A common complaint we get when people do lunges is that the back knee hurts. This could be due to that leg not having the passive mobility to flex the knee, eccentric control to get low or having the positional strength to hold the lunge.

Try these exercises out to help alleviate knee pain while lunging.

1) Couch Stretch

2) Front Foot Elevated Split Squat

3) Lunge Isometric

We're back in 2026 and getting to know our PT, Oscar Chen, just a little bit better! Do you think he can do a pistol squat?! 🤔

While “every rep should look the same” may not be bad general advice to encourage good form and exercise proficiency, it does not apply to all situations. While you should have the strength, control, and technical skill to execute “good form” at sub maximal volumes and loads, it is normal, and even advantageous, for form to change under maximal volume or load. So consider your goals, use your judgement, and don’t be afraid of movement variability. 💪

If you've been foam rolling your IT band but it still feels tight, that's because your IT band is a fibrous band that won’t respond the same way as your muscles do when you foam roll it. The IT band can become irritated with activity when a person has trouble controlling their pelvis and knee, so we need a more active solution.

A single-leg hip airplane is a drill you can try instead that will challenge your ability to control your hips over a stationary knee.

The flexor hallucis longus (FHL) plays an important role in running by contributing to the propulsion and stability of the foot. Here’s how it helps:

Toe Flexion: The FHL is responsible for flexing the big toe, which is crucial during the push-off phase of running. As the foot pushes off the ground, the big toe's flexion helps propel the body forward by providing additional force.

Foot Stability: The FHL assists in stabilizing the arch of the foot, especially when the foot is in a mid-stance or push-off position. This helps in maintaining proper foot mechanics and alignment during running, preventing excessive movement that could lead to injury.

Ankle Plantar Flexion: The FHL also contributes to ankle plantarflexion, working with other muscles to point the toes downward, aiding in the final push-off from the ground.

Shock Absorption: The FHL helps in absorbing some of the impact forces when the foot strikes the ground, reducing stress on the rest of the foot and lower leg.

Your 2025 Racing Season is Over…Now What?

Here are 4 R's to help you make 2026 a great racing year!

1. Recover: Race day and all your training to get to race day can cause significant stress throughout the body. Take the time you need to rest and recover before getting back after it. Your body will thank you.

2. Rehab: Certain injuries like tendonitis may appear to be improving when you are taking a break from running. However, this does not mean you are healed and when you resume running if the cause of these injuries are not addressed they are likely to return in the upcoming season.

3.Rebuild: Now is a great time to start rebuilding your strength to help reduce your risk for injury in the upcoming season. Start with addressing your weakest areas first or areas where you have had injuries over this past year. You can continue to work on strength as you start to resume running.

4. Race schedule: Start planning your 2026 Race schedule. Give yourself something to look forward to and start planning how to recover, rehab and rebuild for your strongest race season yet!

***If you are unsure about how to rehab an injury or start incorporating strengthening into your race training, find a rehab professional to assist you.

Feeling tired, injured, or stuck in your progress even though you’re training hard? It might not be your workouts — it might be an underfueled body. RED-S (Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport) happens when you’re not getting enough calories or nutrients to support your training, and the symptoms are more common than most athletes realize.

If any of this sounds familiar, it’s worth taking a closer look at your fueling strategy. Working with a Registered Dietitian can help you identify gaps, rebuild energy availability, and support your performance long-term.
