Stop Chasing Skinny Episode #49
The One Thing You Need to Know About Running with David Weck
Learn this technique ONE TIME and move better for the rest of your life.
David Weck is the inventor of the BOSU Ball. You know… that blue half-dome you see EVERYWHERE and probably even own yourself. David has gone on to invent other game-changing pieces of equipment and has been studying running technique in a way most of us study our social media. A lot.
I had the honor and privilege of being interviewed at the same time as David on the local ESPN 
Radio show, Live Well San Diego. I just had to see if he would share his knowledge of running with the listeners of the Stop Chasing Skinny Podcast. Listen to this week’s episode on the topic of the Weck Method. Very few guests have left me speechless, but I was so blown away by all of the valuable information David shared with us, all I could say was, WOW! It’s that good.
I’ve been hosting this podcast for over 2 years now and have always focused on working smarter for a more sustainable healthy lifestyle. Many of you, listeners and clients, are women who have either sustained overuse injuries from running (improper form/too many miles plus improper form), or just felt like running wasn’t getting you to you fitness goals (again, a lot of improper form… shuffling along). I thought this would be an awesome opportunity for David to educate us on how we can re-incorporate running the right way.
Many listeners of the Stop Chasing Skinny Podcast are just getting started on their fitness journeys and will most likely turn to running because it is simple in terms of equipment, environment, and the added benefit of socializing. This is a great opportunity to be educated on how to get started the right way so you can keep doing it. It is heartbreaking to hear runners who are no longer able to run because they keep getting injured.

Episode Topics:
☀️ All about proper form. I would put money on the fact that many listeners are hearing about running form for the first time right here on this podcast. Could you tell us why running form is so important?
☀️ For those who HAVE heard the phrase “proper running form”, what would you like to tell them about what we’ve been hearing? (Why they should NOT be following the falling forward method, etc.)
☀️ What if someone listening gave up running due to injuries or pain? How would they learn a whole new method that could get them back to running?
☀️ What advice would you give to someone who is just getting started in running or parents who want to give their kids the best foundation?
☀️ The Weck Method… you have a really great running clinic coming up here in San Diego in January. Could you tell us about that? What else do you have going on these days? I keep saying the BOSU Ball because everyone and their mother is familiar with that awesome invention, but you have so much more.
