Running Mechanics and Injury Prevention Strategies

By the end of this course, you will (1) assess and correct running mechanics to reduce injury risk and (2) integrate strength, nutrition, and equipment strategies to enhance endurance and recovery. Created by performance coach and dietitian Stephanie Hnatiuk, this course combines gait analysis, strength and conditioning, footwear selection, and fueling principles into a complete injury-prevention system. Learners gain actionable skills for identifying faulty movement patterns, improving stride efficiency, and supporting recovery through load management and nutrition. What sets this course apart is its multidisciplinary approach—bridging sports science, biomechanics, and nutrition to create well-rounded, evidence-based guidance for runners of all levels.
