Recently, and rightly so, many of the leading voices on social media within therapy have criticised the use of car related analogies for the human body, as we try to get away from the belief of the body being mechanical or machine like and replacing this with a more ecosystem type approach. 1/

Crazy couple of weeks with lots of athletes preparing for their biggest events of 2026. This meant even more contact and comms around energy and fatigue and necessary micro adjustments to training and preparation where needed based on feedback. 1/3

Far too many athletes end up in my clinic for a 2nd opinion where the glaring issue has been under dosed and overly conservative rehab to date. This fits with many conversations I have with therapists when I teach who report a crippling fear of pushing an athlete too hard, 1/

Is it time your training / rehab focussed on the things we don’t want to do more than the things we do? Here’s some thoughts on having a “not to do” list ……🎬

Repost: This weekend whilst playing board games with the kids I realised that rehab can often be like a game of snakes and ladders. People are desperate to roll that dice , hit that 6 and fly up the biggest ladder on the board. 1/

For many triathletes an off season swim video analysis and technique assessment is a staple, or is touted as the answer to “this years problems” and “next years solution”. 1/

What a great Q that I was asked today by someone just finishing their first season in triathlon. It sounds obvious to work on your weakest discipline. But your weakest split isn’t necessarily where your next hour of training will buy you the most race time. 1/

Things not been going as planned? Suddenly the work/life commitments, pain/injury or time pressures ease up, and it’s time to make up for lost time…… This is a time that needs to managed sensibly and carefully with a focus most certainly fixed on the long term > short term. 1/2

For decades, runners and coaches have lived by “rules” or guides for weekly run volume such as the 10% rule. “Don’t increase your weekly mileage by more than 10%.” 1/

Finish a marathon and nobody questions a few days off. Get ill and people rightly tell you to take it easy. But wake up on an ordinary Tuesday feeling tired, with a busy day ahead, and decide to miss a session? That can feel strangely difficult. 1/

Whether you are trying to see changes in training or rehab they take time. Stop expecting immediate results, be patient and create long term sustainable change. This starts with making very realistic and achievable goals that you can be successful with, 1/2

Tendon issues are really common in endurance sports. But I believe they hang around much longer than they need to in some athletes because we manage them sub optimally. Key take homes: Rest isn’t rehab. Make sure to load enough, for long enough. There’s no single magic way to do this.

There was a time when running a marathon for example was regarded as an extraordinary achievement. Then came the ultra, then 100 miles, then multiple ultras, then a marathon a day. Eventually it’s become running across countries & continents. Ever bigger. Ever longer. Ever more extreme. 1/

In a world where we continue to overcomplicate exercise unnecessarily, don’t forget the good old fashioned single leg side step down. Great for Lower limb strength and rehab for most lower limb conditions. Can be done anywhere there’s a step or stair. Less is so much more.

Following yesterday’s leg length post, I’ve had quite a few messages asking to explain more. 🎬 When 2+2=5. Observations during an assessment are often just that. Be careful of these being linked or attributed as the primary cause of a problem. Often they are nothing to do with it.

A runner walks into your clinic with pain. You can test their strength, watch them run, look at their training and assess the painful tissue. But then comes the difficult bit…Which findings actually matter? 1/4

The Endurance Physio @theendurancephysio.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

The most underrated ingredient in rehab? PATIENCE. Sometimes you just need to give the right plan time to work. Stop bouncing from treatment / therapist when progress feels slow. Every time you change direction, you may restart the clock. Rehab isn’t always quick. Progress isn’t always linear.

As a lot of people’s summer racing seasons start to come to an end, the inevitable question appears “What next?” For some, that quickly becomes “How do I hold onto this fitness?” and that’s where athletes can get themselves into trouble. 1/

One of the problems we have in running (or any endurance sport) injury management is our constant search for the thing that caused the injury. Weak glutes, poor mechanics, flexibility, over pronation, shoe type and choice, cadence, strength, total volume to name but a few are often blamed. 1/
