Running biomechanics expert, Jay Dicharry, returns to the show to talk about the upcoming new edition (stay tuned) of his popular book “Running Rewired”. In this conversation, we talk about:

  • why we all need to be students of our sport
  • the specific skills you should have in your running toolbox
  • why you need inputs (not just recovery) to improve the way you’re moving
  • why too much, too fast, too soon isn’t the only pathway to injury
  • the cognitive, associative, and autonomous stages of building muscle memory to move better
  • the relative importance of prehab, precision, and performance workouts

I found Jay to be a very interesting, engaging, and generously informative guest. Be sure to tune in, and if you’re interested in checking out the latest edition of Running Rewired, stay tuned for its release very soon!
