    Today on the podcast is a man who is a leader in his field of work and making the best in the world even better. 


    His name is Paul Mackinnon, and he's known for working with athletes like Galen Rupp and many BTC athletes.  


    For some background on Paul, he lived a sporting life as a semi-professional hockey player for 15 years, playing in Australia and Europe, allowing him access to high-performance programs, athletes, and coaches around the world. Since retiring, he has developed The Balanced Runner coaching business to help athletes. The philosophy was developed largely by Lex Anderson in Canberra and further refined by Paul over close to a decade of practicing as a professional running technique coach. 


    In today's episode, we go through Paul's work and answer some of the most commonly asked questions in regard to running form and biomechanics. 


    This episode was awesome, and a privilege to pick the brain of someone who is stellar in their field of work.
