In this episode, Mikki and Jess talk about the real side of training for an ultra—injuries, setbacks, and the science-backed ways to support recovery. Mikki shares her recent hamstring tear and the mental battle of cutting a long run short just weeks before race day. From dry needling and physiotherapy to the surprisingly simple collagen and vitamin C protocol, they break down how athletes can use nutrition to accelerate healing in tendons and ligaments. The conversation also dives into timing, dosing, and why exercise is essential to “traffic” nutrients where they’re needed most. If you’ve ever been sidelined by injury, this episode gives both practical tips and reassurance that progress isn’t lost.
