Free Running Symposium

TriState Orthopaedic Surgeons and Prorehab proudly present the second annual Running Symposium! This year the focus is on "Optimizing Performance" and will feature both local and national authorities on the topics of training, common injuries and prevention, and functional movement.

Our guest presenter this year is Dr. Todd Arnold, an orthopaedic physician at St. Vincent Sports Performance in Indianapolis.

"Dr. Todd Arnold is a primary care/sports performance physician with over a decade of experience caring for athletes of all levels from scholastic to professional. He is a team physician for the Indianapolis Indians, Carmel High School and Carmel United Soccer Club. He has extensive training through the Titleist Performance Institute in the biomechanics of the golf swing, golf fitness and health care related to the golfer, and is the co-creator of Prescription Golf & Fitness™.

He serves as a sports performance scientist for USA Track and Field and worked extensively with over 50 athletes in preparation for the 2012 Olympic Games where the team won 29 medals."  

Dr. Arnold will speak about how the challenges in functional movement patterns will affect performance. His talk will be supplemented by breakout sessions from ProRehab physical therapists to highlight specific patterns that are problematic in runners/walkers and how to correct them.

Other topics include:

• Training programs to improve your VO2 max, lactate threshold, speed and endurance 
• Roundtable Q&A with All-American distance runners
• Common injuries, how to treat them if they occur, and how to prevent injuries

New Year, New You!

Sorry, folks, it's been a while since we've updated the site, but it's January now and the start of a new training season. With the Southern Indiana Classic Marathon and Half Marathon just a few months away, it's time to get off the couch! If you've never done a longer race or maybe you want to cross a marathon or half marathon off your bucket list, there is nothing better than training with a group of people. There is something to be said for friends, or even complete strangers, pushing you to do your best. Ultimate Fit is leading training runs on Saturdays and I will post the information for these sessions below. Enjoy! 

Training Runs

Training Runs Begin January 5th

There will be six runs:

January 5th

January 19th

February 2nd 

February 16th 

March 2nd 

March 23rd 

All Saturday morning group runs start at 7:30am at Ultimate Fit on S Green River Rd. All paces (including walkers) are welcome to attend. Bring a buddy to ensure someone will be present at your exact pace, but with a group this large, there is bound to be a person at your exact pace present. All group workouts take place on Saturday mornings (because it is too dark outside for large groups to run in the winter evenings), and we follow Hal Higdon’s intermediate schedule. If you follow Hal Higdon’s intermediate schedule these runs will fit perfectly into your training schedule.

We will have drawings for gift cards and SIC gear!!
