What you get
|
FACEBOOK
One of the most powerful aspects of this membership platform is the private facebook group. We are currently 200 members strong consisting of an international, interdisciplinary group of professionals, who share a passion for all things running and endurance training . Everyone in the group is upbeat, supportive, and remarkably active. In addition to serving as a hub for discussion and exchanging ideas, the facebook group has also become a powerful network and resource that allows members to reach out or help others connect with the appropriate provider or specialist. Several times every week, Chris, Joel, and Nathan go live discuss various clinical and coaching pearls specific to working with runners and triathletes. |

LESSON PLANS
Every month I will take members through a lesson plan or presentation on a selected topic related to running while opening up the floor for a short period of time for questions thereafter. Example topics will include but not be limited to the following: evaluation and assessment considerations, exercise prescription, manual interventions, footwear considerations, running analysis, program design, and clinical reasoning. In the event that you are unable to attend the presentation in realtime, you can always go back to watch as they will all be archived and readily available. |
|
EXERCISE VIDEO TUTORIALS
Most folks in the online community know me for the silent videos that I’ve posted over the past several years. The primary reason that I’ve kept the videos silent is to make it easy for folks to share them with their colleagues and clients while plugging in their own verbiage. While the videos often seem completely random, they each serve a specific purpose, which I will elaborate on as well as how they fit into the rehab and performance domains. The bottom line is that running has a specific and predictable set of performance demands that we should be able to prepare athletes for. |

RUNNING GAIT ANALYSIS
It’s important to watch runners run. You’d be surprised how often clinicians neglect performing a running analysis before discharging runners from their care. Over the past few years, a wealth of research has emerged that helps us better understand the running gait. In this section, we teach you a simple and practical, evidence-based framework to help you demystify running gait analysis using “The S’s of Running Analysis.” We'll also share several cases using this approach to see how things shake down in the clinic and on the track with patients and clients, respectively. |
|
Q&A SESSIONS
Every month I will be conducting Q&A session for members to pose questions and have them answered in real time. These will be conducted through google hangout so others can join. They will also be recorded in case you are unable to attend the live session. This way you can either kick back and listen, throw questions at me, or simply tune in later. Any question is fair game. |
What Others are saying...
The Runner’s Zone is more than just a learning resource. Chris, Joel, and Nathan have built an excellent community of clinicians with many different areas of expertise which lends to great group discussions, networking opportunities, and review of the literature. Chris, Joel, and Nathan provide us with weekly clinical pearls via facebook live which has been a great resource if you are short on time. The Runner’s Zone doesn’t stop there though! It is filled with lesson plans and video tutorials, which help tie various concepts together while refining one’s clinical reasoning skills. I look forward to all the learning opportunities that await!

The Runner's Zone is like a never ending continuing ed. I didn't know how much I didn't know about running until I joined. It has been a tremendous help in improving my ability to help patients accomplish their goals, both runners and non-runners alike.

The Runner’s Zone has become my “Go To” place for invaluable running (and triathlon) related clinical and performance insights.
-ALEX EDWARD | Chiropractor | Midwest Rehab Institute
The Runner's Zone is more than a website for runner's. It's a group of athletes and clinicians who wish to further themselves through cold hard data, complimented with warm awesome people who help sift through it and break it down. They also help dismiss all the ridiculousness that continues to get posted on the web each day with the same objective and friendly approach. (bonus sentence if i was allowed) There is no question I'm experiencing better outcomes since becoming a member.
