Every fall, runners from across the Midwest gather in Lincoln, Nebraska, for the Good Life Halfsy—a 13.1-mile celebration of endurance, spirit, and community. Whether you’re chasing a personal record or soaking up the lively atmosphere along the course, success on race day starts well before the starting line. That’s where Adjusted Life Chiropractic and the Torque Release Technique come in.
Why the Good Life Halfsy Is More Than Just a Race
The Good Life Halfsy isn’t your average half marathon. With high energy cheer zones, creative signage, a fast downhill finish, and an enthusiastic local crowd, this race captures everything runners love: challenge, support, and fun.
But it also demands preparation. Logging the miles is crucial, but optimizing your body’s function and recovery can be the key to reaching that next level.
Enter: Torque Release Technique
At Adjusted Life Chiropractic, we specialize in Torque Release Technique (TRT)—a cutting-edge, neurologically-based chiropractic method. Unlike traditional manual adjustments, TRT is a gentle, precise technique that uses an instrument to make subtle corrections to the spine, targeting areas that interfere with the nervous system.
So, how does this help runners?
1. Enhanced Nervous System Function
TRT helps clear interference in the nervous system, which governs everything from muscle coordination to organ function. For runners, that means improved communication between the brain and body, resulting in better muscle recruitment, balance, and movement efficiency.
2. Injury Prevention & Faster Recovery
Long training cycles put stress on joints, muscles, and ligaments. Torque Release can improve spinal alignment, reduce inflammation, and promote quicker recovery—keeping you consistent and injury-free throughout your training block.
3. Stress Reduction
Let’s be honest—half marathon training, work, and life stress can pile up. TRT has been shown to lower cortisol levels and activate the parasympathetic nervous system, helping your body recover, rest, and regulate more effectively.
4. Improved Biomechanics
When your spine and nervous system are functioning properly, your body is better able to move the way it was designed to. This leads to a more efficient stride, better posture, and less energy wasted with each step. All key components to shaving minutes off your finish time.
