Running Form and Biomechanics Consultation
Ultrarunning, and therefore durability, begins and ends with being fit. It is about conditioning your physiological engine.
As such, there is an ideal progression from frequency to duration to intensity.
But, at any stage, this can be compromised by less-than-ideal technique, which leads to injury, to frustration, to low efficiency, to ineffective economy and to unnecessary DNFs. Everything that is in stark contrast to what durability is all about.

Your body is your performance instrument. Knowing how to use your instrument - whether you are a Formula 1 driver, a Tour de France cyclist, a concert violinist with a Stradivarius under your chin, or an ultrarunner - is the key to performance.
As an ultrarunner, technique means mastery of:
- the 3 phases of running gait
- the 8 essential components of form
- the Spinal Engine model
In short, durability is born of elasticity.

It is more about capitalizing on your own individuality and perception than you might think.
