Skilled Running: balancing everything.
As a coach I've seen good success with teaching pose running. On the whole the group is running with good posture, pulling their feet instead of pushing, and landing on their fore-feet. However, now that they've progressed passed the basics, new problems are popping up. Primarily what I see is either people pulling their feet up way too high or people dramatically slowing their cadence as they slow their pace. To help address this I made the video below. Please note that if you are still new to skilled running then this video might be a bit difficult to follow. If this is the case I recommend that you seek out professional … [Read More...]
Workout in Glacier National Park
At the end of summer I decided to pay my brother a visit in Montana. In addition to hanging out in the hip bohemian town of Missoula we also headed up to Glacier national park for some camping. We had a great time hiking around the trails but we also wanted to do a couple of quick workouts. One of these had us hike up to a beautiful lake surrounded by waterfalls and (supposedly) grizzly bears. Inspired by our quadrapedal predators we decided to incorporate bearcrawls into the combine. However, instead of doing the same old crawl-down-crawl-back routine I wanted to incorporate a crawl that required a bit more precision and skill. So, we … [Read More...]

Workout on the dunes.
This past weekend I traveled to L.A. to attend the Ancestral Health Symposium. Unfortunately, because of this I had to put my MovNat experiment on hold (however I did get to hang out with Cliff Harski). Although I wasn’t able to complete and film any of the MovNat inspired workouts I had drawn up, I was able to quickly set up a workout while at Manhattan beach. My good friend and fellow coach James Dang tipped me off to the huge sand-dune they have there. Needless to say I was sold and we headed out of the city. We made sure to get there extra early because we wanted to relax after working out. Turns our we should … [Read More...]
