The overpronation myth - what the running shoe brands will NEVER tell you - with Nick Knight from NK Active, one of the UK’s leading musculoskeletal and rehabilitation clinics. Nick shares the latest science which clearly states that overpronation is not a 'thing' and it doesn't cause injury. If you have a niggle or an injury it's much more likely to be a result of increasing your training load too rapidly and not doing 18mins of strength work 3 times a week, plus other important training aspects that are often overlooked like sleeping and eating well. Luckily Nick reveals the top 3 things we can do to avoid or reduce injury and the best 3 quick & easy strength exercises.

Howdie folks, yes it's me the creator of Wild Ginger Running and nope I have not always loved running! We were introduced at school and it kinda ruined it for me as you will find out in this podcast. Then Nik asks me lots of questions about how I got to be editing Trail Running magazine 2010-2017, setting up Wild Ginger Running YouTube channel and podcast and writing my book, the Ultimate Trail Running Handbook, plus my 3 top tips for running motivation. Enjoy! Claire
