Many runners quietly worry that they're running "the wrong way," and that their technique is why the same injuries keep coming back. It's a reasonable worry. It's also, according to the science, usually the wrong one.

In this talk, we'll separate myths from evidence. You'll learn which factors actually influence good running technique, and why your form is rarely the real cause of your injuries. We'll also look at what current research says about running more efficiently, so whether you're a casual jogger or training for your next marathon, you'll leave with insights you can actually use.

What we'll cover

• Running efficiency: what the research actually says makes you a more efficient runner
• Running injuries: why your technique is rarely the real culprit, and what usually is
• Improving your technique: which factors genuinely influence good running form
• Understanding the running motion: what's actually happening biomechanically when you run
• Practical training tips you can start using right away
