#187 Running Science! Matt's Masters Runners Research, In-Depth

Our very own Matt Klein is approaching the finish line on his dissertation research on masters runners. On this episode he and Nathan break down his findings! Matt's research takes a look at biomechanical changes in masters runners and the prevalence of Achilles and calf injuries. Matt explains the methodology of his two studies and what conclusions can be drawn from them. They also explore how the average runner can maximize their longevity and performance as they age.
