About this episode
We get honest about why runners keep picking up the same injuries and why the fix is rarely just “rest more”. With Dr Ben Bumguardner, we break down under-recovery, smarter strength work, and a resilience approach that helps us run consistently without constantly breaking down.
• underfueling as a common root cause of stress reactions and stress fractures
• repetitive microtrauma and why sudden load spikes break runners
• protein, carbs and fats as practical building blocks for tissue repair
• sleep consistency as the simplest lever for deeper recovery
• using unilateral strength training to spot side-to-side gaps
• the difference between being hurt and being injured
• the day four soreness check as a simple rule of thumb
• what multidisciplinary care means in plain English and why it works best
• the resilience training model: demands, limitations, calming tissues, loading, monitoring
• return-to-running progression starting at roughly 50% of prior volume
