Jay Dicharry is a physical therapist, author, entrepreneur, and faculty member at Oregon State University who knows a lot about tissue health for runners. He\u2019s written some of my favorite books on running performance and injury prevention, including \u201cAnatomy for Runners\u201d and \u201cRunning Rewired.\u201d Jay also hosts workshops for physical therapists. In this episode, Jay and I talk about: New research on tissue remodeling and load tolerance skills to develop durable runners Improving strength, bone density, and tendon health through specific exercises and training methods Debunking common beliefs around running and bone health Proper plyometric training for bone and tissue health The link between nutrition, bone health, and stress fractures Tendon health and repair through slow loading (including Achilles injuries) How to prevent and address tendon injuries in runners through sound strength training Why runner\u2019s feet need special attention Using the MOBO Board as a diagnostic tool for fatigue Every runner can learn something about tissue health from Jay in this episode to help them run strong and stay injury-free.

Thank you MOBO Board!Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that\u2019s set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you\u2019re a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You\u2019ll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it\u2019s not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.
