About the Event
The Lifecare Run Well Series is a free educational event series hosted by Lifecare Malvern Sports Medicine, designed to help everyday runners move better, train smarter, and stay injury-free in the lead-up to the Melbourne Marathon. Night 4 of the six-part series zeroes in on two of the most overlooked pieces of the running puzzle: technique and footwear. Led by the clinical team at Lifecare Malvern, this session builds on earlier instalments covering strength, injury prevention, and nutrition, rounding out a well-informed approach to training.
Whether you're chasing your first fun run or your fastest marathon split, how you move and what you're moving in has a direct impact on performance, efficiency, and injury risk. This session is aimed at demystifying both.
What to Expect
Held on-site at Lifecare Malvern Sports Medicine, this one-hour evening session covers:
- Key elements of efficient running technique
- Common form mistakes and how to correct them
- How technique influences performance and injury risk
- Understanding different types of running shoes
- How to choose the right footwear for your foot type, training load, and race day
- When to replace your shoes and what signs to look out for
The format is practical and conversational, giving attendees the chance to ask questions specific to their own running history, injuries, or upcoming goals. It's suited to runners of all levels — from those just starting out to experienced runners preparing for a personal best.
