AidStation 002 – So, You Can Run 100 Miles, But You Can’t Do Your Calf Raises. Why are runners so bad at managing injury?
So we’ve all been there, perjuring ourselves in the (insert health professional of choice) office: “Of COURSE I’ve been doing my prescribed rehabilitation (look of pained innocence)
“And NO I absolutely have NOT been running outside of my prescribed guideline …” Only to hop up onto the table and have our muscles tell the truth or fold like an origami crane when asked to display said excercise.
Why do we do it to ourselves? This constant self-delusion? What is behind most runners resolute terribleness at prescribed rehab — or even acknowledgment there’s a problem?
On this episode of the subscriber-only DCR AidStation podcast, Eugene and Matt run down their history with illness and injury and offer themselves as tribute on where they sit on the bell-curve from “Good at Rehab” to *spoiler* “Matt Rayment”.
They discuss injury, illness (both acute and chronic) and what has been shown to work, and not work, if it is better to be seriously injured rather that having a pesky re-occurrence, is it better to be a fast or slow adapter, and why it’s best not to write important correspondence whilst on opioids.
Our Bonus AidStation Treat: Some sound advice from Tarawera champ and good sort Dan Jones as he prepares for the race after catching Covid.
Whakarongo mai! Listen up!
