Law of Repetitive Motion
by Carson Boddicker on Feb 25th, 2009
I=NF/AR That's the Law of Repetitive Motion. Injury equals the number of repetitions (N) times the force (F), divided by amplitude (A) times rest (R). This formula can be used in numerous ways to help improve program design for runners. You see, the key is to minimize the damage of NF and maximize AR. Unfortunately, too few runners take heed to this advice on their road back to fitness following a running injury. Sure, they may reduc...Read More » Tags

It can, without a doubt, make a huge difference in preventing injury and keeping the body functioning at a high level. However, there seems to be a tendency to think that all a person needs in the event of an injury ...Read More » Tags

While some athletes have the tendency to get mad and spend their "8-10 weeks" waiting for their injuries to heal, the real athletes find solutions that will allow them to keep improving despite being sidelined from specific run training. Of course, running...Read More » Tags

The Glue That Holds It Together
by Carson Boddicker on Feb 2nd, 2009
I recently had a conversation with Mike Robertson that made me look at volumes I would prescribe in the weight room. Long ago, I used to say that I saw no need for any distance runner to go above a 6 rep set in the weight room, and by and large I still believe it to be a reasonable system. This was to keep the work highly neural and to minimize the chance of hypertrophy. However, Mike made the point that people sometimes fail to recognize t...Read More » Tags
