Bobby McGee, your host, is one of the world’s greatest running coaches and has been coaching endurance athletes for 32 years. He is a 5 time Olympic coach, and has been involved in some form with 9 Olympic medalists.
He says, there are three very important aspects of endurance training;
Firstly, address your running mechanics. Teach yourself to run effectively and to avoid injuries in order to run at your optimum level.Secondly, look at how you train. What is it about your training that’s holding you back? Is there a way that you can train better?Lastly, address the mental blocks that hold you back. How can you unleash the power of your mind to get you to race effectively?Matt Pendola has decades of experience helping runners build strength and get ahead of their injury cycles. He’s worked with some of the world’s greatest elite athletes including Olympic and World Champion medalists Kevin McDowell and Ben Kanute, to name a few.
He also has a handful of impressive personal achievements as an athlete, including winning the Elite Spartan World Championships Masters Division (2015) & qualifying for Duathlon World Championships 3 times.
These two world class coaches come together in today's episode to help you run better, run longer, and run injury free.

In this episode of RunFORM, join our coaches, Bobby McGee and Matt Pendola, and their guest, Dave Schmitz, as they discuss the immense benefits of training with bands for runners and triathletes. This training method is great for athletes of all levels and even the general population just looking to improve mobility and longevity. It’s also a great replacement to lifting weights, which may come as a surprise.
Whether you're a beginner looking to establish solid fundamentals or an experienced athlete aiming for peak performance, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in moving better.

Show notes:
Dave describes himself as an Orthopedic Physical Therapist who discovered a way for people to train their body the way it was designed to work. Resistance Band Training (RBT) can assist and resist the force drivers of functional movement, Momentum, Gravity, Ground Contact Forces, and can do this for anybody, anytime, anywhere. This makes RBT the most effective and sustainable fitness tool.
The obvious benefits:
Portable - Light Weight Train Anytime - Anywhere simulating Any Human Movement Adaptable to any fitness level (Rehab, General Joe, High Performance Athletes) No gym required during travel Creates instant solution to staying consistent
The Hidden Benefits:
1 - Variable Ascending Resistance (Free Weights are a Constant Resistance) allows bands to
assist or resist gravity accelerate or decelerate momentum increase or soften ground contact forces maximizes long lever arm stabilizationadapts to anyone and helps anyone, including injured, regain higher levels of movement performanceTruly train deceleration control which is #1 cause of injurytrain power by changing rep speed build greater long lever arm peripheral joint stability which dramatically reduces joint injury potential2 - RBT is not gravity dependent which:
Allows you to create multiple resistance vectors, specifically horizontal resistance which allows you to train shear forces #1 force that leads to joint arthritic changes, ligament injury, low back injury and rotator cuff traumaAllows you un-load against gravity with attached band training which reduces gravity and its impact on joint surfacesAllows you to resistance train locomotion movements which is the blueprint on how the body was designedWhy Flat Band?
Most DurableMost versatile (trains all aspects of human performance and fitness)Adheres to the bodyLow maintenanceLow costMolded vs Layered Bands
Molded Bands - Liquid latex poured into a mold Pros:
Typically less expensive Can purchase in multiple colors Can find anywhere Good for very low resistance - rehab movements Cheap to manufacture using various qualities of latex
Layered Bands: Multiple Layers bonded together to form a band Pros
Safer Stronger Durable (Average training life - 4 to 6 years)
Far less durable More likely to tear or break Tension inconsistency with end range stoppage Not designed for high intensity strength training or performance training
Consistent and smooth tension development Designed for high intensity training if desired
Cons
The Quantum "Layered" Band Difference
1- Uses Latex Bonding which increases band durability by 300x and eliminates band layers splitting
2- Includes a latex weld to eliminate top layer peeling
3- Creates a soft feel and consistent tension development
4 -Package without shipping powder which is irritable to eyes
5- Packaged with central band to eliminate crease defects and premature breakage
Like all RBT Packages - The Gym in A Bag is backed up with proven virtual coaching and client support. Bands are not like a dumbbell which essentially has one setup option. Band training requires learning how to apply and use correctly to maximize results and band longevity. This is the real magic behind The Gym in A Bag.
