PEAre you training your brakes as much as your accelerator?
Running isn’t just about producing force — it’s about absorbing it.
Every foot strike requires the quads to eccentrically control knee flexion and decelerate your body weight. Without that capacity, stress shifts to passive structures like the patellofemoral joint and surrounding tissues.
Deceleration training helps the quads:
✔ Absorb load appropriately
✔ Improve landing control
✔ Increase stride efficiency
✔ Reduce injury risk
Stronger brakes = more efficient acceleration.
