Fall Endurance Runner's Clinic



The Fall Endurance Runner's Clinic, co-sponsored by Nike and The Athlete's Foot, featured an expert panel discussion on the pros and cons of Barefoot Running, and breakout sessions including Running Mechanics, Dynamic Warm-Up, Foam Roller/Myofascial release techniques, Mini-Band Training, Dartfish Video Gait Analysis, and more!












Core development exercises with Elizabeth Evans, PMA, RYT, Pilates conditioning specialist (on left).











The Mini-Band "Monster Walk" for developing proper knee/ankle alignment and hip abduction/external rotation strength, with Dennis Meszler, PT, MPT, SCS (on right).












Using foam roller for myofascial release, to remove adhesions between muscle tissues and fascia, for greater flexibility, strength, and injury prevention, with Elizabeth Fortener PT, MPT (top left).









Wall Sits with Elle Evans, for quadriceps strengthening, and variations for spinal alignment and joint stability.














Dartfish Video Gait Analysis, for high precision performance analysis and movement education and correction. Dartfish reveals functional errors in alignment and movement execution that can be corrected for heightened performance.
