About this listen
If you’ve been told to stop running because of injury, illness, travel, surgery, or just life being life, your first instinct is usually, “I don’t want to lose my fitness.”
That makes sense. But fitness is only one part of what makes you feel good when you run.
In this episode, I unpack the four key ingredients that help you still feel like a runner when you return:
- aerobic fitness
- strength
- tendon stiffness and elastic energy return
- tissue tolerance to running loads
We cover why cross-training can maintain fitness but still leave you feeling flat, clunky, and heavy when you get back to running, and what to focus on instead so your return feels smoother, stronger, and more springy.
If you’re in a phase where you can’t run right now, this episode will help you think differently about what to train and why.
