223. Running Biomechanics, Gait Re-training, Training Load & Injury Risk in Runners

Does how you run impact your risk of injury? How much can you safely increase your training before your risk of injury starts to climb?

In this episode, we dive into the research on running biomechanics, training volume and practical implications on risk of injury; exploring what the evidence actually says (and what social media often gets wrong).

We discuss the evidence we have for running biomechanics and explain how clinicians and runners alike can interpret data to reduce injury risk without falling into oversimplified conclusions.

We discuss:• How running injury risk changes with increases in training volume• What the research says about 10%, 20%, and 30% load increases• Running biomechanics and how they influence running injury risk; hip drop, pronation, cadence and footstrike• The evidence for gait-retraining, cadence, running cues and knee pain

If you’ve ever wondered how you running form influences your injury risk, then this is the episode for you.

We are dispelling myths and getting to the core of what the research says. This episode will help you see the science more clearly and apply it more practically.
