | Steph Clutterbuck) “I just was in this completely zen flow state where the world seemed to cease to exist. I was just running and I was focusing on the sound of my feet hitting the floor.” (38:15 | Steph Clutterbuck) Links Connect with Steph Clutterbuck: https://www.instagram.com/stephclutterbuck/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Slowtwitch Announces New Tri Team Portal 49:57

“I want athletes to have success. I want companies to have success, and I want race directors to have success,” shares Eric Wynn, the president of Slowtwitch, an influential platform for endurance athletes. He joins Brad Miles in this episode to share his journey from being a casual user of Slowtwitch to eventually leading the platform, which has now become a go-to resource for the triathlon community. Eric introduces the Tri Team Portal, which is designed to improve communication and engagement for endurance teams and offers a much-needed alternative to platforms like Facebook. How will this portal change the way teams connect? And why does Slowtwitch focus so much on supporting smaller businesses and maintaining a space of integrity? If you’re wondering what the future holds for endurance sports communities, Eric offers some great insights into how Slowtwitch is working to lead the way. Quotes “One of the things we have is this crazy, cool online forum community that started 23 years ago by Dan Anfield. It’s this really cool community where people are able to gather and share information.” (06:28 | Eric Wynn) “At the end of the day, Dan is very analytical. He’s not very digital. He’s very hands-on. And I am not that analytical, I’m very visual. And so, I felt like I brought that to Slowtwitch from a storytelling perspective.” (10:20 | Eric Wynn) “We started this company called Slowtwitch Media House, which is essentially a digital agency centered around the mission to make sure that smaller companies are able to flourish inside the endurance space.” (11:06 | Eric Wynn) “I feel like I’ve had success. I want athletes to have success. I want companies to have success, and I want race directors to have success. Because to me, it’s where I find a lot of peace and joy, which is odd because it’s a very selfish space. I really enjoy what we’re able to do in this environment.” (13:12 | Eric Wynn) “We’re going to launch this before all the teams really get settled into communicating with their team members for 2025. We’re super pumped because it’s a huge driver for us. More people on the site means the community can grow, more people can look for information in the forum, and new users can contribute. They can do so in an environment where they feel safe until they venture into the actual forum itself.” (40:22 | Eric Wynn) Connect with Eric Wynn: https://www.instagram.com/slowtwitch/ https://slowtwitch.com/ Links https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Online Endurance Coaching Education with UESCA Founder, Rick Prince 22:23

cách đây 32 weeks trước22:23

“I felt there was a big gap that could be filled with good, science-based, evidence-based information,” says Rick Prince, founder of the United Endurance Sports Coaching Academy. In this episode, Rick joins Brad Miles to explore the void he noticed in endurance sports education, which inspired him to create UESCA in 2014. For Rick, staying current with evidence-based information is so crucial because it’s what ensures that coaches are providing athletes with the most effective and safe training methods, ultimately leading to better performance and injury prevention. Rick shares insights into the advancements in endurance sports science, particularly in female physiology and training technologies. He clears up common misconceptions, such as the myth that running damages your knees and the misunderstood role of lactic acid in muscle fatigue. Rick further explains UESCA’s certification programs, which are designed to be thorough and adaptable to fit each learner’s pace. He highlights the significant contributions of experts like Dr. Matt Hansen and athletes like Mel Rojas in shaping UESCA’s curriculum. He also gives a sneak peek into what’s next, including a strength and conditioning certification for endurance athletes and a newly launched course on physiological adaptations to endurance exercise. Tune in to this episode of Run Fast, Run Forever Presented by Lever Movement to boost your coaching skills and discover the importance of science-based training and ongoing education in the ever-evolving world of endurance sports. Quotes “A lot of the programs that were out there, they would come up with something and wouldn’t update it at all. So, it was just really antiquated information that you were getting. One of the things we make an effort to do is update the information as new information comes out.” (03:15 | Rick Prince) “There are all these long-standing myths out there. I think one of the biggest ones that always gets attention is that endurance exercise is bad for you.” (06:24 | Rick Prince) “What we’re trying to do is say, ‘Hey, it’s all about education. It’s all about the experience. It’s all about those elements versus whether you’re a top performer.’” (11:19 | Rick Prince) “For us, it’s going to stay more focused on what we’re doing purely from an educational standpoint. We are currently working on a strength and conditioning certification, which we believe will be in high demand. We’re certainly receiving quite a few requests for it, and there’s never been anything specifically for strength and conditioning for endurance athletes.” (13:55 | Rick Prince) “A lot of this came from my, for lack of a better word, hatred of the personal training industry, where everything seemed like a money grab. I approached it from the standpoint of, if I were a coach or an aspiring coach, what would I want? I would always want a reference point. For example, if we update our certifications, you don’t pay for the update or for any additional content because I don’t think that’s how it should be.” (17:15 | Rick Prince) Links Connect with Rick Prince: https://enduranceconference.uesca.com/ Keywords: Use RUN75 for $75 off the Conference price https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Injured to 5k Finalist at the US Trials in 3 Months 38:56

“I had a small tear in my Achilles and sometimes it can be hard to stay motivated,” shares Willy Fink, Under Armour runner on the Baltimore distance team. In this episode, he talks with Brad Miles about his running career, highlighting his comeback from injury and performance at the US Olympic Trials. Willy recalls his early running days and his progression from high school mile races to college steeplechase and 5k events. After graduating in 2017, he balanced work and training until securing a contract with Under Armour. Following an Achilles injury in March, Willy underwent physical therapy and used the Lever system to recover, gradually increasing his training. By May, he was back racing, winning a mile and a 1500m race in Nashville, and eventually making the finals in the 5k at the US Olympic Trials. Join Willy and Brad in this episode of Run Fast, Run Forever Presented by Lever Movement as they explore the importance of patience, a strong support system, and the strategies that helped Willy stay motivated through setbacks. Learn how to turn setbacks into comebacks and find inspiration in Willy’s story of resilience and determination. Quotes “One of the things I have to keep learning over and over again is patience. It takes a long time to improve upon where you’re at; fitness doesn’t come overnight. That’s something I have to keep in the back of my mind pretty consistently, especially because I race a lot.” (14:43 | Willy Fink) “Sometimes if you have a bad race, you just have to tell yourself it’s okay. There will be other opportunities, and you shouldn’t put too much stock in every single race you run. It takes a lot of patience and self-control to enforce that in your mind. I feel like that’s been one of the biggest things for me.” (15:14 | Willy Fink) “The goal was to run as well as possible at the Olympic trials, make the final in the 5k, and go from there. In March, dealing with a small tear in my Achilles required a lot of patience and inspiration from my teammates to push through and get healthy. It was crucial to wait for my injury to heal without pushing too hard, then start training again, focusing on not jumping back in too quickly and having the patience to be truly ready.” (17:09 | Willy Fink) “As I started getting back into running, I began using the lever a lot. With an Achilles issue, putting too much weight on it can really mess things up, especially since running puts a lot of strain on your calf. Lowering the impact and weight on my Achilles was really helpful for running pain-free and gradually building up my mileage again.” (21:03 | Willy Fink) Links Connect with Willy Fink: https://www.instagram.com/eaglewilly22/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Strength for Runners How the Quad to Hamstring Strength Ratio Can Indicate Injury Risk 45:30

“You have to look at everything from the ground up to see if an area needs to be strengthened or mobilized,” says Dr. Josh Sanchez, a sports chiropractor and strength and conditioning specialist, as he breaks down the complexities of anterior knee pain. He emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive assessment, considering factors like muscle strength, IT band syndrome, and overall mechanics. In this episode, Dr. Sanchez joins Brad Miles to discuss running injuries, rehabilitation, and the critical role of strength training for runners. He shares insights from his experience with the Bowerman Track Club Elite and his personal battles with quadricep tendonitis and a fibular stress fracture. Dr. Sanchez emphasizes the need for balanced muscle strength, particularly between the quadriceps and hamstrings, to prevent common running injuries. He offers practical advice on exercises like single-leg Romanian deadlifts and Nordic hamstring curls to target these muscles effectively. This episode underscores the value of a gradual reintroduction to running and a holistic approach to injury prevention and recovery. Dr. Sanchez talks about using the Lever to gradually reintroduce running and focusing on volume over intensity to avoid re-injury. His story highlights the importance of strength training and a comprehensive approach to injury prevention and recovery for runners. Quotes “If your hamstring is weak, if you think about it, you’re going to be way out in front. And so that means your arc, the amount of time and amount of tension and load that tendon and muscle complex take is going to be longer and experience potentially more force. So, you’re more likely to have anterior shin splints with having weak hamstrings is what I see a lot in clinical practice.” (19:05 | Dr. Josh Sanchez) “There’s a lot of influencers that post: ‘Here’s an exercise for this kind of thing,’ but you have to look at everything from the ground up to see like, does this area need to be strengthened or does this area need to be mobilized? And even if a patient or athlete has anterior knee pain doesn’t necessarily mean that they have weak hamstrings or quadriceps. They could have a strong hamstring quadricep ratio, but they could still have knee pain. We’ve just got to figure out where it’s coming from.” (23:03 | Dr. Josh Sanchez) “Find someone who works with runners or whatever sport you’re in and really break down your mechanics. It’s not just about the quads and hamstrings; it could be other things too. Someone can show you how to do exercises like Nordics or RDLs because you need to have stability before you can actually load up the area. If you’re all over the place and can’t concentrate that force, you won’t be effective. That’s why machines are helpful to start with.” (36:11 | Dr. Josh Sanchez) Links Connect with Josh Sanchez: https://www.instagram.com/jsanchdc/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Sarah Svensk’s transition from doctor to triathlete illustrates her remarkable resilience and adaptability, overcoming substantial challenges to excel in a completely new field. Starting her triathlon journey in 2015 in Germany, Sarah quickly turned professional despite having no traditional background in endurance sports. In this episode, Sarah discusses overcoming recurring injuries, notably stress fractures, and how adjusting her training and recovery strategies was crucial. She highlights her record-setting performances at Ironman Barcelona and Ironman Cozumel, emphasizing the role of rigorous training, expert coaching, and the Lever Movement system in maintaining her competitive edge and managing her recovery. Sarah shares her ambitions for the upcoming season, including competing pain-free and aiming for the World Championships. She offers insights into managing bone stress injuries and balancing training with recovery, providing valuable advice for athletes facing similar setbacks. Quotes “There was an overlap when I was trying to balance working 50% and being a triathlete, but it was hard. It’s easy to get the training in, but to get the recovery and all the other necessary stuff, it’s very hard to balance with a day job, actually.” (02:05 | Sara Svensk) “In the beginning, you get devastated when you get an injury. In triathlon, there are so many other things you can do. If you have these bone reactions, then you can usually swim and usually bike, so you can develop that side of the sport. But then mentally, it’s super hard and you lose the trust in your body… It’s just like regaining the trust in the body again. But then I’m also surprised because I always heal. The body’s amazing.” (16:03 | Sara Svensk) “For the Mallorca race now, I didn't have the biggest build for the run. I think the longest run I did was 12k, but I had the lever. And I think that was a game changer for me, because then I could add on some mileage. First and foremost, I could start the run build a lot more secure and with lower impact. And then I could add some mileage and actually a little bit of speed.” (26:13 | Sara Svensk) “The best thing is that almost all the stress fractures heal. And I think just stay calm in that. Take time off. Don’t stress about it. It will heal. Just give it time.” (39:45 | Sara Svensk) Links Connect with Sara Svensk: https://www.instagram.com/svensksara/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Quotes “The biggest part for me is just the reward that you get from seeing athletes achieve the best out of themselves or get the best out of themselves. And that’s why I do it. And it’s something I don’t think I’ll ever want to stop doing.” (03:37 | Lara Rogers) “At the end of the day, it’s just hard work over a long period of time and consistency that’s kind of leading to those breakthroughs that everybody’s seeing.” (09:25 | Lara Rogers) “We have athletes on the lever and Ellie Leather specifically uses that every week for doubles for recovery runs, making sure that we’re taking a little bit of weight off but we’re still getting in the volume. And I think that’s also been super crucial for her and staying healthy. She is one of the athletes that’s taken some of the biggest steps this year. I attribute that a lot to being able to train and stay healthy and that consistency piece is key.” (13:19 | Lara Rogers) “I think a big staple for any 5K runner is doing stuff at race pace.” (22:30 | Lara Rogers) Links Connect with Lara Rogers: https://www.instagram.com/laralu12/ https://www.instagram.com/missionrun_baltdistance/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

“If I think about the biggest impact anything’s had on my life, running has probably had the largest impact,” says Thomas Neuberger, the founder of Believe in the Run. Thomas reflects on his initial experiences in running and how a personal blog documenting his TransRockies race training evolved into a leading voice in running gear reviews. Thomas shares the importance of community in running, highlighting how he started the Faster Bastards—a running club that fosters camaraderie through events and shakeout runs. Tune in to gain insights into the continuous innovation in running footwear, including a recent trip to Adidas Headquarters. Learn about Thomas’s top running shoe picks for training and racing, and discover how he utilizes the Lever Movement system for injury recovery. Quotes “When the website started up for TransRockies, I started getting inquiries and people were asking, ‘what gear are you wearing? What are you doing? You’re doing a lot of mileage to gear up for this challenge, what type of gear are you using?’ So I started talking about it. And as I started talking about it, people cared less about what training I was doing and more about the gear I was wearing. So I learned really quickly, like, ‘Oh, if I want attention, talk about the gear.’ And so it quickly became a very gear-centric place to be.” (10:44 | Thomas Neuberger) “When you’re running, it’s not necessarily an expensive sport, but if you want all the gear and stuff, it gets expensive pretty quick.” (11:24 | Thomas Neuberger) “We’re in a really nice moment in the running shoe industry where there’s a lot of good product out there.” (23:56 | Thomas Neuberger) Links Connect with Thomas Neuberger: https://www.instagram.com/tfneuberger/ https://www.instagram.com/believeintherun/ https://believeintherun.com/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

Whether you’re an aspiring runner or a seasoned sports fan, this episode provides a thorough insight into overcoming obstacles and pursuing excellence in high-stakes competition. Quotes “I’m basically preparing for the Olympics as if I’m already qualified.” (07:51 | Mike Foppen) “We’re always balancing on a thin line when it comes to injuries and training, but I think I didn’t go too far, I would say. I just took a lot of risks last year. And it’s part of the game.” (11:35 | Mike Foppen) “I think for rehabilitation, it was mostly the exercises that really helped my tendons. So you got to build up, of course. I started doing alternative training first, I think, so not directly running. I really wanted three full weeks of running then started building that up with the lever. Actually, that’s where the lever got involved as well. I borrowed it from another runner I know. That really helped me in the build up by just increasing the mileage, but being able to keep it under control.” (24:14 | Mike Foppen) Links Connect with Mike Foppen: https://www.instagram.com/mikefoppen/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…

“Going into Ultraman, it was making it to the starting line healthy and proving to myself that I could do big things healthy. I did that and I succeeded,” says Ultraman athlete Katie Solbo. In this episode, the seasoned triathlete discusses the extreme challenges of competing in one of the world's most grueling endurance races. Recently securing the second female spot in an Ultraman event—just minutes behind the leader—Katie delves into her meticulous preparation and race performance. She shares details of her specialized training regimen for the Ultraman. After overcoming multiple foot surgeries, Katie adopted a training approach focused on low-intensity, high-volume workouts, advised by her coach. This strategy incorporated the use of the Lever to minimize impact and aid recovery crucial for building endurance and managing fatigue in such a demanding race. Katie also explores broader strategies for tackling extreme physical challenges, discussing sustainable training methods and the mental toughness required for ultra-endurance events. Her insights are valuable for athletes considering an Ultraman race, emphasizing the importance of consistent, gentle training and thorough mental preparation for formidable competitions. Quotes “I got into this sport just by the allure of fitness itself. And then I was like, ‘Oh, I wonder what it looks like to do all three together.’ And so I fell face first in the triathlon. And my why has been geared towards achieving bigger and greater things for me. So whether that was a world championship or a PR and like an everyday role out of bed, it’s like I want to be faster, better, stronger. That’s my ultimate goal.” (03:09 | Katie Solbo) “Going into Ultraman, it was making it to the starting line healthy and proving to myself that I could do big things healthy. I did that and I succeeded.” (03:38 | Katie Solbo) “The biggest lesson I learned—and I definitely took that into the Ultraman Florida training—was that the lever is my best friend. For my body, for the way my muscles recover, for my propensity of injury, I needed to put much more emphasis on staying on the lever than having outdoor miles. The importance was just there for me.” (12:28 | Katie Solbo) “I don’t think Ultraman is unattainable for anyone. If you are dedicated and you have a couple years of just consistent training under your belt. Because when it comes down to it, I look back, I relied so heavily on years of consistent training to allow me to get to the finish line. And that’s what it takes.” (30:31 | Katie Solbo) Links Connect with Katie Solbo: https://www.instagram.com/tri_kat23/ https://www.instagram.com/levermovement/ https://www.instagram.com/bradmiles/ https://levermovement.com/ Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm…
