You can get stronger, follow the plan, hit your numbers—and still have the same side of your body keep breaking down.
In this episode, Coach Justin and Coach Katie are joined by physical therapist Craig Depperschmidt to explore why endurance athletes are naturally asymmetrical, how repetitive training can magnify those patterns, and why recurring injuries may involve more than weakness or poor form. The conversation goes beyond muscles into movement, breathing, the brain, body awareness, and what it really takes to build durability for the long haul.
What You’ll Learn
- Why the same side of your body may repeatedly become your “problem side”
- Why getting stronger doesn’t automatically correct the movement patterns underneath recurring injuries
- How single-leg training, body awareness, and movement variability can help athletes better manage asymmetry
- Why rigid, metric-driven training may be missing an important piece of long-term adaptability and durability
