About Run Fast, Run Forever Presented by Lever Movement
The LEVER Movement Podcast aims to share knowledge and experience from athletes and coaches around the world using Bodyweight Support in their training.
LEVER was founded in 2019 by two competitive athletes in Boulder, Colorado. We believe that body weight support should be an essential element in every competitive athlete’s training to minimize, prevent, and heal from injury as well as continually performing at one's best.
LEVER’s research proves that body weight support helps athletes build and restore muscle strength, range of motion, balance, and endurance.
LEVER’s patented body weight support system allows athletes everywhere to experience the functional benefits of body weight- assisted training at home and while traveling.
Lever Movement's Brad Miles interviews Jordan Collison, head cross-country coach at the University of Windsor, on the transformative impact of gait retraining, reducing injuries by 62% and optimizing athletic performance.

Progressive Training, How this Coach Uses LEVER 3 Days per 9 Day Training Cycle
“How can we kind of be a little cutting edge? How can we find something new and innovative to help push us forward, help push the program forward?” Coach JT Klopcic, the associate head coach of cross country and track and field at Goucher College, lives by these questions as he integrates new technology into his training toolkit. In this episode, he joins Brad Miles to share how the Lever system, once just a recovery aid, evolved into a core part of his athletes’ performance routines. What’s the real value of body weight support in training? Coach JT explains how it helps his athletes build endurance and strength while easing physical strain, setting them up for high-quality workouts and consistent progress.
As Coach JT breaks down his approach, he offers insights into the careful balance of innovation and tradition—when to stick with tried-and-true methods and when to embrace tools that move the needle. For any coach looking to push their program forward, this episode is a reminder: sometimes, it’s the progressive steps that make the difference between a good season and a breakthrough.
Quotes
“I started to realize, we’ve gotten some really good, high-quality workouts in on this. Why don’t we try sprinkling it (Lever) in a little bit more throughout some of our cycles as true workouts?” (06:44 | JT Klopcic)
“What I might do is, in those first three weeks, set it ( Lever) at 40% of body weight, doing three sets of 15 seconds at their spin tempo pace. Then, over the next three weeks, I might either increase the duration to 20 seconds or reduce the percentage of body weight being taken off by the lever. It’s a progressive approach that gradually leads to the goal.” (10:59 | JT Klopcic)
“Being able to take a little bit of that load off and do some of our more or true endurance workouts on the Lever has really, really kind of helped us.” (12:56 | JT Klopcic)
“The Lever has certainly been really, really huge for us and certainly pushing us forward, especially with that middle distance group.” (22:45 | JT Klopcic)

1 Hour and 20 Minute IM Marathon PR with Pro Steph Clutterbuck
“The 3:05 was a shock. It’s not something that I expected. The approach that we’re taking is how quick can you get on the volume of training that you’re currently doing, and then you can increase it, and then you can get faster,” says Steph Clutterbuck, a professional triathlete, as she reflects on her remarkable marathon performance at Ironman Chattanooga and the gradual, deliberate strategy that led to her unexpected personal best.
Steph joins Brad Miles in this episode and opens up about her journey from swimmer and rower to professional triathlete, with only ten months under her belt as a pro. How did she manage to secure a Kona qualification so early on? Steph shares her strategy of focusing on quality over quantity in her run training and explains how minimal run volume led to her unexpected marathon success. But what did it take for her to refine her form while staying injury-free? Steph talks about the mental and physical aspects of racing and also shares the mindset shifts that helped her perform at the highest level. As she gears up for Kona, her insights into balancing ambition with smart training make this episode a must-listen for athletes aiming to push their limits.
Quotes
“I wasn’t running efficiently enough to be able to execute run sessions. I was just getting so tired from trying to hit paces that I should have been able to hit early last year around a 1.24 half marathon, which isn’t awful. It’s pretty good. I couldn't get anywhere close to half marathon race pace and training. So, it just wasn’t making sense. Whereas now, I’m able to run efficiently enough that I can actually execute run sessions.” (24:44 | Steph Clutterbuck)
“In my mind, I needed to run more without running more. I think I don’t know how else to explain it. All I needed to ingrain was better movement patterns, and then it’s all about habit forming. We all know that the best way to form a habit is to do the action more frequently. But with running, when you’re running at full body weight, the injury risk increases exponentially with it. Whereas with the lever system, I can run more without running more, but I can reduce my body weight and therefore reduce the risk of injury.” (26:07 | Steph Clutterbuck)
“I just was in this completely zen flow state where the world seemed to cease to exist. I was just running and I was focusing on the sound of my feet hitting the floor.” (38:15 | Steph Clutterbuck)
