Your weekly mileage might look consistent on Strava. But what happens when Sunday’s long run is followed by Monday’s intervals?

Your tissues don’t reset just because a new week begins.

In this episode of The Rehab Runway, Sports & Exercise Chiropractor and running coach Luke Nelson explores training density: how closely your sessions are clustered, and what weekly totals can miss.

We cover:

• The difference between running frequency and training density.
• How similar weekly mileage can hide very different training patterns.
• Why it helps to look across the Sunday–Monday boundary.
• Using rolling training windows to understand recent exposure.
• Practical considerations for spacing long runs, harder sessions and return-to-running sessions.

Whether you’re a runner organising your training, a coach adjusting a program or a clinician investigating what changed before an injury, this episode will help you look beyond the weekly kilometre total.
