Running the Numbers: The Math Behind Every Stride

About this episode

A concise tour of the physics and math of running—from the parabolic center of mass and ground forces to Hill’s physiology and Keller’s optimal-control models. We’ll explore fatigue, modern metrics like running power meters, and how theory translates into smarter training and the mystery of world-record performances.
