EP. 119 | Optimising Running Performance for Life; Reconnecting mind and movement with Author of “Built To Run”, Dr. Matt Silver - Part 2

In Part 2 of this powerful two-part series, Nic Acampora continues the conversation with Dr. Matt Silver—Doctor of Physical Therapy, Performance Coach, and Author of Built to Run. This episode dives deeper into the transition from rehabilitation to peak performance, exploring the key elements that help runners move from pain to potential.

Together, Nic and Matt unpack the practical tools and mindset shifts needed to rebuild running confidence, including the role of gait retraining, coordination, and strength training. You’ll learn how cadence, ground contact time, and foot mechanics impact running efficiency, plus what cues and drills can be used to correct common issues like over-striding and postural collapse.
