If not: Having heard her name mentioned on two running podcasts and then again in Adharanand Finn's Rise of the Ultra runners book (loved that, listened on Audible) I thought I'd investigate what Helen Hall was all about. It seems like she has worked miracles with injured runners and helped others go on to improve their performance by large margins. I've been reading her book (on Kindle, probably not the best way to do so). I find the writing style and the waffle a bit much, but am intrigued by the concepts - though apparently not enough to actually try the pre-run movements and start on the process --- This might be one for the more efficient running thread ? So, if anyone is WujWumming, what do you think? or am I going to have to be the Fetch guinea pig? On the other hand, I'm currently listening to Shane Benzi's "the lost art of running" - which seems to come from a similar place...
