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
