Podcasts about Running injuries

I sat down live in Napa Valley with Shannon Rowbury and Jessica Dorrington, co-authors of the new book Strong as a Mother. We recorded this conversation at the Napa Valley Marathon expo, and it centers on what it looks like to return to running after pregnancy, rebuild after injury, and support athletes through every stage of motherhood and performance. Shannon is a three-time Olympian and Olympic bronze medalist in the 1500 meters. Her medal came years after the 2012 Olympic final, when multiple athletes ahead of her were later disqualified for doping. In this conversation, she reflects on that experience and the complicated reality of receiving an Olympic medal long after the race is over. Jessica Dorrington is a board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist and pelvic health physical therapist who works with many elite runners. She shares practical, grounded insight on postpartum recovery, pelvic health, and how athletes can safely return to running after pregnancy or injury. Together, Shannon and Jess talk about the inspiration behind Strong as a Mother, why better education around postpartum recovery is so needed in sport, and how runners can approach their comeback with patience, perspective, and the right support. We also talk about Shannon's career, the emotional complexity of elite competition, and the importance of understanding the body through every phase of life. This episode is part of my weekend at the Napa Valley Marathon, where I had the chance to serve as race emcee and host conversations with athletes and leaders in the running community. Topics covered: Longevity in running and what helps you keep running for decades Why consistency matters more than any one perfect week of training Recovery as a key part of performance How training needs change as you age Strength training, calf strength, plyometrics, and core work for runners Injury setbacks and using them as opportunities to learn more about your body Shannon Rowbury's femoral neck stress fracture in college and comeback to make her first Olympic team The role of biomechanics, leg length differences, orthotics, and maintenance work in staying healthy Postpartum return to running and why timelines are highly individual What happens to the abdominal wall and pelvic floor during pregnancy and postpartum Why more women are returning to elite running after having babies The lack of pregnancy and postpartum resources for athletes and why Strong as a Mother was written Pelvic floor health for runners and why it matters for both women and men Shannon Rowbury's delayed Olympic bronze medal from the 2012 1500m Doping in sport and the emotional impact of delayed justice The importance of clean sport, reform, and fighting for integrity in athletics Mental preparation for racing, including visualization, positive cue words, breathing, and smiling Race-day strategies for handling hills, fueling, and staying mentally engaged late in the race Why menstruation is an important indicator of athlete health Low energy availability, RED-S, sleep, and early warning signs for high school and young female runners Sign up for the Marathon Project!

Physiotherapist and PhD researcher Laura Anderson just published a paper arguing that "medial tibial stress syndrome" is a 'garbage' name that's been freaking runners out and leading to terrible treatment for decades. Her proposed replacement? Load-Induced Medial Leg Pain (LIMP). Yes, LIMP, pun not intended. The Problem: "Tibial stress" makes everyone think bone stress injury → stress fracture → panic → rest for months Clinicians still aggressively massage shins until they're bruised People rest for months and it comes right back when they start running again It's one of the most common running injuries and we have almost zero quality research on it What It Is: Not a bone stress injury on a fracture continuum Doesn't get worse if you keep running (unlike actual bone stress injuries) We honestly don't know exactly what tissues are involved (probably multiple) Imaging usually shows nothing useful The fix?

The Walk-Run Routine is likely the most overprescribed and least understood plan for returning to running after an overtraining injury like a metatarsal stress fracture for a plantar plate sprain.    But the commutative forces that result from that specific routine may put your foot at unnecessary risk of re-injury. Understanding how and why those unique stresses happen may help you make better decisions about your first few runs after you feel your stress fracture or plantar plate sprain has healed enough to resume running.    Today on the Doc On The Run podcast, we're talking about the worst thing about walk run routine after running injury.

The half-ass boot routine is no good. Slow improvement with unnecessarily increased risk of atrophy, weakness, stiffness, loss of neuromuscular connections, and destruction of your running form. Your running form, your strength, your flexibility, all protect you from another overtraining injury.    When you wear a fracture walking boot for a long time inconsistently, or a long time walking on it, you're going to get more of those bad things.    The other thing that is good, the sort of polar opposite of that, is a half-ass weight routine.  Whaat is that? And more importantly, why would that be good?   Today on the doc on the Run podcast, we're talking about half boot versus half weight when you're recovering from a running injury.

In this week's episode, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Dr. Kate Edwards, a physical therapist with more than 15 years of experience and someone who brings so much compassion and clarity to the running community. From the very beginning, I knew this conversation would resonate deeply with runners who struggle with identity, injury, stress, or the constant pressure to “do it all.”Kate shares how her journey into running medicine was shaped not only by her clinical background but also by her own experiences navigating significant health challenges. That perspective gives her a rare depth of understanding — one that so many runners will feel seen and supported by.We spend a lot of time talking about athletic identity, because it's something I see runners wrestle with every single day. It's so easy for running to become the biggest part of who we are… until something shifts. Injury, life changes, burnout, or even a tough training cycle can shake that identity. Kate and I dig into why building a more balanced sense of self not only supports your emotional well-being but also plays a major role in injury prevention and longevity in the sport.We also explore the true complexity of running injuries, RED-S, stress, fueling (especially for female runners), and why understanding yourself as a whole human — not just an athlete — is essential for long-term health. Kate does an incredible job unpacking these topics in a way that feels both empowering and practical, giving runners a clearer picture of how their body, mind, and lifestyle all fit together.If you've ever felt “less than” when you're not running your best, or if you're craving a more sustainable, joyful relationship with your training, this conversation is absolutely for you.Connect with Dr. Kate Edwards:https://www.fastbananas.com/ https://www.instagram.com/katemihevcedwards/05:22 The Importance of Athletic Identity12:01 The Impact of Injury on Identity13:41 Finding New Outlets and Coping Strategies23:00 Understanding Running Injuries26:30 The Role of Physical Therapists28:13 Stress and Its Impact on Runners35:51 Understanding Relative Energy Deficiency in SpJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

Runners glorify the suffering needed to keep moving in spite of pain, and the payoff is almost always increased fitness, and improvements and mental fortitude needed for running endurance. No pain, no gain is a terrible approach when you are an injured runner. If you really want to get back to training, racing in full return to running fitness as fast as possible after a running injury you have to stop causing pain in that one injured part. Do not confuse that with stopping running-related exercise. That's the lazy doctor's way.  In this episode, we discuss a different, better approach for runners. 

In this practical episode for runners, PT and runner Dr. Rob Berghorn (Endurance Unleashed) joins Coach Chris to break down the need-to-know of efficient, pain-free running. We cover beginner to advanced cues, cadence targets, ground contact time, uphill/downhill technique, shoe selection vs. trends, when (and how) to use insoles, year-round strength training, and smart warm-up/cool-down routines. If your watch is spitting out numbers and you're not sure which ones matter—or you want fewer niggles and more speed—this one's for you. Key takeaways:Start simple: build consistency (2–3x/week), try a run-walk approach, progress gradually. Cadence sweet spot: generally ~160–180 spm; use music or a metronome to train it. Ground contact time: aim roughly ~0.21–0.31 sec; shorter = less braking & stress. Hills: up = shorter, quicker steps; down = avoid hard braking; control with choppy steps if needed. Shoes: fit first (width & length); don't chase trends; rotate models; use insoles as a tool, not a crutch. Strength all year (free weights, single-leg control) to prevent common hip/knee/foot issues. Always warm up (5+ min, dynamic) and cool down to speed recovery.Send us a text Support the show

Most of the time, the common running injures are a result of running. But not always. Sometimes a major factor of an injury can be traced back to how we live our daily lives.

Are your running shoes "dead" at 500 miles? Many runners lose sleep over the famous mileage rule, treating it as a non-negotiable expiration date. In this episode, we deconstruct the infamous 300 to 500-mile myth and expose how the running industry's business model of planned obsolescence has influenced this idea. We'll dive into the real science of shoe breakdown—from midsole compression to a runner's unique biomechanics—to uncover why a one-size-fits-all mileage rule is deeply flawed.Instead of a number, we give you the practical tools to know when a shoe is truly worn out. Learn the key signs of fatigue and discover why your body is the ultimate sensor for shoe health. We also explore the proven benefits of a shoe rotation for extending the life of your gear and reducing your risk of injury. Join us to change your mindset, save money, and gain a new perspective on your most essential piece of running equipment.SourcesGlobal Running Shoe Market Value: Grand View Research.

He emphasizes the importance of understanding the injury's capacity, adjusting training plans accordingly, and maintaining a focus on gradual recovery. The discussion covers the significance of pain management, the adaptive zone, and the necessity of a structured recovery plan to prevent further injury and ensure a return to optimal performance.TakeawaysRecovery from a mild running injury requires understanding its capacity.Pain management is crucial in determining training adjustments.Training should be adjusted based on the injury's behavior.The adaptive zone indicates progress in recovery.Gradual increase in training intensity is essential.Resting without assessment can hinder recovery.Injury management should focus on capacity, not just diagnosis.Using running as rehab can be effective if done correctly.Maintaining a training plan is important but must be flexible.Consulting with experts can enhance recovery strategies.

This week on the Shakeout Podcast we're joined by Justyn Knight, Olympic finalist, multi-time NCAA Division 1 national champion, and the second fastest man in Canadian history over 5000m. After a devastating injury sustained at the 5000m final at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 kept Knight off the track for nearly 4 years, he's back competing against the world's best in 2025. Fresh off a podium-performance at the Canadian championships and a 13:03 clocking in the 5k just days ago in Europe, Knight joins the show to talk about the long road back to the top of the distance running world. Following years of injury, and a move across the continent to train alongside Canadian record holder Moh Ahmed as part of the Oregon-based Nike Swoosh Track Club, the Toronto-born Knight is still chasing the same lofty goals as ever, albeit with a perspective that's been formed in the trials of the past several years.Follow Justyn @justyn.knight Subscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.Follow The Shakeout Podcast @shakeoutpodcast

Ellie Greenwood is ultra running royalty. I also got the impression from our chat that she's incredibly humble and I suspect that description may not sit comfortably with her  — but it's the truth.A 2x winner of one of the world's most famous and revered races, the Western States Endurance Run 100 (that's 100mi/160km).In 2012, she also smashed the course record — a record that stood for 11 years and was only broken in 2023 by Courtney Dauwalter!She's also a 2x winner of the World 100km Championship and in 2014 she also won the Comrades Marathon, an 89km race in South Africa, regarded as the world's oldest and largest ultramarathon.While we touch on those races in this conversation, we spend much of our time behind-the-scenes, with Ellie sharing:- how her athletic identity changed from someone who ran for fun to that of a ‘semi-professional' and potential winner,- how you don't need to have the ‘perfect race' to achieve the best result you can,- her struggle with injuries and her advice on how to get your running ‘fix' when you're injured and how to remain optimistic when you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel,- how it took her 2nd win at the Western States 100 for her to finally call herself a 100-mile runner, and- whether she secretly crosses her fingers and hopes that no-one breaks her record at the Western States 100 each year.

This week's show brought to you by: Ketone-IQ You may have read a lot the last few years about the benefits of ketones for endurance performance, such as mitochondrial efficiency and glycogen sparing. Your body uses ketones for energy typically during fasting, long periods of exercise, or when you don't have as many carbohydrates. The problem is that you typically need to severely reduce your carbohydrate intake in order to take advantage of them, which is difficult to sustain, even for the most dedicated runner. But, thanks to Ketone-IQ you quickly deliver ketones to your bloodstream, putting you into ketosis within minutes without the need to fast, restrict calories or carbs, or exercise away your glycogen stores. And the academic literature on the effectiveness of ketones for running performance is overwhelming.  For example, a 2021 study demonstrated that the ingestion of ketones improved mitochondrial efficiency by 7% and 2019 study concluded that using ketones significantly enhanced endurance performance while minimizing overtraining. If you want to see more of the research, head to ketone.com/RTTT Plus, for a limited time you can save 30% off your first subscription order & receive a free six pack of Ketone-IQ by going ketone.com/RTTT. That's K-E-T-O-N-E dot com slash RTTT. MAS NAD+ for Runners Did you know that by Age 40, your NAD+ levels can be half of what they were at 20? And they only go downhill from there. This is important because lower NAD+ levels have been shown in research to impact some of the hallmarks of aging such as reduced muscle strength, lower mitochondrial performance and overall energy. But, just because NAD+ levels decline with age doesn't mean you have to accept it. NAD+ from MAS Edge is a groundbreaking formula that can increase your NAD+ levels by 67%. Their unique formula enhances absorption by 71% and increases uptake and utilization in the body by 167% compared to generic NAD+ supplements. This means you can slow muscle loss, improve recovery, increase your energy levels, and fight aging at the cellular level. You can check out the results yourself at masedge.com/nad. Plus, runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. If you're ready to fight all the typical signs of aging and feel a decade younger, this is no-brainer.

Slumber There's no denying that sleep is one of the most powerful factors to upgrading your overall health and running performance.  We all know it by now, but sometimes no matter how well-intentioned we are; getting good, quality sleep doesn't come easy.  Sometimes you can't get your mind to relax, other times you toss and turn all night. One way or another, it all leads to poor quality sleep.  That's why we've partnered with Slumber, the leader in science-backed sleep supplements using CBN.  CBN is a hemp-derived melatonin alternative which promotes rest, relaxation, and sleep.  And it works.  In a recent 2024 study, participants who used Slumbers Deep Zzzs CBN Gummies for 30 days reported significant improvements in time to sleep, got 72 minutes of extra deep, and reported waking up 1.5 less times per night on average.  What I love most is that you can mix and match different formulations to specifically address your goals or your own struggles with sleep.  If you want to see the research and learn more about how these amazing CBN gummies can help improve your sleep, head to slumbercbn.com/runnersconnect  Plus, this link will get you 30% off. 

Just about every runner has made the mistake of going too fast on a recovery run and paid the price. There's a lot of things that we know we should do as runners and still get them wrong.  Coach Jeff brings his years of coaching experience to the show to share why runners make these 5 easy to fix mistakes: Overdoing recovery runs Ineffective strength training Rationalizing not having enough time Running through injury Eating the wrong fuel before and after training You might think this list looks basic, and you'd be right. Even veteran runners screw up the easy stuff sometimes and fixing them can help you to make massive performance gains.

This week's show brought to you by: MAS Iron Outside of training deficiencies, low iron is one of the most common reasons for poor results during workouts and races.  Recent research indicates that almost 56% of male runners and 86% of female runners suffer from an iron deficiency that severely hampers performance. The problem with eating iron-rich foods or supplementing with traditional iron supplements is that iron is notoriously difficult for the body to absorb and utilize. In fact, only about 25% of dietary iron found in animal sources is absorbed while 17% or less of the iron from plant sources is absorbed. But MAS Iron has found a way to combat these absorption issues to ensure you can get the iron you need for health and performance. By combining the most efficiently absorbed form of elemental iron with clinically proven ingredients to aid in absorption, MAS Iron performs like no other iron product on the market. In fact, clinical research has shown the combination of ingredients in MAS Iron can quadruple absorption and increase bioavailability by 30%, all while reducing GI issues by 50%. Check out the research and the results for yourself at masedge.com/iron. Runnersconnect fans will automatically save 20% on any purchase. Previnex Joint Health Plus Joint Health Plus from Previnex is clinically proven to reduce joint pain, joint stiffness,and improve joint flexibility in 7-10 days.  In fact, it is clinically proven to be up to 5 times more beneficial than glucosamine and chondroitin alone or in combination. I saw immediate results when I started using Joint Health Plus and that's why I reached out to Previnex to see if we could put together an offer for you guys.

Naturally, as great as they are, they do not cover absolutely everything in as great detail as we can do in a 45-90 minute podcast episode.  The shownotes for today's episode can be found at www.scientifictriathlon.com/tts459/LINKS AND RESOURCES: Matt's website (Alpha Project Phyzio & Performance), Instagram and YoutubeBuilt To Run - Matt's bookWHAT SHOULD I LISTEN TO NEXT?If you enjoyed this episode, I think you'll love the following episodes: Injury prevention and rehabilitation with James Debenham, PhD | EP#209Brad Beer | EP#396Matt Pendola | EP#387Injury prevention, strength training, and running biomechanics with Eoin Everard, PhD | EP#336Run training load, biomechanics, and injury risk with Max Paquette, PhD | EP#321You can find our full episode archives here, where you can filter for categories such as Training, Racing, Science & Physiology, Swimming, Cycling, Running etc.You can also find separate archives for specific series of episodes I've done, specifically Q&A episodes, TTS Thursday episodes, and Beginner Tips episodes. LEARN MORE ABOUT SCIENTIFIC TRIATHLON: The Scientific Triathlon website is the home of That Triathlon Show and everything else that we doContact us through our contact form or email me directly (note - email/contact form messages get responded to much more quickly than Instagram DMs)Subscribe to our NewsletterFollow us on InstagramLearn more about our coaching, training plans, and training camps.

No matter what injury you have, it could be a stress fracture or it could be tendinitis or it could be a sprained ligament, but whatever you do you have to sure you don't get re-injured, because that could be brutally demoralizing! Because most runners think jogging is a lot easier than “real running” you might presume it's a lot safer for you to just start jogging to test out your state of recovery. Today on the Doc On The Run Podcast, we're talking about why jogging is a terrible way to test the state of healing of a running injury.

Whether you have an injury now—or one is lurking in the future—you'll find this episode fascinating. Along with hosts Sarah Bowen Shea and Tish Hamilton, guest Kate Mihevc Edwards, PT, DPT, a running medicine practitioner and founder of the RUNsource app, explains:  -the continued prevalence of running injuries;  -how medical misinformation innocently gets spread among runners; -the value of a practitioner who understands athletic identity;  -why fueling regularly throughout the day is so critical; and, -why she keeps her injured runners running.   Before the physical therapist joins the conversation around 11:57, Tish talks about the Savannah Book Festival.    When you shop our sponsors, you help AMR.
