Ready to Run
Twelve standards to meet before running technique will hold
Twelve standards to clear before technique work will stick. Neutral feet, ankle range, flat shoes, hydration, tissue quality and the rest. Kelly Starrett published it in 2014, after watching people move to minimalist shoes without the physical capacity to run in them and get hurt for their trouble. Each standard comes with a test and the mobilizations to close it.

Came out of watching people switch to flat shoes without the tissue capacity to run in them and get hurt anyway. He built it as twelve steps of standards and tests, with Stacy Sims on hydration and Jill Miller on the diaphragm. Running is a great diagnostic tool, he says. The trouble is you can run badly for decades before it costs you.
