    This episode is all about turning setbacks into strategy. Brodie joins the show to unpack why injuries are rarely random and how every niggle, flare-up, or full-blown setback carries valuable information about your training, lifestyle, and recovery habits. We explore the big levers that influence injury risk, including sleep, stress, nutrition, footwear changes, and emotional pressure, as well as the subtle patterns runners often miss. Brodie breaks down how to identify training errors, uncover weak links, and understand the early warning signs your body gives long before an injury fully appears.

    You’ll learn how to approach your running like an ongoing experiment, how to track the right data, and how to use self-awareness to build a more durable, resilient runner’s body. From understanding your personal injury patterns to applying smarter safeguards in your training plan, this conversation teaches you how to turn any injury into long-term progress. Whether you’re currently sidelined or simply want to avoid repeating past mistakes, this episode gives you the mindset and tools to come back stronger than before.

Eric previously joined us in Episode 186 to dive into return-to-running principles. Today, he’s back to explore one of the hardest and most misunderstood topics in running science:Can we actually predict running injuries?If so, how? And what should runners do with that information?Using insights from his 3-year prospective cohort study, Eric walks us through what physical performance tests can and cannot tell us about injury risk—and why simple movement screens like single-leg squats may be more powerful than we ever realised.We also dive into psychosocial risk factors, early warning signs, modern wearable data, and why injury prediction research is evolving rapidly.What This Episode CoversWhy Eric designed a study to challenge the Functional Movement Screen (FMS)The 15 bodyweight performance tests studied across 360 athletesWhich movement patterns actually mattered for overuse injuriesThe shocking finding: when motor control was considered, past injury stopped predicting future injuryWhy weak glute medius and poor ankle mobility show up repeatedly in injured runnersHow poor movement gives you “less wiggle room” before overloadWhy injury prediction today is no longer just movement → injury, but a multifactorial real-time modelThe four early warning signs of an upcoming injury episodePractical takeaways all runners can apply immediatelyKey Insights & Takeaways1. Movement Quality Matters More Than We ThoughtEric’s research found that poor single-leg or double-leg squat control was strongly associated with future overuse injuries—even more than past injury history. When movement quality was poor, “past injury” no longer predicted new injury. This indicates:Poor motor control = major vulnerabilityRunners with poor control have less buffer when workloads fluctuateRunners who move well have a much larger margin for errorSymptoms of poor control during squats include:Knees collapsing inwardTrunk rotatingHeels liftingUsing the spine instead of hips/knees to descendThese often reflect:Weak glute mediusPoor ankle mobilityPoor neuromuscular coordination after prior injury2. The Tests That Truly MatterEric’s study grouped bodyweight tests into:Active motionMotor controlHip stabilityFlexibilityPowerBut the only category that consistently correlated with overuse injury was:Motor Control: quality of double-leg and single-leg squatThese tests are simple, take 20 seconds, and anyone can self-assess in front of a mirror.3. Early Warning Signs of an Injury (Clear Red Flags)Eric highlights four factors runners should monitor weekly:FatigueStress levelsSleep qualityMuscle sorenessWhen all four trend in the wrong direction, an injury is often imminent.4. Wearables Are Changing Injury PredictionUnlike old studies that tested athletes once per year, modern tech (Garmin, Whoop, Oura, etc.) collects real-time data—giving much stronger prediction models.Right now, Eric estimates we can predict injury with:👉 30–50% confidence Already far better than the past, and improving rapidly.5. Runners Must See Themselves as Whole HumansMechanical load alone doesn't explain injuries. Psychological and lifestyle factors matter just as much:TravelStressPoor sleepRelationship/social strainHigh sorenessReduced recovery behaviorsIgnoring these variables leads runners into repeated injury cycles.🧠 Practical Tips for RunnersFilm yourself doing a single-leg and double-leg squat → check knee control, trunk alignment, ankle mobilityAvoid running when fatigued, highly stressed, poorly slept, or extremely soreBuild glute medius strength (side planks, hip abduction variations)Improve ankle mobility if squats improve with heels elevatedConsider cross-training to break unidirectional overloadTake easy days without guilt—they prevent injury, not reflect weaknessLook at yourself as a whole athlete: body + mind + lifestyle📚 Related Research MentionedHegedus et al.

    In this month’s Latest Research episode, we break down five new papers added to the Run Smarter Research Library — including big updates on trail running performance, dynamic stretching, running stability, and emerging tendon therapies like ozone, collagen, and PRP.

    Whether you're a trail runner, road runner, or someone dealing with a stubborn tendon injury, this episode arms you with the latest insights to train smarter and reduce injury risk.

    In This Episode


    Trail Running: What Predicts Performance & Injury Risk?

    Paper: Analysis of Factors Influencing Injuries and Performance in Trail Running
    Key insights:

    • Higher weekly volume, more elevation gain, more interval training, and structured recovery → lower injury risk
    • Sleep + passive recovery (massage, mobility, sauna, cold plunges) strongly linked to better performance
    • Taller runners had slightly higher injury risk
    • Prepared tissue = safer tissue
    • More training is protective — but only when recovery is adequate

    Dynamic Stretching: Does It Improve Neuromuscular Readiness?

    Paper: Acute Effects of Dynamic Stretching on Knee Joint Position Sense and Dynamic Balance in Recreational Runners
    Key insights:

    • A 5-minute dynamic warm-up improved:
      • Joint position sense
      • Single-leg balance
      • Neuromuscular “readiness”
    • Runners were more accurate with limb positioning and more stable on Y-Balance Test

    Dynamic Stability & Running Economy: Why Variability Helps

    Paper: Runners with Lower Dynamic Stability Exhibit Better Running Economy
    Key insights:

    • More step-to-step variability (“controlled chaos”) = better running economy
    • Stability didn’t change with speed → suggests an individual running “trait”
    • Efficient runners aren’t rigid — they allow micro-adjustments

    Ozone Therapy for Tendinopathy — An Emerging Option?

    Paper: Oxygen–Ozone Therapy in Tendinopathy Management
    Key insights:

    • May reduce pain, improve function, and support collagen regeneration
    • Early evidence only; protocols vary
    • Appears promising as an adjunct, not a standalone treatment

    Porcine Collagen Injections for Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy

    Paper: Porcine Collagen Injection Therapy Affects Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy in Athletes
    Key insights:

    • Return to sport:
      • Collagen + rehab: 57 days
      • Rehab only: 72 days
    • Greater functional improvements in the collagen group
    • Still small, preliminary studies
