Meet Coach Michael

"Lake Twenty-Two, Round 2: The Sequel" was a movie - and that movie felt like a Surrealist Arthurian Legend Fantasy film from the 70's. We had a cloud fall on us. You had to be there. The vibes were High & Ethereal.

Mt. Pilchuck was great. Had a great time w/

story: Jessica! This absolute STUD just shaved TWENTY MINUTES off her best 10k race time, and even more importantly - pain free!!
A few weeks ago, Jessica came to train with me at for a one-off session to workshop some knee pain she had started experiencing during her most recent prep for a race.

It pretty quickly became evident that the underlying cause for her pain wasn't any chronic condition or kinetic chain asymmetry (*whew*) but likely to do with the stride mechanics she was using during her training.

So, we hopped on the treadmill & focused on a couple of important features of low-impact running technique...

1. High heel elevation: really keeping a noticeable gap between her heels and the floor during all phases of her stride.

2. Running "quietly": focusing on forward propulsion from the calves vs the "reach-out-and-land" stride that a lot of people tend to default to.

3. Sashaying: rather than running from the hips down (rigid hips + front-facing torso), letting her hips, waist and chest flow in sequence with the legs.

A few weeks of training later, she not only finished her race without shin splints & knee pain, but with an all-time personal record. Way to go, Jessica!
