Want to run?

Are we born to run, or do we have to learn how to? Most people take it for granted that they can just start running when they want it.

There are so many running programs out there telling you how much and how far you should run, but not many to tell you how to acually run. There is a reason why we get shin splints, bad knees, bad hips, bad backs (list goes on and on). Then there are the questions of what shoes, does the suface that I run on make a difference, how does my eating and drinking play a role in setting me up for a better run and recovery. What about stretching, what does stretching do for me, before or after or both? There are so many qestions out there, and on Saturday July 31st, I'll do my best to answer them.

I have run since as far back as I can remember. I played soccer like every other Swedish kid, and then I ran track when I got tired of soccer. Running has been a big part of my life, and I worked hard on improving my running form. We all "can" run, the question is can you run properly? If you think that you could benefit from some of my many years of running experience, please join me for a running "talk" on Saturday. I look forward to seeing you at Sports Basement in Sunnyvale.
