Fireside Chat with Matt Ferlindes - “The Truth About Perfect Running Form”
Welcome to the Fireside Chat! This series was designed to provide runners and the general population easy to absorb information regarding health & wellness, running mechanics, nutrition, strength training, and injury prevention. As the series progresses, we will cover a myriad of topics and speak with different professionals in the health & running community.
In this 14th edition, we had a great conversation with guest, Matt Ferlindes. Matt is a Physical Therapist & Triathlon Coach in Franklin, Wisconsin and owner of BioEndurance PT & Performance.
With all the information out there regarding “perfect” running form, it’’s professionals like Matt who help us sift through the noise to determine when we've gone too far. Rather than changing your form to run a particular way, we discuss what the research says so you can make the most informed choices for your situation.
In this Fireside Chat, we covered a variety of topics, including…
Background on Matt and his journey as a PT & endurance athlete
A reflection on the current literature regarding running form, including: foot strike, overpronation, & hip drop
Does running cause knee osteoarthritis?
And much, much more!
