Summary
In this conversation, Matthew Boyd discusses the three things needed to get back to full training after a running injury. Using the metaphor of a mountain climber, he explains that strength, endurance, and support are essential for recovery. He provides examples of common running injuries, such as runner's knee, Achilles tendinopathy, and shin splints, and explains how the same three principles apply to each.
Boyd then outlines a general rehabilitation strategy, including strength training and gradually increasing running volume and speed. He emphasizes the importance of seeking support, whether through educational resources or professional guidance, to ensure successful recovery.
