learn to Run the way your dna intended
Some studies estimate as high as 80% of runners get injured in a given year! 80%! Why? It’s just the person and the ground??
Exactly. At its simplest, optimizing running performance is about two things: efficiency and consistency. Having an astute understanding of your relationship with gravity and the ground is at the root of optimizing those qualities. This series teaches an in-depth, running-specific version of the Movement Intelligence principles of body awareness, body control, and biomechanical optimization.

More about Abel
As collegiate pitcher, Abel’s primary job (when not pitching) was distance running to train endurance capacity. It was then where he began to develop a love and appreciation for running. Prior to going to physical therapy school, Abel had a failed attempt of training for a marathon due to recurring knee pain. However, in 2019, with the help of a refined and well-rounded approach to movement training, Abel reestablished the marathon goal and completed the Vancouver Marathon in sub 4 hours.
