Summary

In this episode, Matthew Boyd discusses the common issue of recurring injuries among runners, particularly as they prepare for races. He emphasizes that many runners experience injuries due to a mismatch between their training load and their training capacity.


Boyd explains that simply treating the symptoms of pain is not enough; instead, runners must focus on increasing their training capacity over time to prevent injuries. He offers strategies for doing so, including extending training plans and maintaining higher training loads.


Ultimately, he stresses the importance of a long-term approach to running to ensure longevity and health in the sport.


Takeaways

  • Injuries often occur when training load exceeds training capacity.
  • Many runners treat symptoms rather than addressing root causes.
  • Increasing training capacity is essential for injury prevention.
  • Long-term planning is crucial for successful race preparation.
  • Runners should start building capacity well before race training begins.
  • Reducing training load can lead to decreased capacity over time.
  • The cycle of injury can be broken with proper training strategies.
  • Older runners often have better health due to consistent training.
  • The 'danger of safety' can lead to reduced performance and injuries.
  • Runners need to prioritize their health to maintain longevity in the sport.
