This week’s run clinic with Dr. Heather was packed with insights every runner needs. She broke down why strength training is your insurance policy against running injuries—and showed how the right exercises can prevent setbacks before they even start.
Inside the session, Dr. Heather covered:
✅ How repetitive stress from running leads to compensation patterns and injuries
✅ Why IT Band Syndrome, shin splints, and runner’s knee happen—and what exercises actually fix them
✅ The surprising truth about Achilles tendonitis (hint: more calf raises aren’t always the solution)
✅ How hip flexor pain is often linked to weak glutes and core, and which movements restore balance
✅ Why a personalized gait analysis is the missing piece for many runners battling recurring pain
If you’ve ever dealt with tight hips, aching knees, or stubborn shin splints, this replay is a must-watch. You’ll walk away knowing what to do differently in your strength training—and why it matters for your long-term running health.
