B invited Neal Goldberg (MS, PT), of Seattle's Footworks Physical Therapy to speak to the Marathon Club about things we could do to avoid having to come to see him. His advice for the most part came down to work on activating and strengthening your core. only a little bit of the talk since he spent most of the time on the other thing. Stretching. He's a big fan of integrating your stretching into your day, and doing it in lots of little snippets throughout the day, not just during a 15 minute period at night, for example.
He covered some stretches for each of the lower body segments; front calf, rear calf, quad, hamstring, hip flexor, piriformis (butt), IT band, as well as some good tips on some other stretches, and how to use a foam roller.
