There’s so much nuance when it comes to endurance sports injury.
Nothing is black and white, here’s a good example 👟

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.

I see too many endurance athletes working on static core work when in essence we are always striving to have dynamic control and strength.
It may be a good place to start, but ultimately most may want to progress to a more relevant type of work.

It’s easy to focus solely on the pain, injury, healing times etc when injured.
For many their identify, social network, and support structure is woven into their sport.
It’s vital to consider all of the effects injury may have on an individual & factor this into the plan.

Im a huge fan of rest when it comes to training, but much less so when it comes to rehab.
Why?.....
Because it’s the easiest and most common mistake I see injured athletes make.
“I’ve got pain, I’ll rest for a few weeks, my pain will settle and I’ll just start training again”......

Unfortunately they aren’t well supported for predicting injury or performance.

Failed rehab.
There’s two words I really dislike.
It’s a throw away comment from patient and therapist alike.
Scratching the surface will almost always reveal simple things on both sides that could and should have been done better.

Recent years have seen a lot of attention around the amount of drop in a running shoe which has led to many questions of whether this influences injury risk.
Research indicates no significant difference in injury rate based on different drop sizes in hundreds of runners.

Right now 10 minutes in a bin of ice because some influencer said “it boosts recovery and performance” seems to be all the rage.
This is helped by the multitude of offers and discounts on home units available.

Here’s a great Q I was asked on a recent webinar about winter trg.
The answer is it depends, some like to stay in tune with the transition between bike and run and like to keep them in, for those, I tend to schedule one every 2-3 weeks.
