Key takeaways
- Prioritize movement quality over mileage — efficiency reduces injury.
- Strength + mobility are supplements to running; start with bodyweight and add load slowly.
- Short, consistent sessions (5–10 minutes) are more achievable and more likely to stick than hour-long routines.
- Use gait analysis, weekly check-ins, and guided drills for faster, safer progress.
- An open mind and 30 days of focused practice will often rewire movement and restore pain-free running.
