Today's solo ep is all about tendons and optimal loading patterns. Lydia first runs you through her training update and reflections on her recent injury. Lots of reflections about identity, purpose and innate desire for progression. Following this the chat on tendons starts around 30 mins, which covers the essentials when it comes to tendon loading and rehab for runners. What I cover in this ep; - understanding lower limb tendons and their role in running - tendon adaptation to mechanical stimuli, tensile vs compressive vs shear forces - common runners mistakes - positive and maladaptive tendon adaptations - boom bust tendon pain trap for runners - running economy and tendon stiffness - exercise selection, rep ranges, frequency and load to build tendon capacity Resources: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4637912/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6737558/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35657492/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25267851/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12937029/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27747846/ You can find us here: Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@strongerstride⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@sophielane⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@lydia_mckay⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Discount Codes: TAILWINDSTRONG ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.tailwindnutrition.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for 15% off Tailwind's premium Hydration and Rebuild products!

Johanna Garton is a three-time author with her most recent book; All in Stride, released this month. Her book details the gripping and inspiring stories of elite runners Elvin and Shadrack. Beginning with their upbringing in Kenya, Garton follows the runners through their journeys to the United States, competing for Division One universities, their romance during college, and ultimately their service as U.S. soldiers and professional runners. More than just a running story, All in Stride takes readers behind the scenes to explore the difficulties Elvin and Shadrack faced, including adjusting to an entirely new culture in the U.S., bigotry and intolerance, the stresses and joys of global competitions like the Olympics, joining the U.S. Army’s World Class Athlete Program, and discovering the ever-changing landscape of what it means to be an American. Woven through the narrative is the story of Samantha Schultz, who competed in the sport of modern pentathlon for the U.S. Army. Sammy’s journey involved several obstacles including poor coaching, overtraining, the intense pressure to make the Olympic team and a dive into disordered eating, a condition that plagues so many young female athletes. In this conversation we discuss: - Johanna's background and early introduction to running - The stories of Shadrack & Elvin - The story-writing process - The challenges of "making it" as a professional runner And so much more.

139. Running A Marathon With Parkinsons Disease Dean Laws is an everyday Aussie bloke who got a heartbreaking diagnosis of Parkinsons disease at 52 years old. Today, 12 years later, he's run 2 marathons and claims to be in the best shape of his life. Dean tells about his sporty upbringing, competing in triathlon and his first Parkinsons symptoms. He delves into the process of diagnosis and the impact this had on his mental health as well as physcial symptoms. As someone who loved living an active life it was devastating to see it all start to slip away, with no possibility of cure. Dean didn't lose all hope though, he describes this turning point in the ep where he turned to his closest friends for support and decided he was going to put up a fight. We hear the story of seeking exercise intervention and the return to running and eventual completion of Sydney Marathon, a distance he'd never run even before his diagnosis. He since has founded 'The Dean Team' which is dedicated to helping people with Parkinsons live active, fulfilling and independent lives. They raise awareness and funds for Parkinson's research and support services. Dean is an inspiring man who shares a story of possibility, hope and transformation. A big message from this ep is the importance of seeking help and surrounding yourself with a community that can uplift you. We know you're going to love it.

*Interview starts at 22:30 Aidan Muir is an Accredited Sports Dietitian who has a passion for synthesising the most up to date evidence on nutrition to optimise performance for the everyday athlete. He has an absolute wealth of knowledge and we got to pick his brain on everything that a runner needs to know when it comes to food and diet around performance and overall health. We chat on; - wholefood carbs v simples sugars > performance + long term metabolic health - beetroot juice + caffeine dosage for race day - 'runners gut' adaptations + carb tolerance - fasting + fat adaptation for longer endurance races - why 'just winging it' for your carb load is likely to fail We loved chatting to Aidan and have already taken on some of his advice in our own training. Let us know if you try out any of his tips. Make sure you check out Aidan's website here https://www.idealnutrition.com.au/about/aidan-muir/ or his instagram @aidan_the_dietitian Thank you for all the ongoing support friends, it means so much!

If you've tried to get into running but just feel like every run is too hard and you can't get very far, maybe you just need to slow down! Understanding what easy, moderate and hard intensities should feel like is a fantastic way to take your training to the next level. In this episode, Sophie discusses what intensity is, why it matters and SIX different methods of measuring and prescribing it. Including: - The talk test - RPE - Heart rate - Lactate threshold - Pace - Power Links to referenced episodes: - Lactate threshold: https://open.spotify.com/episode/44y6Itxhu3p934rtufGYW2?si=necbJl3zQ3-MjIlr0WSzJg - Heat: https://open.spotify.com/episode/6YRhlc96fMmvgtbiM8mdaw?si=8vxExvndSxa10erXCFNZ8g

REGISTRATIONS OPEN 9am 16th January: www.coastalascent.com.au The Coastal Ascent is back on the 9th of June, 2024 with some super exciting updates. Recently announced as part of the Golden Trail Series, The Coastal Ascent will showcase Australia's best trail runners while also catering for those looking to complete their first event. There is going to be a HUGE 'party zone' halfway through the course which will allow runners to be supported by their run clubs, friends & family while also amping them up and lifting the energy massively. As Tom said; there are no rules! Music, cowbells, runners filled with adrenaline and a 400m loop that is sure to be the highlight of the day. There is a 50km, 25km, 11km, 5km & kids bolt race which means there is something for everyone! Plus, as an added bonus, the 50km runners get to go through the party zone TWICE! If that's not enough, the run also happens to land on a public holiday! Meaning it's an even better excuse for an epic weekend away in beautiful Newcastle. With the amount of thought, enthusiasm and knowledge that is going into this event we absolutely guarantee you can't miss this.

In Today's episode we chat to Hugh Mason; Exercise Physiologist and Strength & Conditioning Coach about his philosophy's on returning to running post-injury and rehabilitation more broadly. Specifically, we speak about how sleep and stress can delay the recovery process and why we need to look beyond the physical indications of injury. We also chat about how to schedule and structure your running and rehab sessions as well as some frameworks around returning to sport following an injury. It was a great conversation and we know you're going to take a lot away from what Hugh had to say.
