About this listen

Injury risk in runners is rarely about one single factor.
It’s usually the result of how load, recovery, stress, and strength interact over time.

In this episode, I break down six evidence-informed factors that consistently show up in the research on running injuries, and more importantly, how they can be applied in the real world.

We cover:

  • How to use pain as a guide without fear
  • Why strength training matters for injury risk, not just performance
  • How diversifying load can reduce repeated tissue stress
  • The role of sleep in recovery and injury risk
  • Why psychological stress matters, and what actually helps
  • How to prioritise what matters when time and energy are limited

This is not about doing everything perfectly.
It’s about understanding what actually influences injury risk, and making small, sustainable decisions that support long-term training.

A short, practical episode for runners who want clarity, not noise.
