As always, the goal is to cut through the myths and confusion to bring you evidence-based strategies to improve your performance, prevent injury, and run smarter.\nWhat You’ll Learn in This Episode 🏃‍♂️📚\nCadence & Injury PreventionA new systematic review on how running cadence influences biomechanics and injury risk.\nWhy a 5–10% increase in cadence can reduce knee impact forces by ~20%.\nHow cadence changes affect running economy, injury risk, and sustainability over time.\nTraining Volume & Marathon PerformanceInsights from the 2022 Boston Marathon survey.\nWhy higher yearly training volume and more quality sessions (speed work) are linked to faster race times.\nHow slightly reducing training frequency/volume in the 4 months before race day may improve results.\nHIIT Frequency for Recreational RunnersA six-week study comparing 1, 2, or 3 weekly HIIT sessions.\nWhy two HIIT sessions per week seems to strike the best balance between adaptation, recovery, and adherence.\nThe surprising improvements seen even with just one session per week.\nPlantar Plate InjuriesA narrative review on diagnosing this under-recognized but common source of forefoot pain.\nKey clinical tests (like the drawer test and toe purchase test) and why MRI remains the gold standard.\nHow to distinguish plantar plate injuries from similar conditions such as Morton’s neuroma or stress fractures.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/yu6CIQL0sKEEn32UMHvSGj80p9Ns_xcjLGp-EWyJlqQ/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM5ODgwLzE2Nzkw/MTQzMTYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
