How to Run Faster & Avoid Injury

Tips for running!

Coach’s Corner – Episode 07

Coach Shawn Gerber of Beyond Endurance, holistic running methodologies, injury prevention, and strength training integration for athletic longevity

  • Running Injury Prevention Strategies
    Injuries frequently stem from excessive training volume rather than biomechanics alone. Implementing the 10 percent rule for volume increases effectively mitigates these risks.

  • Optimizing Biomechanics and Form
    Modifying foot strike and body lean reduces joint stress while increasing efficiency. Proper posture and diaphragm breathing further enhance power output by improving core stability.

  • Strength Training for Athletes
    Consistent strength training increases tissue capacity and athletic longevity. Prioritizing multi-joint movements and unilateral exercises supports better running mechanics throughout the season.
