It’s Your Time, and It’s Your Move
By Nicole Duncan
For more than a decade, Tyrone Irby has been working with people of all ages and fitness abilities to help them achieve their fitness goals. And while many of his clients are training to shave minutes off their personal records or perform better in different athletic challenges, Irby’s approach begins with a more holistic philosophy. Athletic performance of any kind requires a solid foundation of strength-training, specifically movement-based strength training. By focusing on everyday movements, athletes can move more efficiently and become injury-resistant. But this form of training isn’t exclusive to runners and endurance athletes. In fact, it’s an integral part of overall health for everyone, especially as we age.

Better Movements = Better Running
Our lives are built upon movements. Better movement equals better running…and less injury.
Question: How are your everyday movements affecting your flexibility, balance, and conditioning?
Every day we squat, carry, rotate, push, pull and hinge (bend). We sit down and stand up from chairs. We carry packages and groceries from place to place. We reach across our bodies high into kitchen cabinets. We pick up children and items from the floor. We pull open and push closed doors. These everyday movements not only affect our lives but also our running.
In this Fleet Feet School of Run talk, local strength coach Tyrone Irby, will discuss how your ordinary movements and range of motion affect the quality of your runs. Using the overhead squat assessment, we can provide indicators of possible injuries and provide tips for prevention.
Running, one of the most complex human movements, is primarily in one plane of motion, however it requires a degree of anti-rotation and loaded carry (your body weight is the load. It is a non-contact sport, so we are rarely injured during our runs. Instead, injuries often occur in our everyday lives.
Our everyday movements are important. Improving the quality of those movements prepares the body for the repetitive stress of running and improves the quality of our runs.
Better movement equals better running…and less injury.
