Course Description
Healthy Running for medical and fitness professionals focuses on the energetics of running, running skill, injury evaluation and treatment. Content is evidence based with numerous case scenarios, active drills and exercise, and practical workshops to apply concepts.
Day one examines the injured runner, tissue specificity, anatomy, biomechanics and clinical evaluation of mobility and strength. The afternoon workshop assesses running from a clinical perspective, prescription of strength, mobility, and gait cues based on specific findings. Stability, core work, mobility and stretching principles are addressed.
Day two sessions include the anthropologic basis of running, aerobic development, recovery principals and practice, overtraining syndrome, coordination and peaking, nutrition for health and performance, warm up and cool down. The role of footwear on runners is examined, including the evolution of running shoes, design, technology and the relationship to injury. The afternoon workshop addresses strength training, range of motion/mobility and motor function. The course also includes medical issues for runners, including heat illness, cardiac, physiology, and emerging concepts in nutrition for health and performance.
Variations of this course have been presented for Continuing Medical Education at Universities and Sports Performance facilities all over the US and Internationally, the Pentagon, the Andrews Institute in Florida, and at the Sports Science Institute of South Africa. Staff have presented selected course content at over 50 military bases and numerous medical conferences including for AMAA, ACMS, IMSMC and teaching universities internationally.
Target Audience
Primary care physicians, physical therapists, sports medicine and rehabilitation physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, athletic trainers, coaches, and other professionals interested in maintaining and proofing the health of runners.
Locations
Conferences and courses are held throughout the US and worldwide. See Registration page for details.
All proceeds from the conference to benefit our non-profit Eastern Area Health Education Center (EAHEC). EAHEC is the lead organization of Freedom’s Run event series. Our goal is to create a healthier world for the next generation by teaching and influencing policy on food, teaching lifelong healthy movement, appreciation of the power of nature, and empowerment to take ownership of your own health.

Goals & Objectives
After this course, the participant should be able to:
- Discuss the pathophysiological process behind running injuries and the new treatment concepts relating to these pathologies.
- Improve his\her clinical efficiency through a better knowledge of objective diagnostic assessments and their place in the clinical exam of an injured runner.
- Discuss the new theories behind tissue stress, adaptation and preventive stress.
- Recognize the relationship between running biomechanics and the risk of injuries.
- Build a program to help an injured runner return to running using the theoretical principles relating to different energy systems, cross-training and warm-up.
- Discuss the science behind running shoe technology, plantar orthoses, flexibility and strengthening in the prevention and treatment of running injuries.
- Discuss the science and practical application of aerobic development, speed training, and periodization.
- Describe the principles and be able to teach efficient running form including supplemental drills.
- Evaluate a patient for movement dysfunction during a clinical visit and provide simple corrective measures.
- Discuss clinical Injury assessment and exam and specific corrective exercises.
- Describe practical gait analysis, cues, and corrections.
- Discuss Nutrition for health and performance.
- Prescribe footwear to complement the patient’s current movement pattern and how to safely transition them to more functional footwear

Testimonials
“I can honestly say this course was a real help to my physical therapy practice and running clinics.”
“I love Dr. Mark’s positive energy, his depth and breadth of knowledge, his attitude of “always learning,” his generosity in giving credit to others, his ability to demonstrate exercises and his attitude of “making it fun” and going for the “monkey bars”.
“I cannot express enough how much of an impact it has made on my life. Course left me with something to ponder and change in my life.”
“Firstly in my personal training – I ran a race on the weekend after the course and went into it with a whole lot of new ‘tools’. From foot strike to pushing off with my big toe to positive thoughts, nutrition, the list goes on … I won the race but most importantly it was the best race I have ever run!”
“Awesome course! Jam-packed with eye-opening and high yield info both for my personal benefit and for my clinical practice — can’t wait to put this all to use! Thanks!”
“Absolutely outstanding course overall – lectures, resource provided, interactive nature, up to date/cutting edge concepts and approachability of speakers, “no” fluff, but concentrated, incredibly useful/ applicable information. Privileged to have participated.”
“Amazing course! Very relevant to both my practice and me. This course was put together and executed perfectly. The only downside is that it was at times a bit beyond my comprehension level.”
