I usually agree with Alex's philosophy regarding strength training on everything except his idea on the importance of the tibialis muscle. I believe this is a much needed routine for any athletes and runners that run in their sport. Aside from my running mechanics and technique issues I had with running had I trained my tibs aside from backwards running I think I would have been significantly less injured throughout my life, especially with the knee pain I always had as a kid.

Tibial raises is a fad, it has it's uses in some cases. But he has been waayyy over blown and takes the focuse away of the things that matter. people in this country are to easily fooled and easy to fleece.
