OVERVIEW In the sport of running, the Physiology of running is just half of the sport. Sure, it is important to know how far, how fast and how often to run, so that you can improve your aerobic and anaerobic conditioning. But the other half of running—the Biomechanics of Running—is equally important.
Created and taught by Coach Mindy, Runditioning™ is a 75-minute private session that works on learning the "how-to" of running by incorporating running-specific tests, movements and exercises to improve running form and prevent injuries. The goal is to feel effortless while running and to be able to run faster with less effort due to more controlled movements. The tests, movements and exercises are performed on functional training equipment, and with your own body weight and work on the following.
