This episode of The Strength Running Podcast interviews physical therapist Kate Edwards about injury prevention strategies for runners. The discussion ranks strategies from most to least effective, starting with strength training, sleep, and nutrition as top priorities. Moderately effective strategies include managing life stress, contrast therapy, and cross-training, all contributing to recovery and overall well-being. The least effective strategies discussed are ignoring pain with NSAIDs and completely ceasing running when injured; instead, modifying training load is recommended. Listeners gain actionable advice on optimizing training and recovery to minimize injury risk and enhance performance.
