It's not a sexy technique but it can get runners to the finish line happy! Absolutely needs more attention!

[Craig Payne @CraigBPayne]

@apaphysio All sports (male and female) needs to be constantly re-examined to promote safety. Tradition and pride need to be checked when the rules of any game/sport put the players at high risk of injury.

Introducing the AlterG!
