    Explain what the form is doing that makes it more effort and what it is helping when you correct it.

    Made a Curious Card with question about form and sore peroneal tendons/muscles. All I had handy when the card popped up was a grainy thumbnail pic, but could take video later.

    Hi Shawn, I just saw your card. Curious.com finally gave teachers the capability to see cards just this week! Sore calves and peroneals indicate you're stiffening your torso too much. Watch our other videos, especially "Fixing 5 Common Mistakes..." to get the idea of what to do instead, and look at the attachments to the lessons. We have a "How to be a healthy runner" course coming soon too, so look for that. Good luck!
