Efficiency Hacks for Runners
Experts provide nine ways to optimize running, both biomechanically and metabolically, for smarter and faster performance.
According to Kate Baird, C.S.C.S., an exercise physiologist, a runner's body is like a race car, requiring an aerodynamic body and a well-humming engine. Biomechanical factors such as stride rate, running form, and footwear are crucial, as well as metabolic factors like aerobic capacity, lactate threshold, and energy sources.
Being the most efficient athlete possible involves focusing on biomechanical factors... and metabolic (a.k.a. conditioning) factors, or what’s happening on the inside or the engine of the car.
