Brian, welcome to the show. Thank you. Thanks for having me, guys. I want to ask you this. You're the guy to ask, right? Running. I want to talk to you about running for the average person. So many people will try to improve their fitness in one way, shape, or form, and they'll pick up running. but it's got such a high rate of injury. And we talk about this on the show all the time that people don't appreciate or understand how much of a skill running is. And to add to that, if you look at us and the way we're built, we're actually built to run. We have these big knee joints and we stand up right and we got this muscular foot and these big Achilles tendon. Yet, this got the highest injury rate among most forms of exercise.
So I'd like for you to kind of walk me through how you would take the average person and kind of walk them through and not just run them into fatigue. What do you address first? And how do you get this person to be able to run so they can run to work out without hurting themselves?
Sure, sure. Well, it's interesting. I think, you know, I think one of the biggest things with running an injury is just like it's a volume problem, you know, similar to other aspects of fitness. You know, you just jump in, you dive in. Somebody's going into a 20 mile an hour, you know, 25 or 20 mile a week program and they're not quite ready for it. You know, so I think it's a volume tolerance issue that needs to be kind of micro dosed in to get them ready. So that's kind of at a macro level. You know, you'd want to look at how much running you're doing to start.
