Simon Ward, The High Performance Human Triathlon Podcast
Health & Fitness
In today's show, I’m joined by a man who helps people to run faster, and he calls himself a movement coach.
Shane Benzie has a coaching philosophy that leads him to take an anthropological view of a runner. Shane believes that if we move like a human is designed to move, that will make us a good athlete. To maximise our potential we must take that human movement and turn it into human performance. His coaching is designed to create an intelligent runner that has the correct perception of their movement. It encourages them to see changes in gait as a software change rather than teaching the physical body new tricks.
This is a great conversation that looks at running improvement from a completely different perspective and we chat about a diverse range of topics including:
