An old post that’s worth resharing as it’s one of the biggest frustrations for injured athletes.
Returning an endurance athlete back to full training and competition is as much an art as a science.
One strategy I use to test an athletes tolerance is the “3 to see” rule.

Unless you’re in a very specific training block, maybe some festive relaxed sessions (time dependent on current fitness) might be in order.
Just enjoy moving and being active.

Here’s one of the most common training errors that I see that leads to under performance / injury.
For the majority of us, it’s normal for life to get in the way of our training plans from time to time.
But if you’ve missed that session, then don’t chase it, don’t try to play catch up.

Some really insightful books here.
Would recommend them all. 📚

Runners & endurance athletes often ask me about about steroid injections, PRP, braces and other things to help their OA pain to allow them to keep active.
These things often don’t help, can be expensive and effects can be very short term.

I tell all my athletes that they are as much an athlete as the elites & Pro’s & that I’ll be treating / training them in exactly the same why.
That’s why it’s the name of the podcast!

Here’s some thoughts on why I think that way.

Returning to running from an injury or long layoff is often one of the easiest places to make mistakes and set yourself back.
Many people don’t know how to attempt that return and end up setting themselves back through aggravating their symptoms.

“I’m so stressed about this injury, my friend had this but is doing X amount of trg now,There’s no way I’ll compete with her next season….”
Everyone is on their own rehab path, you can’t compare them, tread your own path ,don’t worry about what others are doing, you can’t control or influence that.

Had a young athlete in clinic recently (consent gained to share), wanting an assessment due to a decrease in performance of late.
The parent was concerned there was an underlying injury or medical condition that maybe causing this & wanted to be assessed to see if I could identify anything.

Simple case study I wanted to share to show that we don’t need to make sweeping changes to help someone make a significant improvement.
I recently saw a runner who has returned to running after a period of lay off coupled with an increase in bodyweight of around 10 kg.

Be careful of off season single session spikes over the festive season.

It’s that time of year where I spend a bit longer with my patients designing plans to cover them for the Christmas period.
If you are early into a rehab programme then it’s important to find ways to keep rehabbing and receiving treatment over the next few weeks.

It’s that time of year many of us are hitting the trails, uneven surfaces and wet, slippery conditions.
Although these type of exercises are usually used in ankle sprain rehab, we should think about using them to ? reduce the risk of injury and improve performance at this time of year.

Many novice or new endurance athletes are unfortunate enough to be in a situation where the chances of picking up injuries & missing performance goals are potentially facilitated due to “the perfect storm” that’s been created in recent years.

When it comes to training & rehab, many people lose sight of quality work for quantity of work.
There’s a sweet spot that hits both of course, but be careful not to simply spend time doing lots of “something” that lacks real meaning, purpose & intent.
Less can definitely be more.
