Why Most Runners Struggle (And How to Fix It)

Most people think running injuries come from weak muscles or the wrong shoes. But the real issue is how you move.

When you run using the wrong mechanics, you rely too much on your calves, feet, hamstrings and quads, which puts excessive stress on your body. This leads to:

❌ Knee pain

❌ Achilles tightness

❌ Plantar fasciitis

❌ ITB Syndrome

❌ Lower back discomfort

The Functional Step changes everything. It teaches you how to use your glutes and core as your primary propulsion system, so the rest of your body stays relaxed, and you move efficiently and pain-free.

The Science Behind the Functional Step

The Functional Step works because it aligns movement with the body’s

natural mechanics, leveraging key biomechanical principles:

1. Gravity-Assisted Forward Motion

Instead of muscling through every step, you allow gravity to pull you down in the coil phase and forward in the propulsion phase, naturally working the human spring and minimising unnecessary energy expenditure. This is how elite runners maintain effortless speed.

2. Glute-Driven Propulsion

Your glutes are the most powerful muscles in the body, designed for hip extension, which is the primary driver of efficient forward movement. Activating them correctly takes the load off the calves, quads, knees, and all the other supporting muscles of the body.

3. Elastic Recoil Efficiency

Your muscles, tendons, and fascia store and release energy, reducing the metabolic cost of movement. This is what makes running naturally springy and light when done correctly.

4. Whole-Body Integration

Instead of isolating muscles, you engage the entire kinetic chain, allowing forces to distribute naturally and preventing unnecessary tension and strain.
