How to run faster by keeping your body healthy with Eoin Everard


Listen Later

Running is the final leg of a triathlon and the one where most people seem to struggle. Whether that's because of a lack of running fitness or going too hard on the bike it’s a hard puzzle to solve. The obvious solution would be to just run more, but that does increase the risk of injury. Myself and many other coaches prefer to focus on consistency by building a robust framework combined with better technique and running efficiency.

Today's guest, Eoin Everard, is one such coach. An elite runner, now physiotherapist and back pain specialist from Ireland, Eoin knows a thing or two about running fast, having run under 4 minutes for a mile, 14 minutes for 5k, and 30 minutes for 10k, and competed for Ireland internationally. He also treats a lot of elite runners and knows a thing or two about how to keep runners healthy and consistent with their training.

I love chatting about how to help athletes get faster, and today as usual we cover plenty of ground, including:

  • Typical triathlon injuries and how to prevent them
  • Building running economy with strength training and some simple plyometrics
  • Should you change your foot strike to run faster
  • Why you should make proactive visits to your physiotherapist
  •
