Welcome to the Runners Connect, Run to the Top Podcast, where it's all about learning from the best minds in the sport

so you can train smarter, stay healthy, and run faster now.

And now your host, Tina Muir.

Hello, this is Tina Muir.

Welcome to the Rands of the Top Podcast.

With the Running Boom that has been going on

for a few years now, we have learned more and more about

running and we've added so many things that we need to pay attention to in order to get the best

out of our running. But are we making things too complicated? My guest today has so much

research and knowledge behind him, but he's encouraging runners to go back to

basics, keep things simple, and focus on what really matters,

those things that do not keep changing as new research comes out.

As runners, this can be tough for us as we tend to go overboard when we learn about something

that might help us.

But hopefully today's interview shows you what really matters and how an outside opinion

from a coach could be just what you need to get the most out of your running,

rather than just following along with the latest and greatest information.

I know I can be guilty of that too.

My guest today is Greg Leaman.

Greg is a physiotherapist and chiropractor

and at the start of his career who was one of only two students to receive a graduate scholarship to train with Professor Stuart McGill in his occupational

biomechanics laboratory. Pretty prestigious. He was part of over 20 peer-reviewed papers in manual therapy and the exercise biomechanics field.
