Jonathan Pierce is a doctor of physical therapy, a Stanford All-American in the 3,000m steeplechase, and a former pro runner for Reebok, ASICS, and the Mammoth Track Club. Not only has he competed at the Olympic Trials, he's worked there as a therapist. He's also the founder of NOVOS Athlete in San Diego, a physical therapy and performance center for athletes. Jonathan joins us to discuss his experience working with elite athletes and how they approach the process of staying healthy. We also talk about: The training and mechanical causes of running injuries The role of movement in health and how quality movement is preventative How to determine if you have qualilty movement patterns and how to improve Don't miss our complimentary injury prevention series to learn even more about staying healthy! Thank you Lever! Lever is back as a sponsor and they're giving away a FREE Lever system! Enter today at this link (the giveaway runs through the end of March) and for a bonus entry, follow Lever and Jason on Instagram. Lever attaches to any treadmill and you hook into it like a harness. It effectively makes you lighter, enabling you to run more volume than you normally could with reduced injury risk, or helping you return to running after an injury. Lever allows you to do more running with less risk. So maybe you want to build more mileage, or run hard workouts but you're hesitant because of injury concerns. The pro's have been using Lever for years, letting them get the advantage of more training with fewer injuries. I had the chance to go for a run using Lever and it was deceptively easy to set up and use. All of a sudden, I was running 7min mile pace with the heart rate of 8:30 pace. You can see it in action on our YouTube channel. They're also trusted by physical therapists, where they're commonly used during injury recovery so you can keep running with less load and impact. Go to levermovement.com and use code Strength20 (with a capital S) for 20% off any system . Or, enter their giveaway here. Just don't wait too long - the giveaway only lasts until the end of March.
