A little progress each day really can add up to big results. 💪

When I give patients exercises or “homework,” I understand that life is busy—and fitting them in every single day may not always be realistic.

The goal isn’t perfection. Start small. Choose something manageable, even if it’s only five minutes or a few repetitions. Once that feels achievable, you can gradually build from there.

Consistency doesn’t mean doing everything perfectly every day. It means continuing to come back to it whenever you can. Those small efforts may not feel significant in the moment, but over time, they can make a big difference in how you move, feel and function.

Small steps still count. Keep going. 💚

🏃 RUNNING TIP #5: DON’T NEGLECT STRENGTH & RECOVERY

Want to become a better runner? Don’t just run.

💪 Strength training is one of the best complements to your running routine. Building stronger muscles — along with more resilient tendons, ligaments and joints — helps prepare your body to handle the repetitive demands of running.

Your strength training can also change depending on your running goals, whether you’re training for shorter distances, longer endurance runs or simply running recreationally.

And equally important? RECOVERY. 😴

Prioritize:
• Rest days
• Quality sleep
• Good nutrition
• Time between hard training sessions

Training provides the stimulus. Recovery is when your body gets the chance to repair, adapt and come back stronger.

Run. Strengthen. Recover. Repeat. 🔁

🏃 RUNNING TIP #4: THINK TRAIN TRACKS + LEAN FROM YOUR ANKLES

Two simple cues can make a big difference in your running form.

🚂 Think “train tracks,” not a tightrope.

A crossover stride happens when your feet cross toward the opposite side of your body with each step — almost like you’re trying to run along a tightrope.

Instead, imagine your feet travelling along two separate train tracks, maintaining some space between them.

Then think about a slight forward lean from your ankles — not your waist.

Running is essentially a controlled forward fall. Keeping your weight slightly forward allows your body to move efficiently while your feet naturally “catch” you with each stride.

Simple cues. Better mechanics. Stronger running. 👟

🏃 RUNNING TIP #3: STOP OVERSTRIDING

Where does your foot land when you run?

Ideally, you want your foot landing relatively underneath your body — not reaching way out in front of you.

When your leg is extended and nearly straight as your foot hits the ground, it can act like you’re “putting the brakes on” with every step. 🛑

Over thousands of steps, that can increase the stress placed on your body and may contribute to issues like hamstring irritation and strains.

Instead of thinking about reaching farther with every stride, focus on quicker, more comfortable steps underneath your body.

Sometimes a longer stride isn’t a better stride. 👟

👣 2. INCREASE YOUR CADENCE

Cadence = how many steps you take per minute. A general target for many runners is around 170–180 steps per minute, although there’s no single perfect number for everyone.

🎵 Try running to music with a BPM that matches your target cadence. A slightly quicker cadence can reduce overstriding and the load with each step.

🏃 TIP #1: START SLOW

One of the biggest mistakes new runners make is doing too much, too soon.

Start with a few runs per week and gradually increase your distance as your body adapts. A good starting point is adding roughly 2 km per week or every other week, depending on how you’re feeling.

Gradual progression gives your muscles, tendons and joints time to adapt and can help reduce common running issues like shin, knee and hip pain.

Consistency > doing too much too soon.
