The overpronation myth - what the running shoe brands will NEVER tell you - with Nick Knight from NK Active, one of the UK’s leading musculoskeletal and rehabilitation clinics. Nick shares the latest science which clearly states that overpronation is not a 'thing' and it doesn't cause injury. If you have a niggle or an injury it's much more likely to be a result of increasing your training load too rapidly and not doing 18mins of strength work 3 times a week, plus other important training aspects that are often overlooked like sleeping and eating well. Luckily Nick reveals the top 3 things we can do to avoid or reduce injury and the best 3 quick & easy strength exercises.
