📣Some pertinent information about The Sling Method. 📣

👉TSM IS STRENGTH training FOR running because it strength trains the biomechanics & movements of running from head to toe.

❌Things we don’t do in The Sling Method -

⏺️Lift weights - everything is using resistance bands because horizontal force is the most important thing to train for runners outside of running. There are many ways to strength trains other than using weights. Running is a specific collection of sequential movements responding to force and load. It isn’t random and most people are simply doing it poorly. It has nothing to do with arbitrary strength in the slightest!

⏺️Planks - planks are awful for posture, gait, pelvis/rib separation, rotation, and hip flexors. They are the absolute worst thing a runner can do for their spinal biomechanics.

⏺️Squats - in a “traditional” sense (wide stance + toes out) awful for posture, gait, pelvis/rib separation, rotation, and hip flexors. They are the absolute worst thing a runner can do for their gait.

⏺️Stretching - there is absolutely no need or benefit to stretching for runners, and research consistently demonstrates this beyond doubt. There has not been a single study showing benefit to runners from stretching. Studies have also shown the damaging effects to joint labrum’s, tendons, and other tissues from stretching.

⏺️Faced down (prone) or faced up (supine) - running is a vertical position upright and MUST be trained in this position. Anything faced up or down is not relevant to or for running in terms of training the body for it. In an upright position everything becomes relative to the running movement and the way we move/load the body when we run.

⏺️Clamshells/Fire Hydrants/Towel scrunching - as these are movements which serve to disrupt the timing and coordination of the gait cycle movement.

👉Running is a skill not a strength task. Learn to train that skill and you’ll get better results.

👉 The body is a system of coordinated levers which are all working together at all times.

👉The running movement is not an isolated muscle “thing” and training muscles in isolation does very little to help the inter/intra muscular coordination for running.

👉Everything is working together when we run. Muscles produce a lot of force because the movements are fast, not because there’s high load/resistance. Remember, force is Mass X Acceleration and mass is only ever your body weight, nothing else.

👉Feet do the most because they move the fastest and have the rest of the body stacked on top of them!

👉Glutes do very very little compared to other muscles in the body.

👉Running is a rotational movement, so training in rotational movement is needed. Training muscles to push and lift heavy objects up and down is not relevant to running.

👉Most running injuries are tendon based! Think about that.

👉Neither strength training or flexibility “prevent” injuries

👉Elite runners run hundreds of miles per week and do not get injured often BECAUSE they are so skilled at running, not because they are strong or flexible.

👉70+% of elite endurance runners heel strike.

👉The only things that make us better runners, are running and things which look/act/and move like running. The further away from running we deviate the less and less it will benefit running.

👉The most likely two causes of injury are chronic tissue overload, and acute tissue overload.

👉Poor posture = poor movement = acute & chronic tissue overload

👉Animals do NOT stretch, they pandiculate which is the opposite of stretching.

👉Possibly the most important part of lower body function that 99.9% of runners miss in their training, is ankle & foot pronation!

👉To get started on The Sling Method is $19.99 for the 10 Day Express Course and you’ll get that investment put toward the 9 week Runners’ Rehab course when you invest in yourself and get that course. Money back guarantee!

I want to help YOU get injury free…I will offer anyone who has not got a TSM course a FREE BIOMECHANICS ASSESSMENT (worth $149). Which we do in the private TSM group.

👇Comment below “HELP” 👇 and I’ll send you the details of how to get an assessment.

📣The adaptation you want is a running specific adaptation!

👉Running is highly specific: you adapt to the exact demands you impose

✅Sports science calls this specificity / SAID and (more usefully) dynamic correspondence: transfer is highest when training matches the sport’s force direction, range of motion, timing, velocity, and coordination constraints. 

Running’s signature demands:

⏺️Very short ground contact times (especially as pace increases)

⏺️Mostly stiff, spring-like behavior at the ankle/Achilles/foot + coordinated hip control

⏺️High reliance on elastic energy storage/return, not slow “muscle burning” force

⏺️Repeating the same pattern thousands of times (skill/coordination matters as much as “capacity”)

👉So exercises that build slow strength, general fatigue tolerance, or mobility can be good for health—but still have low transfer to the specific “running system.”

🧠 Remember, the SAID principle tells us that we get a specific outcome from the input. So we must make sure the input is the correct one to get the required result.

1️⃣ Running Is Specific
Your body adapts to the exact forces and timing you train.

2️⃣ Running Uses Elastic Springs
Achilles, foot and slings recycle energy — slow exercises don’t train this.

3️⃣ Running Is Skill & Coordination
Thousands of steps require precise sling timing, not just muscle strength.

4️⃣ Random Exercise Creates Fatigue, Not Transfer
If it doesn’t match running mechanics, it rarely improves running.

👉Train Movements. Not Muscles.
👉Train Running. Not Random Exercise.

You’re not “training for running”, that’s the problem!

📣The S.A.I.D principle is almost always ignored by runners and its contributing to your ongoing injury and poor running performance.

🆘Specific. Adaptation. (to the) Imposed. Demands

👉The 7 most common SAID violations I see in runners

1️⃣ Doing non-specific “strength circuits” (light, burny, no progression) and calling it injury prevention.

2️⃣ Avoiding impact + speed year-round, then adding them suddenly (races, track blocks, hills).

3️⃣ Big single-run jumps (the “I felt good so I went longer” trap). 

4️⃣ Only training one speed (usually easy) and expecting PRs.

5️⃣ Chasing flexibility when the real limiter is control + stiffness timing at speed.

6️⃣ Cross-training that removes the key demand (impact + elastic stiffness) and expecting full carryover.

7️⃣ Under-fueling / low energy availability, which sabotages adaptation (especially bone).

👉Runners commonly come unstuck with the thinking that literally anything will help them be better at running, when the truth is that we must be improving very specific mechanisms which are pertinent to running.

🏃‍♂️ Runners aren’t “fragile.” Most are simply training a body for one set of demands (easy mileage + generic gym work) and then asking it to tolerate a different set of demands (longer, faster, hillier, or more fatigued running).

👉It’s that time again when The Sling Method proves all the Insta-runfluencers wrong!

🥳we do this by showing professional elite runners doing what the Insta-runfluencers say is wrong and will cause us to run slow.

🚨So let’s do some myth busting…

🚩MYTH 1️⃣ - “All runners must land under the hip/CoM/CoG”

✅TRUTH - “NO RUNNERS LAND UNDER THEIR HIP/CoM/CoG”

🚩MYTH 2️⃣ - “The faster we run, the closer to ourself we land”

✅TRUTH - “The faster we run, the further in front of ourself we land”

🚩MYTH 3️⃣ - “We are trying to land under the hip/CoM/CoG”

✅TRUTH - “We’re trying to land on a backward traveling leg (relative to our CoM)”

🚩MYTH 4️⃣ - “Landing in front our body is an over stride”

✅TRUTH - “there is technically no such thing as an over stride. The human Gait Cycle has 15 distinct points/moments and each one should be achieved. When we see a runner landing on a forward traveling leg, they are missing points 13 & 14, thus making their stride an under stride by definition”

Education 🧠 is key to myth busting the misinformation in the running community.

🚨🚨🚨The research is very clear that STRETCHING is a waste of time and actually causes negative effects to certain elastic structures in the body when the dose and frequency create enough “creep”.

👉Avoid stretching if you really want to be injury and pain free!

🆘Even dynamic stretching is under a similar microscope now and the research is pointing to no reduction of injuries.
