How New Data Can Help You Run Better: Grant Trewartha and Anna Kosciuk

Can new tech in your shoe change the way you run for the
better?   


We are all used to our watches telling us how fast (or slow) we
are, counting our heartbeats, our footsteps,  or even
telling us how much recovery we need (or trying to anyway!)


But now there is technology that can tell us even more.  New
wearables can give us some clues to our own unique running form
so we can better understand where we can improve.


My guests today are here to tell you all about it.


Dr Grant Trewartha is the Head of Biomechanics at the wearable
technology company NURVV.  His research into the technical
aspects of endurance running helped shape the development of a
unique shoe insert called NURVV Run. Prior to his time at NURVV,
Grant spent 16 years at University of Bath, leading significant
research about injury prevention for rugby players as well as
research on the biomechanics of sprinting and tendon mechanics
during running. 


Anna Kosciuk is a Sport Scientist and a Footwear specialist and
is also a part of Biomechanics team at NURVV.  Anna’s
expertise is in learning how we can prevent running-related
injury risk factors and maximize running performance through
exercise and footwear. Prior to NURVV, she spent 4 years working
in a specialist footwear lab where she performed detailed running
gait analyses to match runners with the most perfect pair of
running shoes based on their individual motion
biomechanics. 


So we get into the nitty gritty about shoes, running form, and
how wearable technology works and where it’s headed in the
future.  Tons of great info in this one.


And in case you are wondering, no,  we are not sponsored by
NURVV and I have never tried the product.  I just think that
this kind of tech is interesting and could be very relevant to
helping runners become better without having to go to a fancy
lab.  But I did reach out to see if I could snag a discount
code if you are interested in trying it:

This week's show brought to you by: 


Perform from the Amino Company. Perform is an amino acid
based formulation that I simply add to my water bottle during my
run. It tastes great and is easy on my stomach. 


Clinical studies have shown that Perform helps improve
endurance, reduce fatigue, and increases muscle protein synthesis
so you recover faster after the run. Check out the research

If you’re interested in learning  more and giving Perform
a try, we’ve got a special offer for you where you can save 30%
by using the code RC30. Just head to:
