In this episode of the “All Things Endurance Podcast,” host Rick Prince chats with Brad Miles. Brad is the co-founder and CEO of Lever Movement, a bodyweight suspension system for treadmills that allows runners to unload a percentage of their bodyweight while running.
Rick and Brad chat about how Lever came to be, the evolution of Lever’s demographic, use cases for Lever and the benefits of running unloaded.
Below are the specific areas that Rick and Brad discuss during this episode:
1. Tell us about your background and how you got the idea to invent Lever Movement.
2. You started by thinking of it from a rehab perspective, but you have now leaned into it as also a prehab use case. How did that evolution in thinking transpire?
3. When we first spoke, you mentioned that your initial focus was on triathletes. Has Lever Movement since been adopted by the running community?
4. In theory, would a product like Lever Movement replace traditional running recovery modalities such as pool jogging, elliptical trainers, etc?
5. Volume is the number one predictor of running injuries. For runners who are injury-prone and/or those who run at what would be considered high volume, how many days per week is it suggested to run using Lever Movement?
6. Have you found that rehab professionals can be liberal in their running prescriptions for injured athletes when using Lever versus those who don’t have access to reduced-weight-bearing training modalities?
7. Pain is a great motivator. Do you find many people purchase a Lever Movement product after bouts of repeated injuries or when they’re currently injured?
8. If someone wanted to learn more about Lever Movement or purchase a product, what is the best way to do so?
