Runners! You must know how to fall.

As someone who runs in the winter over snow/ice and who does plenty of trail running, falling is a risk that comes with the game.

Knowing how to fall can be an important skill to lower your injury risk!

In the below video I discuss a few points:

  1. Don’t try to stop a fall by putting your arms straight out.
    1. This is going to trash your palms, potentially hurt your wrists/elbows, and have you face-planting.
  2. Instead, land with bent elbows under your body, tuck and roll.
    1. Talk to any experienced martial artist or skateboarder – they know how to hit the ground!
