The Journey To Injury Free Running

When it comes to race preparation, there is no “one size fits all” approach. Every individual is different - so are their needs and physical ability. People tend to view Physiotherapists as medical care providers who you go to when you are injured. That is not wrong - however, physiotherapists are experts in body biomechanics and are able to help you with your training programme as well.

Apart from recovering from running injuries, physiotherapy can help with injury prevention and increased performance for serious athletes. One client who I was able to help with his race preparation is John.

John is a 49-year-old Marketing Director who has always been active since young. In his thirties, the bustle of everyday life got in the way of keeping active and his physical activities were reduced to an occasional run or swim. He started to take part in races and triathlons four years ago when he was on a quest to revert to his former fitness level. During a regular workweek, John runs, swims and bikes twice a week. If there is an upcoming race, his training ramps up to roughly 12 hours running, swimming and biking three times a week.
