Free Running Summit March 7

Are you pumped for warmer weather and longer runs? To help you warm up for spring, 7 local running experts will be presenting at the first-ever Running Summit on Saturday, March 7 from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. at the Training Room inside STACK Velocity Sports Performance in Cherry Hill, NJ.

"We wanted to put something together before the start of the running season," said Mark Kemenosh, a chiropractor at Glen Oaks Health and Spine Center, who will be discussing active release techniques during the seminar.

He explained that the talks themselves will be no more than 10 minutes each, so there will be lots of time for Q & A. "The seminar will have good information for all runners – beginners to professionals. The real thing we want to do is prevent injuries," he said.

This free event will include the following panel of experts:

Dr. Michael Ross, director of Rothman Institute's Performance Lab will discuss the Physiology of Running.

Dr. Lee Cohen, a sports podiatrist and consultant for Philadelphia Eagles, 76ers and Wings, will present on Lower Extremity Injuries in Runners.

Maggie Faller, a physical therapist at The Training Room, specializes in treating endurance athletes and will speak on Injury Prevention in Runners.

Mark Kemenosh, chiropractor at Glen Oaks Health and Spine Center, will present on Active Release Technique for the Runner.

Dave Yansick, sports performance director at Velocity Sports Performance will teach Flexibility and Core Exercises for Runners.

An elite speed coach and movement specialist who specializes in the Pose method of running, Tracy Peal will perform Gait Analysis to review proper running mechanics.

And, let's not forget that footwear is important to the runner as well. Dave Welsh, owner of Haddonfield Running Company will talk about the Proper Footwear for Runners.
