Running Economy and Foot Strike Pattern
When I first caught the title of this ‘study’ my initial reaction was add it to the massive pile of backlogged articles that I need to comment on! I have litigated the running economy and foot strike and shoe type enough times: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here). However, this ‘study’ was different as it […] Continue reading
Relevant Gems from the 2016 ACSM Meeting
The American College of Sports Medicine annual meeting in Boston has just come to a close and as I bemoaned about a year ago, I did not get to it, yet again. One day I will go. I do, however devour the abstract books each year as there are always some gems. Continue reading

The effect of ‘energy boost’ footwear on running economy
The energy boost running shoes from Adidas came to the market a few years ago to mixed commentary. Adidas were cautious what they claimed about the shoe, but bench testing did show the the material did provide a better ‘energy return’ than a typical running shoe material. Continue reading

The Effect of Footwear on Running Performance
I have to be honest and say I getting a little bored with the running economy stuff as I have covered the studies on it so many times and its gets harder to rewrite about the same thing again and re-litigate the same issues again. Continue reading

Genetics and Running Economy
The cause of an overuse injury in running is that the cumulative load on the tissues is beyond what the current state of the tissues can tolerate, so it breaks. Historically the focus has always been on the cumulative load and its only been more recently that the focus has been on the state of the tissues to take the loads Continue reading
The importance of joint moments in running injury risk and running economy
Back from a holiday and was planning on getting in back into the routine of posting and was planning on writing something totally different today and then the study below turned up. It was not a study on runners and was not on running (it was on walking), so my title for this post is a bit misleading, but I think the study is informing. The study was about joint moments and their differences between the left and right side. Continue reading

Better running economy with softer shoes
There have been an explosion of running economy papers in the last few years. I have reviewed many of them (and there are a few more to come when time allows). The results are somewhat mixed and the data is not as clear as the rhetoric and propaganda would have had you believe. Continue reading

Effect of Pose/Chi type running instruction on running economy
I do get a little tired of the running economy issue and foot strike pattern for a couple of reasons: Its been done to death (I have covered it here , here , here , here , here , here and here ) and the fan boys get upset with me because the research which was not even done by me does not agree with what they have been preaching … go figure . Now we have another study that looked at kinematic and running economy changes following instruction similar to the Pose and/or Chi running method: A novel running mechanic’s class changes kinematics but not running economy Craighead, Daniel; Lehecka, Nick; King, Deborah L. Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research; 14 April 2014 A novel method of running technique instruction, Midstance to Midstance Running (MMR), was studied to determine how MMR affected kinematics and running economy of recreational runners Continue reading
