If you’re only running and expecting to get better at it, you’re missing out. You’ll simply be getting better at working around your weaknesses rather than truly improving. And if you’re over 40? You’re going to have to do more than just run to keep your bone density, improve muscle mass, and keep your metabolism humming along. Not to mention improve your performance. You might think a little strength training and mobility are the answer. But it’s a lot more nuanced than that. On today’s show, I’ll be talking to one of America’s leading running physical therapists, Jay Dicharry. Jay works with Olympians and other world class runners to improve their biomechanics, performance, and helps them build back after injury. He’s out with the second edition of his book, Running Rewired in which he takes cutting edge research and creates precision workouts any runner can do at home to supercharge their running form. You’ll learn What the biomechanics of running form really is How that informs how you can improve your unique running form, and Why all runners, but especially runners over 40, need to include this type of training in their weekly routine. And don’t worry if you don’t have all the time to train like an Olympian. He promises it won’t take much more time than you’re already doing now. Welcome to the Planted Runner.

Her most informative shows have a freshness, and a connection, to my running/ training experiences that quite simply I’m not finding elsewhere. I highly recommend giving The Planted Runner a listen.” Los Angeleno ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Informative and fun “I really enjoy listening to this podcast. It’s interesting and informative. I’m a new runner and follow a predominantly plant-based diet so it’s a perfect fit.” Piculina Music Credits: Music from Uppbeat
