Listen "Mile 17: The Upper Body"
Episode Synopsis
Mile 17: The Upper Body
Everyone talks about cadence, footstrike, stride length. No one talks about your shoulders. Or your jaw. Or the way your chest collapses when you’re tired, dragging your breath and form down with it.
This episode is about what happens above the waist.
We’re unpacking Chapter 17 of The Runner’s Paradox: a conversation about structure, not style. Because posture isn’t just about how you look when you run.
It’s about how force travels through you.
It’s about that invisible link between shoulder tension and hip drop.
We’re asking: Is your upper body holding you up, or holding you back?
Get the book at therunnersparadox.com. Remember to run upright, aware, and let your posture do the listening.
