The Science of Running | Insights from a Clinical Biomechanist
Wednesday, 22 January, 2025

In this week’s episode Stuart had the opportunity to meet with a clinical biomechanist and physical therapist with a PhD in bio mechanics, Irene Davis. She was previously at Harvard medical school and founded the Spalding National Running Center, and she is now at the school of physical therapy and rehab sciences at the University of South Florida. You could say she really knows her stuff! So join these two as they discuss, from an expert point of view, the science of running and foot health, and topics such as running shoes, minimal shoes, orthotics, etc. Irene’s background 2:45Starting from the beginning 5:00Why there are different categories of shoes 15:30Carbon plates 25:10Gait assessment and transition 38:55Weaknesses found 47:15“We do isometrics, we do concentric, we do eccentrics, we do them with our knees bent and our knees straight.
