Running is more than a sport; it is a fundamental human gait. As a follow-up to the full-day Balanced Runner workshop offered on Tuesday, we’ll look at the basic mechanics and the varied forms of running using images, video footage, and movement, with particular attention to the differences between walking and running. Then we’ll work in pairs to develop skills for observing running and strategies for creating lessons to help runners, other athletes who run, and anyone who would like to have access to this particularly thrilling aspect of our biological inheritance.

Participants should bring appropriate footwear for a small amount of running.

You must attend Part One in order to attend Part Two.
