In this episode of Science & Chill, I interview Trevor Short, the CEO of San Francisco-based company Run Lab -- which helps runners of all types achieve their full athletic potential. Run Lab offers a comprehensive analysis that includes a foot assessment, physical therapy assessment, gait analysis, and VO2 max test, which serves to diagnose potential problem areas for runners and identify areas for improvement. Then, a personalized training program is provided to guide runners through the process of becoming faster, stronger, and more efficient.

Trevor is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) who is currently earning his PhD in exercise physiology at the University of Hawaii. Trevor played football at the division II collegiate level, which is where his initial interest in sports science was stimulated. Trevor has worked with NFL players and Olympic athletes, and seeks to apply sports science concepts to clinical populations.

Run lab offers their entire analysis and training programs remotely, and you can find more information about working with Run Lab here.
