I talk with Dr Kim Hebert-Losier. An associate professor, biomechanist and physiotherapist out of The University fo Waikato. You can see her profile here.
Some topics discussed:
- running as rehab
- her Calf App to evaluate plantar flexion strength and its potential relevance to clinical practice
whether body weight training, as opposed to heavy resistance training, can improve running economy (Kim was involved in a paper that showed this!)
- whether you need to bend the knee to appropriately target the soleus (hint - you don’t but there are some caveats)
- super shoes and running economy
- running technique and running economy
