In today’s episode, I chat with my old friend Jeff Vernon, creator of the Trueform Runner, a treadmill designed to improve running form. Talking to Jeff reminded me of the first time I tried the TrueForm. As I recall, it was a somewhat awkward experience with a crowd of people looking on and making me feel self-conscious about my performance. The TrueForm Runner is self-powered, and it was unlike any treadmill I’d ever used before. You need to run with good form and technique to keep it moving, and it really shows up any quirks in your running style. In fact, it’s been called the ‘best lie detector in the gym’ for its ability to expose the flaws in your form.My second experience of using the TrueForm (in private as part of a running course) was much more satisfactory, and I quickly realized what an important tool it is for improving form and turning people into better runners. I believe that the secret to injury-free running is running well, and the TrueForm teaches you how to run at the right pace and in the correct position. What’s more, it dramatically reduces your likelihood of injury.Support the show
