An Irishman Abroad

This week’s slightly delayed episode looks at the most deceptively important aspect of running. Subtle problems and changes to a runner’s form can mean the difference between long term injury and PBs. Sonia introduces Jarlath TJ the concept of “chi-running”. Created by Danny Dreyer after suffering a long term injury, Sonia explains that her introduction to the concepts came from another Irish running legend Catriona McKiernan. After examining drills that can activate the essential muscle groups to improve anyone’s running dynamic, we look at why many of us feel trapped with the form we have.    Attempting to change the way we run takes time and one key thing. Sonia explains what that thing is and why even she struggles with it. Jarlath puts your questions to Sonia including one about running while pregnant, is a cheat day essential and what can we do to overcome the cold.  This episode has it all including an update on our next event. There’s even a discussion of the value of potato picking as a youngster.
