Is the 10% rule for increasing your running mileage actually a myth? And are runners really honest with their physios about how much they’re training? This week, Andy, Sarah and Rick take a closer look at running load, injury risk, and what the research actually tells us about how much training is too much. They discuss how a key study measured running load, why your single biggest run may matter more than you think, the role of deload weeks and how to reduce your risk of injury while still making progress.The Running Channel Podcast tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.Join The Running Channel Club for exclusive additional podcast episodes, bite-sized courses, live Q&As and so much more!
