Description

Statistics show 70-80% of runners get injured with majority of the injuries from overuse.  Runners can do all the strength training, mobility, and injury prevention courses yet still be a high risk for injury due to their training plan. To help us understand the role our training plan plays with running injuries and how to prevent it,  we have Brodie Sharpe with us today. 

Brodie Sharpe is a Physical Therapist in Australia and you may have heard him from the top rated podcast "The Run Smarter Podcast".

In today's episode, we chat through what the adaptation zone is and how runners can use it to their advantage. We answer the following questions:

  • What the adaptation zone is and how to determine if you are in it
  • How the adaptation zone prevents injury and makes you a stronger runner
  • How to train in the adaptation zone no matter what your goals are
  • How most runners exceed the adaptation zone and what happens when this happens
