Join us as we chat with the incredible Mani Ovola, a Nike trainer whose journey from being inspired by the 2012 Olympic, he shares how his transformation led to a powerful philosophy: using sport as a lifestyle to inspire and develop others.
We'll learn how he's challenging traditional long-distance running culture with innovative approaches that emphasise quality over sheer mileage. We also dive into the role of physiotherapy in running and discover how integrating diverse data—like sleep and hormonal balances—can improve your training.
Mani offers his expert insights on what it takes to tailor your running journey, whether you're an elite athlete or a weekend warrior. We'll explore the significance of personalised training plans and discuss the art of balancing internal and external pressures. From injury prevention to the nuances of load tolerance and bespoke information, Mani's advice is designed to elevate your running experience. Plus, we touch on the often overlooked importance of strength training, revealing key exercises that enhance performance and prevent injuries.
In a world where data and technology are revolutionising sports, we explore the fascinating intersection of running performance and footwear innovation. Mani sheds light on the concept of periodising shoes and the resilience of East African athletes, offering a fresh perspective on running mechanics. We also take a closer look at the community-driven initiative, LDN SLCT, where personal stories of overcoming injuries become a testament to the power of community.
Join us for an episode filled with inspiration, expert advice, and innovative ideas that promise to transform your running journey.
