#69 - Shave Minutes Off Your HYROX Time - Running Form Masterclass with Myles Rawson AKA findyourstridecoach - INCLUDES LIVE FORM ANALYSIS

09 Jun 2025

Description

My guest today is Myles Rawson aka @findyourstridecoach. Myles is a UK-based running coach and movement specialist who works closely with athletes to improve their running form. He’s also a mentee of world-renowned movement coach Shane Benzie, and brings a fascia-focused approach to posture and performance.In this episode, we dive into Myles’ journey from rugby injuries to obsessively researching biomechanics, and how his work with Shane transformed his understanding of form. We talked about how poor posture could silently be ruining your HYROX time, why barefoot shoes are a non-negotiable, and the huge role your fascia and nervous system play in efficient running.We also got into a live video analysis of myself and my friends Lucy Jackson-Jones and Jade Booth (PFRM Coaching), which is packed with value! Whether you’re chasing a sub-60 or just want to run pain-free, there’s a lot here for you.Hope you enjoy my conversation with Myles Rawson.I'm so excited to tell you about my first ever sponsor Bear Bar, who make the highest quality shower soaps.
