Subject: Running balance
I got a Fenix 3 last month and started using it. A new update finally activated some of the running dynamics on the HR strap. That's working now and I have a few runs for about 3 weeks that show when I'm running that I I have a 48/52% time balance on the ground for left/right foot. The hover over on Garmin says that studies show that a 50/50% is ideal to avoid injury. Err ok... the past 2 weeks my right knee has been pretty iffy for running. I ran ~36 miles the past few days though and it's been fine but still the same 48/52 percent.

Does anyone know if this is really accurate and what, if anything, could I do to help correct this. I'm all for trying if it lessens injury rate.

What happens if you turn the strap over? 

48/52.  To me, that falls into the category of, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.  That seems pretty close to balanced, and if you try to consciously change something, you'll probably just end up messing up your body.

You will need to practice a couple of things to get those hips to the surface of the water, where they should be. The two drills involve head position and balance.

Yoga’s something where one stands in a bizarre and ridiculous pose, listening to new age music, right? Wrong! Check out this primer for beginners.
