My obsession with learning to improve run form and efficiency started with my own personal journey. As a triathlete, I felt some frustration when I was trying as hard as I could to run faster, and I'd witness others who would appear to float past me, seemingly running with much more ease than I was. I felt like gravity had a stronger hold on me than it did on some others. What was I missing? I tried running more, running easier, running faster. My fitness improved, but my efficiency didn't. I tried specific strength exercises. I felt stronger, but my run efficiency still didn't improve. I really wanted to find a solution.

It wasn't until I gained a true understanding of how my hips and shoulders were meant to move/function that I finally felt like I was cracking the code. It required simple but specific/consistent work:

~ I improved my breathing patterns, which allowed me to begin letting go of held tension throughout my whole body. Especially in/around my hips.

~ Letting go of that long held tension is like peeling back layers of an onion. The more I let go, the more freedom I felt. And there was always another layer I could let go! That motivates me to keep going.

~ Once I started to open up, movement from my hips and shoulders improved A LOT. This begins a positive cycle.

~ My posture improved when my joints got stacked properly. This allowed connecting muscles to contract and relax properly (the way they were designed to function).

~ From this space I was able to learn a new gait pattern. Moving with length and space is what allows for the floating feeling - moving with momentum on my side instead of against gravity.

Now that I understand this process, I want to share it! What I teach in the Flow Running Course is a systematic approach to letting go of long held tension so that you can move with more freedom. Through this course you'll learn to:

~Improve your breathing patterns

~Improve your posture

~Open up (and strengthen!) your hips

~Move with rhythm and flow

If you're a runner who feels stuck, open your mind and body to the possibiity that you can improve the way you move. The Flow Runningcourse will show you how, step by step.
