Jay Dicharry and Tina Muir: Strength for Runners 2017/02/06 Encore Presentation

Coach Tina interviews Jay Dicharry in 2017.


 Jay is a renowned expert in biomechanics and physical
therapy and is also the author of Anatomy for Runners. In this
episode, he challenges us to reevaluate parts of our accepted,
conventional training and running wisdom.


 He does a great job of deconstructing clinically complex
concepts into easily understandable ideas and examples. He breaks
down things like Strength Training versus Power Training and the
differences between joint limitation or blockage, shortened
tissues, stiffness / sticky tissues, and dynamic mobility.


 Our conversation covered a lot of ground and included many
additional resources as noted by the links below. This may very
well be an episode that you will want to listen to multiple times
to explore these and evaluate what changes you may want to
integrate into your own personal program.
Here are some of the topics we’ll discuss
today: 

How biomechanic training can help Pre-Hab or prevent
injuries.

Biomechanics fact vs. fiction and the ongoing critical
evaluation of prior assumptions.

How to leverage strength training to improve your running
while reducing your volume.

How to evaluate a potential strength coach or options if you
don’t have access to one.

Risk / Reward balance of using different types of shoes for
training / racing.

Jay’s Mobility / soft-tissue work philosophy.

The difference between ‘stretching’ and ‘dynamic mobility’
and which you should do before a run.

Quotes by Jay:

“There’s still the folks out there saying ‘Running is going to
kill you and you need to stop’.”


“I don’t like being the person paving the way; I like being the
person helping people.”


“ ‘What’s the ONE thing to do?” and the reality is that life
isn’t that simple, right? If it was, then nobody would have
problems.”


“There is very good research out there to show that running does
NOT make you strong. Running efficiency DOES improve when you
improve the way that you carry yourself.”


“At the end of the day, the runners who are serious find a way to
get in the weight room. The runners I work with, the people I’ve
introduced to this, I don’t know any of them who have STOPPED
doing this at all even from a novice up to an elite level.”


“The goal is to build a running-specific plan to RUN better, not
just to lift more weight in the gym.”


“If it’s not improving running economy and making your body more
robust in terms of injury reduction, then you shouldn’t be doing
it.”


“If you’re a soccer player and you’re more accurate in shooting
goal with your right foot, that’s fine, right? But, when you run
both legs have to show up.”


“I’m not looking to train a muscle; I’m looking to train a
movement.”
