Brodie answers the following questions:Anna: As a trail runner and a doctor I know the evidence has changed. Rest is no longer recommended for injury and lots of focus on strength. But I also know that most of my injuries are due to overuse or lack of recovery. So how to know when to back off. Or is rest never the answer?Dominik: How to safely transition from high cushioned shoes to minimal (barefoot) shoes? Does the barefoot approach really reduce a lot of injuries? If so, Why elite runners don’t run in minimal shoes? I am reading Born to run and am a bit puzzled about thisCraig: Recently, I was lucky to get a pair of Altra Vanish Carbon during a limited time special. I was sort of debating on using this for a marathon at the end of May. How many times would you recommend running in these shoes prior to the race? Debbie: Managing 1 year of left knee pain after returning from running following a rectus femoris tendinopathy. An MRI recently showed mild bursitis and joint effusion. I believe it's related to kinetic chain imbalances including a right hip shift. Where should the rehab focus be? Should I be exercising my knee at all or solely focusing on improving hip mobility?💥💥80% of Runners are Injured EVERY YEAR 😲 But it Doesn't Have to be You!Avoid being a statistic & sign up for the FREE 5-Day Injury Prevention ChallengeRun Smarter YouTube ChannelReceive Run Smarter EmailsBook a FREE Injury chat with BrodieRun Smarter App IOS or AndroidPodcast Facebook group
