Jae Gruenke, is a running technique expert, Feldenkrais practitioner, and founder of The Balanced Runner. Since 2003 she’s helped runners and triathletes from beginner to Olympian become pain-free, efficient, and fast. Her elite clients have included Olympian distance runners Jen Rhines and Sonia Samuels, Olympic medalist and Ironman winner Lisa Norden, multi-record-setting ultramarathoner William Sichel, and Susan Marshall, winner of the 2022 Self-Transcendence 3100 (the world’s longest race).
In this conversation, Jae discusses the intricacies of running form, the importance of body awareness, and how self-image affects performance. She emphasizes the need for runners to explore their movement patterns and understand their bodies better to improve their running efficiency.
Jae's (6) keys to being a Balanced Runner:
- Forward lean from the ankles
- Movement of the core - core action, rotation
- Foot strike can vary, but supple leg
- Mid-stance alignment
- Arm swing (bring your hands to your heart)
- Leaning with your face (kiss your grandma)
