The overpronation myth - what running shoe brands will NEVER tell you - with podiatrist Nick Knight

from Trail & ultra running from Wild Ginger Running

The overpronation myth - what the running shoe brands will NEVER tell you - with Nick Knight from NK Active, one of the UK’s leading musculoskeletal and rehabilitation clinics. Nick shares the latest science which clearly states that overpronation is not a 'thing' and it doesn't cause injury. If you have a niggle or an injury it's much more likely to be a result of increasing your training load too rapidly and not doing 18mins of strength work 3 times a week, plus other important training aspects that are often overlooked like sleeping and eating well. Luckily Nick reveals the top 3 things we can do to avoid or reduce injury and the best 3 quick & easy strength exercises. https://nkactive.co.uk/ Original broadcast on YouTube here https://youtu.be/bUerYjf5JfY 00:00 Welcome Nick 01:20 What is overpronation? 08:04 Flat feet? 09:37 Shoe brand myths 15:04 Need insoles? 17:25 High arches & overpronation 21:02 Need stability shoes? 24:35 Banned shoes 26:02 Why trail shoes are neutral 29:18 Top 3 things to avoid injury 46:37 Top 3 strength exercises 53:16 Zero drop shoes? 56:13 Supination & insoles? 58:14 Rehab timescales? 59:47 Find & follow Nick My book, The Ultimate Trail Running Handbook https://amzn.to/3jgKvTy Please like and subscribe here on YouTube https://linktr.ee/ClaireWGR Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/wildgingerrunning/ Support me on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/WildGingerRunning Meet me at Nene Valley trail races https://nenevalleyraces.wordpress.com/ Hosted on Acast.
