From those starting a weight loss journey to ultra-marathon athletes, running is one of the most popular choices of exercise. It’s also one of the most common causes of injury, with over 50 percent of regular runners getting hurt each year.

For our season 2 finale, we explore running.  We tackle a lot from shoe selection, running technique,  overpronation, and can it be fixed? We also discuss runners’ injuries and how to avoid them, the importance of a runner’s upper body, cross-training, issues that affect female runners, and much more.

So let’s start our sprint to the finish of season 2 with today’s Movement Podcast -- powered by FMS.
