Show Notes
James doesn't look like the "typical" runner - he's 6'6" and 250 pounds. A former professional rugby player, James has a degree in Sport Rehabilitation and is fully insured member of the British Association of Sport Rehabilitators and Trainers (BASRaT).
He's the founder of Kinetic-Revolution and has an ongoing fascination with the functional biomechanics of running (in other words, how you move while running).
In this far-reaching discussion, we talk about quite a few issues:
- Should overweight runners be more worried about injury?
- Is gaining weight more important for injury risk than being consistently overweight?
- Does training for weight loss differ than training for a race? How?
Enjoy my conversation with James (and don't miss the announcement at the end of the show!).
