2024 HiTOPS Princeton Half Marathon

 

Ronald Lavine, DC (askdrlavine.com) Presents

 

Control the forces of vertical landing and lateral shift to run more efficiently, prevent injuries, and gain speed.

 

When you run, you place a huge, repetitive vertical load on your feet, knees, hips and low back. 

 

That’s already a big challenge for your muscles and joints. 

But that’s not all your body has to deal with. You’re also shifting side to side, as you alternately land on the right and left foot. The lateral shift action challenges the sacroiliac joints, piriformis muscle, hip joint, and iliotibial tract.

Almost all of the overuse injuries that plague runners are due to inadequate control of these two types of biomechanical force. 

Don’t wait for a problem to emerge — be proactive. Join me for an hour-long workshop, sponsored by HiTOPS in November.

You’ll gain an understanding of proper alignment and the patterns of muscle activation that support it. You’ll also learn some simple strengthening exercises to shore up the weak links in these kinetic chains.

You’ll run more efficiently, with less chance of injury and increased speed.

This program is free of charge to the first 20 participants to register. Registration invites will be sent to anyone who raises $500 for HiTOPS.
