Run to the Top Podcast | The Ultimate Guide to Running
Sports:Running
Laura Rutterford joins Run To The Top to discuss several important topics within our community.
We lead with her experience with hip dysplasia and the steps that she took through childhood and early adulthood to get to a point where she had near-perfect running form and the ability to train for and race half marathons.
After that, we get into her professional background as a physiotherapist and some of the insights she’s gained working with running-related clients to rehab various muscles, joints, posture, and overall movement issues.
Then we get into some of the essential exercises she recommends to improve form for endurance athletes and we conclude with her interest in runner-focused pilates.
This was a knowledge-packed episode coupled with touching, inspirational background stories that I think you’ll enjoy.
