This is the 22nd in a series of RunSmart videos. The series is on-going, with a new video released on a biweekly basis. These videos complement the material presented in the book “RunSmart: A Comprehensive Approach To Injury-Free Running”. The full series of videos can be found here. A compilation of the first 10 videos will be available on Vimeo as well.
For those of you that are interested in a more interactive learning environment, consider attending a Level One (half day), Level Two (one day), or Level Three (two day) RunSmart program. The Level One program is 4 hours and focuses on basic training principles, running mechanics, and injury prevention. The Level Two program is 8.5 hours and focuses on performance optimization and training program development. The Level Three program is a two day, 15 hour program that includes a comprehensive approach to running injuries. I am currently putting together a 2013 schedule. If you are interested in attending an upcoming session, schedule updates will be posted here and on my newsletter. If you would like to host a session in your community, please contact me.
In this video, I discuss principles and practices. Stephen Covey has put forth the idea of principles, the “why” we do, as contrasted with practices, the “what” we do. This is discussed in the context of run training.
I hope you enjoy the video series. If you would like me to address any specific aspect of the RunSmart approach, drop me an email or add a comment to this article.
