Coaches Corner
Detecting Flaws in Your Form

Is there a lot of vertical movement when you run? 


Are your feet loud on the pavement?


Do you twist your arms across the front of your body?


If you look down while running can you see your ankle out in front of your knee.

Running is just like every other sport!  Golfers work on their swing.  Soccer players work on the fundamentals.  They practice.  You have to practice correct form and strengthen areas of weakness. 

IN MARCH - Join us on Wednesday nights at 6:00PM (before our 6:30PM group run) for a strengthening routine and dynamic warmup! 

Let the coaches at RunWell analyze your form and gait to detect areas of inefficiency and possible causes of injury. 

HAPPY RUNNING!
Recliner to Runner 5K Training Program Spring Kickoff!

 

 

Our bodies are made to run!...as evidenced by the length of our legs, the shock absorption in our feet, our ability to tap into stored fat for fuel...so that we can run farther! 

 

This is how our forefathers hunted, gathered food, and fled danger.  Think back to your childhood; it was the most natural movement on the playground! 

 

Let's take running back!

TECUMSEH TRAIL MARATHON RECAP
For years, I wanted to run this trail marathon.  This would be my year!  Tecumseh Trail is a beautiful wooded trail in Yellowwood State Forest in Bloomington, Indiana.  Normally, this is a point to point trail marathon, but the melting snow and ice, made it difficult to get supplies to the aid stations.  Therefore, race officials were forced to reroute the course to a 4 mile stretch, followed by three 6-mile loops and then 4 miles back.  

We sure picked the right year!
