In the 3rd episode of THE RUN LAB, host Brendon Ip, a Registered Physiotherapist, Gait Analyst and an avid runner himself, dives into the mindset of a runner and how to start running. 

Along the way, Brendon shares some of the experiences he has had which contributed to his love of the sport and he highlights the 5 principles that help build a healthy and longterm approach to running, 1) Setting goals and defining purpose. 2) Making it EASY, 3) Enjoying the little moments, 4) Celebrating achievements and 5) Consistency. 

"Learn to live for the moments – not the events and activities of your life but for the breaks in between. Learn to love the process of pushing yourself, of hearing the rhythmic pace of your feet striking the asphalt or gasping for air as you race to make a pedestrian light. Learn to love solitude and the last rays of sun as it sets behind the trees or the smile your partner gives you as you both jog along at whatever speed your legs want to. Just learn to love being in the present."

The VERY FIRST episode of THE RUN LAB has launched! The host, Brendon Ip, a Registered Physiotherapist based in Vancouver, British Columbia starts on the journey to create an informative and up-to-date segment breaking down the process and physiology behind running, the most common injuries and the novel ways to treat and correct the imbalances that cause them. 

In this episode, we find out that understanding the mechanics behind running is an absolute must for anyone that wants to improve their performance - including those who are brand new to the sport. 

We also learn that running regimens have to be designed in a way to allow progress and improvement. Brendon also shares his thoughts on how running has influenced his life and how the trait of "Grit" can help a runner excel. 

"And it has even taught me a lot about myself and digging deeper and the ability to set my sights on something and working towards it."

In this episode I'm joined by Lou from The Run Lab who analyses my 3D gait analysis and offers up really valuable tips and advice in helping me convert from a 'Power Racer' (which I was quite pleased to be tagged as) to a 'Quick Stepper'.
I tried the techniques at the Cubert 5 and recorded a lifetime 5 mile PB
The Run Lab also offers an anti-gravity treadmill - I didn't use that but it sounds amazing to run with a lot less weight!
