Just thought I’d share this study again in response to a patients Q earlier today regarding running in one shoe only vs rotating multiple pairs.

I’m a big fan of rotating between multiple “different” types of shoes to “ spread the load”.

1/4 #ukrunchat #run #Shoes #physio
We can’t remove forces and physics but we can be smart with them.

It’s a strategy I use myself.

Of course there are runners who use one pair and don’t get injured as well, there’s far more to this puzzle than simply changing shoes as I talk about often,

2/4
but maybe, for some, it’s something to think about trying alongside appropriate training and recovery.

It’s a far from perfect paper, as many are, and other confounders may apply but it’s a tactic some may wish to apply.

3/4
One area worth considering is that if you wear different types of shoes for different sessions, it may be the session type that is the difference not the shoe in any injury or risk reduction.

4/4

I was asked a brilliant Q today in an online chat with some newly qualified coaches.

What’s the key to success in endurance sports??

A thread……

1/11

It didn’t take me long to answer to be honest, I think it’s the same secret for all sports (and life in general!)

the key is simply to be consistent over a prolonged period - sustained / maintained consistency.

2/11
The successful athletes, and by that I mean relative success to the individual, not necessarily podium finishes per se, is that they are world class at doing the basics, rather than being basic at the world class things.

Many endurance athletes will be looking forward to returning to group and club sessions.

It’s an exciting time, it’s been too long for most of us since we trained together, with friends and team mates.

1/6 @IronmanAthletes #UKRunChat #UKTriChat
But please take a moment to just assess where you are as an athlete right now?

We’ve probably all grown tired of that phrase “the new normal”, but it’s actually appropriate here when we think about returning to group sessions.

2/6
Have you done more, less, or stayed the same over the last 12 months?

Are you the same athlete as the one who attended the last sessions?

Are the people you plan to train with the same?

I really wish therapists and coaches would stop fear mongering by telling healthy people their “glutes don’t work”.

1/
They may be weaker than optimally wanted in some cases, but, and it’s a big but, glutes don’t work ONLY in the case of spinal cord injury, neurological deficit and extreme invalidity occasionally.

2/
In short, if you can get up from a chair without help, then your glutes work, let alone run, swim or cycle!🤯

Some training may help optimise them of course, but please don’t think your glutes don’t work!🤦🏻‍♂️
