If You Are Gonna Run – Do It Right!
Wanted to pass this on from our friend and colleague, Dr. Brett Coapland. He and Dr. Peter Larson will be conducting a workshop at NHTI this Saturday August 4th, entitled “Running For Life: Strategies to Help You Stay Healthy, Avoid Injuries and Run Strong.”
If you are a runner (or want to be), take advantage of these two experts dropping some knowledge bombs and setting you up for success.
Topics to be covered include:
By Pete Larson
– Why We Should Run
– Running Injuries: Why They Happen
– Choosing a Running Shoe
– Running Form: Foot Strike and Stride
By Brett Coapland
– Muscle Imbalances: How They Contribute to Injury and Performance

It’s not often the opportunity rolls around to learn from two world-class experts, so lace the sneaks up and run on down!
