    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.
