We are very fortunate to have access to Athletic Trainers at CRLS. They are a great resource. Making use of the knowledge and support they offer is highly recommend.
Stop by the Athletic Trainers office or see the Contacts page.
Note: Any activity causing pain, distress or injury should be immediately discontinued. Please notify coach asap and consult with medical professional or Athletic trainers as appropriate. The goal is long term health and well being over any short term goals or gains. Materials and references provided here are not a specific endorsement, rather are an informative starting point.
"So what is the lesson from all this? Simple - bad running form hurts your body and slows you down! So while one can argue that running form comes down to individual physiology which in turn determines your bio-mechanics, this does not mean that you can’t improve the way in which you work with what you’ve been given!"

Note: While the discussion of new generation 'supershoes' are not used in Orienteering, so has limited application and we stay with more traditional running light, feet off the ground.
