How do I get my speed back after an injury? | with Brodie Sharpe, Physiotherapist

I was recently invited on Brodie Sharpe’s ⁠Run Smarter Podcast⁠ to chat about returning to speed and hill training after injury.

We took a deep dive into the topic of injury prevention and discussed safe ways to return to hills and speed. We explored the biomechanics and common injuries associated with downhill running, such as IT band syndrome and patella femoral pain. As well as Achilles tendon and proximal hamstring tendon issues caused by uphill running.

We discussed evidence-based guidance on gradually building capacity and monitoring pain levels through the use of pain traffic lights. As well as the “Adaptive Zone” approach and the concept of the rehab ladder for safely progressing runs.
