From bone health and marathon pacing to hamstring flexibility and recovery tools, these findings reveal how science can help you train smarter and avoid common pitfalls. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Bone Health in Distance Runners Why running alone isn’t always enough for strong bones, and the crucial roles of nutrition, vitamin D, strength training, and recovery. Learn the red flags—like stress fractures and missed periods—that signal compromised bone health. The Science of Negative Splits in Marathons How running the second half faster than the first can preserve glycogen, improve thermoregulation, reduce cardiac drift, and even protect your biomechanics. Plus, practical training strategies to master pacing discipline. Hamstring Flexibility & Performance A small but insightful study shows how hamstring tightness may reduce quadriceps strength—but doesn’t necessarily affect speed or endurance. What this means for your strength balance, mobility work, and injury prevention. Foam Rolling vs Massage Guns for DOMS Which recovery tool actually works? Foam rolling improved muscle tone, elasticity, and stiffness faster than rest, but neither reduced soreness compared to doing nothing. Find out what this means for your post-run recovery routine. Key Takeaways for Runners: Fuel properly—low energy availability harms bone health. Strength training twice a week boosts bone density and performance. A slight negative split is often the optimal marathon pacing strategy. Hamstring flexibility supports strength balance but doesn’t guarantee speed gains. Foam rolling may help restore function, but don’t expect it to erase soreness.…

The paper explores how male and female tendons differ in structure, adaptation, healing, and injury risk—and what it means for those dealing with tendinopathy. 🔍 What You’ll Learn Key structural differences between male and female tendons (size, stiffness, collagen synthesis) Why female tendons may stretch more but adapt less to training How men and women respond differently to tendon rehab protocols Surprising findings about pain, healing, and tendon blood flow Whether injury prevention or rehab should differ based on sex 📌 Key Takeaways Female tendons are more compliant, have lower stiffness, and show slower collagen production—even at rest. Male tendons respond more favorably to traditional rehab (like eccentric loading), often reporting greater pain reduction and functional improvements. Despite men experiencing more frequent tendon injuries in some data, women may be closer to their strain “danger zone” during exercise , possibly increasing injury risk. Women may need longer rehab timelines , heavier resistance training (beyond just eccentrics), and closer attention to recovery, nutrition, and hormonal cycles. Men should be cautious about overloading tendons due to higher force-generating capacity and should still progress gradually. 💡 For Runners With Tendinopathy Don’t compare your progress to someone of the opposite sex— recovery is sex-specific . Trust the process : healing may be happening at a microscopic level even if pain relief is slow. Tailor your rehab by considering not just gender, but also age, training history, injury severity, and more.…

After years of red-lining every session, feeling fatigued, and struggling with motivation, Zoe had a revelation that changed everything. In this episode, she shares what triggered this shift, how removing the pressure of apps like Strava helped, and what it actually feels like to run slow enough to enjoy the process and stay consistent. 💡 Key Takeaways: Slowing Down Can Speed You Up: Running slower than you think you “should” may be the key to unlocking consistency and long-term improvement. Strava & Social Pressures: Public tracking apps can subconsciously push you into unsustainable efforts. Zoe ditched Strava and focused on how running felt rather than how it looked . Enjoyment Fuels Consistency: For the first time, running became enjoyable — not a chore. Zoe looked forward to her runs instead of dreading them. Signs You’re Running Too Hard: You constantly red-line You struggle to breathe or feel exhausted post-run You feel unmotivated to start your runs Tips for Running Slow Enough: Try “embarrassingly slow” pace for recovery runs Sing a line of a song as a breathing test Focus on how your legs and breath feel, not your watch Finish feeling like you could do it again The 80/20 Rule: About 80% of your weekly mileage should be at low intensity — slow enough to hold a conversation or feel relaxed throughout 🧠 Reflection Prompts: Are you genuinely running slow enough on your easy days? Do apps or social comparison affect your running intensity? Would removing pressure improve your enjoyment and consistency?…

Learn more about Brodie's Research Database & AI Assistant 📄🔍 In this episode, Brodie dives into three new studies aimed at helping runners prevent injury and understand how tech and biomechanics affect performance. Whether you're a recreational runner or an aspiring marathoner, these findings offer practical, science-backed takeaways. Featured Studies & Key Insights Asymmetry & Bone Stress Injuries Study Title: Can biomechanical variables and asymmetry predict bone stress injuries in collegiate distance runners? ✅ Key Finding: Even small left-to-right asymmetries may increase injury risk — particularly for female runners. 🧍‍♂️ Implication: Asymmetry under 10% was still meaningful in injury prediction. Don’t ignore minor imbalances in cadence, step length, or ground reaction force. 🧠 Tip: Wearables that track contact time or vertical oscillation may help identify early imbalances before pain begins. Strength & Flexibility Self-Assessments for Marathoners Study Title: Strength and Flexibility Self-Assessment and Subsequent Training Injuries Among Recreational Runners of the NYC Marathon ✅ Key Finding: The single-leg glute bridge was the only test significantly associated with injury risk. ❌ Flexibility tests (sit & reach, quad stretch) and other strength tests (planks, heel raises, push-ups) had no predictive value . 🏠 DIY Test: If you can’t hold a single-leg glute bridge for >20 seconds on your weaker side , your injury risk may be higher. Super Shoes & Injury Risk Study Title: Technology Advanced Running Shoes Reduce Biomechanical Factors of Running-Related Injury Risk 👟 Super shoes (like Nike Alphafly) encouraged mid/forefoot striking without increasing joint or muscle strain. ✅ They reduced load on key areas like the ankle joint, soleus, and peroneus longus. ❗️ Minimalist shoes , on the other hand, tripled ankle joint forces and heavily loaded the calf and foot — a risk for Achilles and metatarsal injuries. ⚠️ Caution: Transition slowly into super shoes or minimalist footwear. Your body needs time to adapt to new mechanics. Practical Takeaways for Runners Monitor asymmetries using wearables or self-awareness — don’t wait for pain. Use the glute bridge hold as a simple strength test at home. Aim for >20 seconds on both sides. Super shoes aren’t just for speed — they may actually help with injury prevention , especially for habitual forefoot strikers. Avoid going cold turkey into minimalist shoes unless you're conditioned for it. 📚 Want to Go Deeper? 🔍 All referenced studies are stored in the Run Smarter Research Database — accessible for just $8.99/month. 💬 Plus, get access to the Run Smarter AI Assistant , which answers your running questions based on podcast episodes, papers, and course content. 👉 Click here to explore membership options For MORE Run Smarter Resources 🏃‍♂️📚 - Including Free Injury Prevention Courses 🩹🎓 - The Run Smarter Book 📖 - Access to Research Papers 📄🔍 - & Ways to Work with Brodie 🤝👟 👉 CLICK HERE! 🎉✨…

Learn more about Brodie's Research Database & AI Assistant 📄🔍 In this episode of the Run Smarter Podcast , Brodie sits down with world-renowned sports dietitian and researcher Professor Louise Burke to clear the air on one of the most debated topics in endurance sport: low-carb vs high-carb diets . After receiving listener pushback from a previous episode on low-carb nutrition, Brodie brings in Louise — who has decades of elite-level experience and research — to explore: The theory behind fat-adaptation and low-carb, high-fat diets Whether the science supports keto for endurance performance The trade-offs between fuel efficiency, oxygen use, and high-intensity output What recreational runners should consider when planning their fueling strategies Louise also shares: When keto may be appropriate (hint: not for everyone!) How to train your gut to tolerate more carbs The dangers of extreme diet restriction Why individual response should guide your nutrition plan Her concerns around misinformation, particularly in female athlete nutrition 🧠 Key Takeaways: Yes, keto increases fat burning , but it can impair high-intensity performance due to reduced oxygen efficiency. Carb periodisation —adjusting intake based on session intensity—is a smart strategy for most runners. Carbohydrate source and quality matter just as much as quantity. Training the gut is essential if you're increasing carb intake for race day. Avoid extreme rigidity in diets. Nutrient density, food range, and enjoyment are critical for long-term success. 💬 Quotes to Remember: “It’s not about choosing sides — it’s about choosing the right strategy for your sport, goals, and physiology.”“Everyone’s an expert in nutrition… because everyone eats.

41:04

Learn more about Brodie's Research Database & AI Assistant 📄🔍 In this listener Q&A episode, Brodie tackles a wide range of questions from the Run Smarter community. From race-day fueling strategies and minimalist footwear to the nuances of tendon vs muscle rehab, this episode delivers practical, evidence-based advice to help you train smarter and reduce your injury risk. ❓ Questions Answered in This Episode: What’s the optimal fueling strategy for long runs and race day? How can I avoid calf cramps and “hitting the wall” after 32km? Is it okay to strength train the day before a speed session? What shoe or biomechanical adjustments can help with medial tibial stress syndrome? Are ketone supplements worth the investment for performance or recovery? Why do I only get sit-bone pain when running hills? How can I safely find my upper weekly mileage limit? What are the pros, cons, and research on barefoot running and Vibram shoes? Are youth runners more prone to injuries due to early specialization? How does tendon rehab differ from muscle rehab—and why do tendon injuries linger? 🧠 Key Lessons: Carb fueling : Aim for 60–90g of carbs per hour during long races; train your gut beforehand. Cramping prevention : Hydration must include electrolytes, not just water. Strength & speed : Don’t compromise quality—if you notice performance drop-offs, rearrange your training week. Barefoot shoes : They offer benefits but come with a very narrow margin for error and higher overload risk. Injury rehab : Tendon injuries often linger due to stress shielding and require different loading strategies than muscles. ✅ Practical Takeaways: Test fueling and hydration strategies during training, not on race day. Consider cadence, step width, and load distribution when dealing with shin splints. Use shoes as tools: rotate between minimalist and supportive footwear depending on recovery needs. Vary youth training loads and encourage multi-sport participation for injury prevention. Tendons need slow, progressive loading and may not respond to typical muscle rehab protocols. 💬 Quote to Remember: “A part of training should be exploring your limits and learning from them—just don’t wait until injury forces the lesson.” For MORE Run Smarter Resources 🏃‍♂️📚 - Including Free Injury Prevention Courses 🩹🎓 - The Run Smarter Book 📖 - Access to Research Papers 📄🔍 - & Ways to Work with Brodie 🤝👟 👉 CLICK HERE! 🎉✨…

In this episode, you’ll explore: 📌 Featured Research Summaries: 1. Biomechanical Strategies to Improve Running How increasing your cadence by 10% can reduce knee pain — especially patellofemoral pain. Why combining cadence, footwear (lower heel drop), and orthoses yields the best biomechanical results. Why cadence alone might be the most powerful, accessible change you can make. 2. Foot Strike & Tibial Loading Forefoot striking increases tibial stress by 15–16%—why this matters for runners with a history of shin splints or stress fractures. How exaggerating a heel strike decreased tibial load—especially useful for runners recovering from bone stress injuries. Don’t be fooled by impact forces: internal loading tells a more important story. 3. Diagnosing Iliopsoas Tendinopathy A new test (the HEC Test ) combining hip flexion + external rotation had a 94% sensitivity and 88% specificity . Why this figure-4 movement is now one of the best clinical tools for groin pain. How a guided injection was used to confirm accuracy — and what this means for runners with chronic hip pain. 4. Trail Running Safety Insights Based on real-world fatal incidents reported in the news. Top causes of death: hypothermia , cardiac arrest , and falls . Actionable tips for recreational trail runners: Plan your route and let someone know. Bring layers and an emergency blanket — even for short runs. Use a GPS tracker and whistle.
