Hi, this is Debbie Boyle's coach at Mojo for Running with episode 83.

Stop the Pounding.

Techniques to help you be light on your feet.

Today we're going to talk about being light on your feet when you run, which is associated

with the very

valuable benefit of spending as little time on the ground as possible. And if you're a 250-pound

man, please do not say to yourself, yeah, that's not going to happen. The fact is, I've run with

very large men who ran completely silently. And I've run with tiny 100-pound women

who pounded the ground so hard they sounded more like a 250-pound man. Most people, of course,

are somewhere in between. But virtually everybody can improve, and that's what we'll try to

accomplish today. I have a couple of techniques for mastering treading lightly,

and I'll explain the several ways that it will improve your running. But first, I've got a

couple of announcements and reminders. The Mojo for Running coaching program is fully operational now.

If you even think you might be interested, please jump over there to mojo for running.com and check

it out. There is a 100% 30-day money-back guarantee, so you really have nothing to lose.

I know most of the listeners to this podcast have been running for a while, but if you're still

working up to that first 10K or half marathon, I think you'll find this program extremely helpful.

Also, if you're like my running friends here, you probably have friends or relatives who are not

runners, but who would like to be and who you would want to see start running, but maybe they've

tried and failed, or they're just a bit intimidated by

the runners they know, or they're super out of shape and just afraid they can't do it.

Please send them over to my beginner, runner, village, podcast, and website.
