In this episode, I sit down for a chat with a returning guest- Sports Podiatrist, Triathlon Coach and Triathlete Ryan Twist. Ryan is a Kona Ironman World Championships finisher and has over 10 years of practice as a Sports Podiatrist, having treated a large number of endurance athletes in his work.

We chat about a topic that majority of endurance athletes are familiar with, but one that no athlete wants to have anything to do with: Bone Stress Injuries.

In this episode, Ryan explains how to manage training loads minimise risk of a stress injury, how to recognise stress-injury symptoms and why it is so important to get on it earlier rather than later.
