from 2020-10-08T23:00
The Endurance Physio, Mike James joins Dave and Rob to look at how to avoid injury, train successfully for the events you want to take part in and share some myth-busting in this fascinating episode.
Mike explains how anyone can train for and take part in endurance events if they understand how to be consistent and what their starting point is.
He discusses the most common types of injuries and why it’s vital to put in the preparation and perfect each step of training consistently before reaching for the marginal gains along with great advice on exercises that will make the difference
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- You can be either a robust or fragile athlete. Those who are fragile athletes just need to be more consistent.
- People pick up the most injuries because they attempt to nail marginal gains before they have perfected the first 95%
- In endurance athletes 75% -85% of injuries will be lower limb, soft tissue non-traumatic and overuse, the other 25% will be traumatic, upper body associated with falls.
- With tissue it’s not the load, it’s the load you are not prepared for. People sometimes pick up injuries through doing something different.
- With endurance sport, any treatment will be about preparing for load. Sometimes you need to stop but it is usually about modifying the movement.
- Having a wide range of activities will benefit backpain.
- Every patient I see can go on and self-manage.
- Changing too quickly can cause overload for endurance athletes.
- Most problems with endurance athletes come from being too keen, to eager and naïve.
- Coaches can make a difference if you get a good coach with the right program for you.
- Cardio is king but the secret is the timing of training across the year.
- It’s about creating stability, robustness and different load through the tissues
- You can only benefit from the training you are resting from and you can improve recovery by making sure the training is of the right intensity.
BEST MOMENTS
