How does a recreational or competitive runner know what muscles should be strengthened for injury prevention and peak performance? What exercises work for the running athlete? Are there special tests that can diagnose a strength-related running problem? What is plyometric training, and can it improve running performance? What are the running techniques and drills that can correct improper performance?

Speakers: Ivan Mulligan, PT, DSc, SCS, ATC, CSCS, Assistant Professor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist; and Felix Moreno, SFU Head Track and Field and Cross Country Coach.
This free event (open to students, faculty, staff, and the broader community) is the second in a series that will focus on improving the athletic performance of runners and joggers. We offered a Running Shoe Clinic in September and plan to offer two additional events in this series in the spring. Each session in the series is independent and is not a prerequisite for other sessions.
