Returning to Running After Injury: What Actually Works (And What Keeps You Stuck)
Thursday, 5 February, 2026
Most runners don’t get injured because they’re weak.They get injured because they rush the return.In this episode, we break down what actually matters when returning to running after injury, drawing on principles used by physiotherapists, sports doctors, and experienced run coaches.We talk about why being “pain-free” doesn’t mean you’re ready, why fitness comes back faster than tissue tolerance, and how most runners accidentally re-injure themselves by skipping steps they didn’t even know existed.You’ll learn:• What being “cleared to run” really means• Why load management matters more than mileage• The role strength plays in injury-proofing your return• How to tell the difference between normal discomfort and warning signs• Why speed is the last thing to reintroduce, not the first• This is not a quick-fix episode.It’s a long-term thinking one.If you want to return to running in a way that actually holds up, this conversation will change how you approach the process.
