Founder of MoveWell. Writes MoveWell's reviews, buying guides and movement guides.
Joel Runyon founded MoveWell and IMPOSSIBLE . After six months of training to run an ultra marathon on every continent, he sprained his ankle 26 miles into an ultra marathon in Chile and had to spend six more months rehabbing it. He created MoveWell to make recovery easy, with routines he would actually do while he recovered. Six months later, with mobility routines, strength work and a lot of running, he became the youngest person in the world to run an ultra marathon on every continent . The full story is on About MoveWell .

How he reviews
MoveWell doesn't run a testing lab. Unless a review says a person used the product, its verdict comes from published research, regulatory records and independent measurements, and the page says where each number came from. Every guide states its criteria before its picks, and commission is never one of them. MoveWell doesn't have a medical reviewer yet.
Read how we review for the grading scales and sources, and the editorial policy for independence, conflicts of interest and corrections. To report a mistake, email hello@movewellapp.com with the page address and what's wrong.
