Summary

Today on the podcast is a man who is a leader in his field of work and making the best in the world even better.

His name is Paul Mackinnon, and he's known for working with athletes like Galen Rupp and many BTC athletes.

For some background on Paul, he lived a sporting life as a semi-professional hockey player for 15 years, playing in Australia and Europe, allowing him access to high-performance programs, athletes, and coaches around the world. Since retiring, he has developed The Balanced Runner coaching business to help athletes. The philosophy was developed largely by Lex Anderson in Canberra and further refined by Paul over close to a decade of practicing as a professional running technique coach.

In today's episode, we go through Paul's work and answer some of the most commonly asked questions in regard to running form and biomechanics.

This episode was awesome, and a privilege to pick the brain of someone who is stellar in their field of work.

0:15.0	2B4 is the right product for you.
0:17.0	2B4 is blackcurrant powder, and black currants are antioxidant berries grown in New Zealand.
0:21.8	Studies have shown that consuming them regularly improves endurance by increasing blood flow and removing lactic acid.
0:27.4	It's used by professional running team Tinman Elite as well as teams in the NFL, NBA, and the NCAA.
0:33.1	There was one study that showed that using 2B4 consistently can improve your athletic performance by 4.6%.

1:27.8	episode because I have a very special guest. I actually had the privilege of meeting with him and
1:32.3	working with him a little bit in Orlando when I was down there for the trials. His name is
1:36.3	Paul McKinnon. He's also known as the balanced runner. I'm honestly not quite sure how I would
1:41.6	describe Paul's work. He's just incredibly wise and intuitive
1:45.4	about biomechanics and running for him. He actually currently works with Galen Rupp and has
