SUBHEAD: Join us for Wellness Wednesday
Whether sprinting down corridors or training for an ultramarathon, the simplicity of running for both exercise and stress relief is undeniable. Although humans are born to run, we are also prone to running injuries. Whether you are a seasoned or sidelined athlete, interested in injury prevention, recovery, or adopting a new stress relieving pastime, this week’s Wellness Wednesday will prove informative…perhaps life altering. Our special guest, Roberto Ruiz, an exercise physiologist with “Fit To Win” and Wellness program director at the Pentagon’s DiLorenzo TRICARE Health Clinic, will be discussing running injuries, risk factors, intervention and strategies. He will also provide a general running training program.
Ruiz has a Master’s degree in Fitness and Human Performance and is nationally-certified through the American College of Sports Medicine, National Strength and Conditioning Association, National Academy of Sports Medicine, and Road Runners Club of America. He previously worked at the Army Physical Fitness Research Institute, U.S. Army War College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Ruiz has over 20 years of experience as an exercise professional, including 18 years of wellness experience alongside senior leaders of the military. Currently, he performs running gait analysis on active duty members of the military at the Pentagon. Ruiz has served as a fitness/running consultant to the White House Medical Team and has spoken at numerous national and regional conferences on the topics of running biomechanics, core strength, running shoe recommendations, and strength training.
