s5/e15 Move Better, Run Faster: The Key to Efficient Running with Samuel Stow

s5/e15 Move Better, Run Faster: The Key to Efficient Running with Samuel Stow

Ever wonder how much your running form really matters? In this episode, ultra runner and coach Sam Stow joins me for a deep, honest, and slightly nerdy conversation about the underrated importance of movement efficiency, body awareness, and technique. We dig into why how you move matters just as much as how far or how fast you go—and how the right tweaks to your movement patterns can unlock more enjoyable, injury-resistant, and sustainable running.


We also get into:

  • Why there’s no one right way to run
  • The common mistakes many runners make (hello, overstriding 👀)
  • Why glute activation matters way more than you think
  • How barefoot running can actually help you feel your body better
  • What “mindful movement” actually means in training
  • And why balancing performance goals with fun is the long game


Sam’s got a fascinating story—including a world record barefoot marathon on a non-motorized treadmill!—and a coaching philosophy that’s equal parts grounded and empowering. If you're ready to run smarter, feel better, and actually enjoy the process? This one’s for you!
