I am doing another round of Boot Camps in Australia. This time they are mostly Boot Camps 2.0, which is a follow on version from the previous Boot Camps. v2.0 is only one day and has a whole lot of new topics to cover. (version 1.0 will still be done from time to time and there is a v1.5 that is a two day combination of the v1.0 and v2.0 - the one in Perth is v1.5).
Members do not see these Ads. Sign Up.
Dates and cities:
Apr 6 Sydney (v2.0)
Apr 20 Brisbane (v2.0)
Apr 27 Melbourne (v2.0)
May 4-5 Perth (v1.5)
May 11 Adelaide (v2.0)
{Jun 1 Christchurch; NZ (v2.0)}
Jul 13 Canberra (v2.0)
I will finalise venues closer to time when have clearer indication of numbers for each venue, so please register early.
Topics to be covered in v2.0:
- Short or long term use of foot orthotics?
- Deconstruction all the social media crap on foot orthotics and running form
- Why do overuse injuries occur?
- SAID – Specific adaptation to imposed demand
- Lower the force or increase the ability of the tissue to take the force?
- How to increase the ability of tissues to take the force
- How to spot cherry picking, confirmations bias and the usual trope of argumentative fallacies
- Toning Shoes
- Whats more important: Proximal or distal control of the lower limb?
- Minimalism vs Maximalism
- Tabulation of foot orthotic design features for prescription variables
- When to run which way; deciding which running ‘form’ is better for which individual
- Making clinical decisions in the context of all the online and media driven rhetoric and propaganda
- Running shoes, foot orthotics and their effects on muscle strength
- Advising runners and facilitating the transition to different running forms
- Increased understanding of the role of fascia in foot biomechanics
- Trends vs Fads; the gullibility of the athletic market
- The running shoes and knee osteoarthritis debacle
- The ideamotor scam
- What role do impact forces really play in injury?
- "I read on a blog orthotics are evil and should be banned"
- Which injuries are more common in which running form or technique?
- Why do people believe in weird things?
- What to do in the absence of evidence
- Solving the problem of which running shoe prescription when
Version 1.5 (2 days in Perth) will be a combination of the above and the previous content.

Looks good, Craig. Any UK dates planned?
-
The list looks to be very much running orientated (that'll be interesting - particularly if you’re a runner ;)... & even if not). Besides running is the core of most sports & subsequently could be seen of biomechanics.
The list also reveals possible influencing topics resulting from the counter argument barefoot debate/debacle (I hope I worded that appropriately). Despite a lot of rubbish we Podiatrists have had to wade through & subsequently the time taken to address, the (barefoot) experience has certainly encouraged us (amongst other things) to educate a wide scope of lay people (i.e. exposing untruths & blatant lies from those with an agenda); to ask further questions, expand views & answers, maybe reassess our position on some areas... & subsequently further substantiate our role in sports medicine as biomechanical & lower limb authorities.
Out of all the questions asked above, I am intrigued by the... "Why do people believe in weird things?" question... sounds interesting & on the surface out of character of the others (albeit, I can probably guess the connection i.e. related to Payne's 1st law?). Any hints/teasers to this fascinating question?
All the best for the series. -

Secondly, its a good way to illustrate the issues that can be applied to many other area of clinical practice (and life in general). For example, as Thompson noted, "we are experiencing a pandemic of counterknowledge, that is misinformation packaged to look like fact, but that is demonstrably false". So 'running' is used to develop the skills and techniques to deconstruct all the nonsense and address the issues. ie develop your own 'bull****' detection monitor'
I want to answer questions like, who do people believe an anonymous blogger with no clinical experience over an experienced clinician; why to some people describe McDougal's book, Born to Run as 'life changing' and others see it as a work of fiction fill of manipulation and misreporting of pseudosceince and wonder why so many are gullible enough to fall for it; why did the barefoot community lie about running shoes causing knee osteoarthritis; etc. We have to treat patients with these beliefs - how do you deal with this in clinical practice is part of the aim of Boot Camp v2.0
Lots of practical topics are also mixed in there. -
v2 sounds great Craig. Will v1 be offered at all this year, anywhere?
-
-
I have two quotes I would like to add which does also throw light on the above issues discussed (including the pseudoscience/barefoot evangelism/internet 'medical' advice issue)...
“If you make people think they are thinking, they will love you... but if you make them think, they will hate you”... Will Durante.
&...
"In religion and politics, people's beliefs and convictions are in almost every case gotten at second hand, and without examination"... Mark Twain.
I also wonder if we should consider the principles of Occam's razor (principle of parsimony) in the above mix...
I feel certainly a valid principle to keep in mind on topics such as this (& the side issues that creep in i.e. Origins, heel to forefoot midsole pitch etc...) where, what can be seen as obscure viewpoints/reasoning (i.e. Ad hoc hypothesis) are added in an attempt make one’s agenda (world view) try to fit the data/evidence. Yet sometimes the obvious or simplest hypotheses can be the scariest/daunting for some... due to the potential implications they can invoke.
Sorry for the length (it's the passion ;)). -
Thanks Craig, it really sounds like a 'line in the sand' tour, coming at a time when we are seeing the pace come back a bit on the minimalist side of things, moreso than just things like vibram sales dropping back, but more broadly with patients wanting to know more about 'efficiency', and less about the language of the extreme. What i see clinically and in the wholesale/retail world now is more of a morphing into 'efficiency' and 'form' for running.
Saucony are betting everything on this with their range now at zero drop to 4mm with flagship shoes in 8mm. Asics have their approach carefully with Gel Lyte 33, Brooks with their 6mm pure project range. The commentary from the brands has changed though hasn't it.
Commentary from the brands along the lines of 'we have learned from barefoot and minimalism to produce.....' Yes, the next generation is upon us...surely they got it right this time! ie, repositioning from the more extreme. See the commentary from Wolverine (Saucony & Merrell) the SGB weekly last week as a case in point.
Look forward to seeing you in Melbourne then Craig and listening to you 'keeping the bastards honest'....well at least watch you try ;) -
Sorry, here is the link for the SGB read re Merrell/Saucony

Re: Lest we forget
Hi Craig
Knowing that you are now online, can you let me know the venue and time for the bootcamp in Melbourne on Saturday?
I registered online but have no confirmation or details.
Cheers
Lou Marker -
Re: Lest we forget
The info was sent the email that you paid with: markerreynolds@bogpond.com
Holiday Inn on Flinders @ 9.00AM -
Having just read all the moving tributes to commemorate ANZAC day I realise that the question I just posted is definitely in the wrong thread!
Sorry people to introduce the prosaic into the poetic. -
-
Hiya Craig,
Thanks for a great Bootcamp.
Lots to think about and re-reading my notes.
Any idea when you'll be able to get the certificates out? I know you've got a busy schedule.
Thanks again, and looking forward to the next one.
:drinks
Tracy -
Hi Craig, Just a reminder to you that you promised to post lecture notes for the bootcamp in Sydney held just recently as you didn't have them on the day and also could please send a certificate for both myself and Manny Dhillon for attendance for our CPD requirements.
Thanks
