Coping With Injury When Everything Is On The Line
Thursday, 30 April, 2026

At 39km into the Buffalo Stampede 100k, I rolled my ankle (and broke it!) and ruptured my ATFL ligament. Boot on. Running stopped. Tor des Géants in September still on the calendar.In this episode, Ron and I talk through what actually happens when a serious injury hits mid-season, not the motivational version, the real one. The emotional crash, the identity hit, the urge to panic-plan at midnight while Googling recovery timelines.We cover:— The right and wrong way to respond in the first 48 hours— Cross training options that actually maintain fitness (and the ones that don't)— Mental coping strategies including visualisation, identity separation, and controlling the controllables— Why volunteering is more useful than most injured athletes think— How to return to running without wrecking yourself a second time— Adjusting race goals without abandoning themIf you're navigating an injury right now — or you coach athletes who are — this one is worth your time.Isobel Tait is the founder of Peak Endurance Coaching, a three-time Barkley Marathons competitor, three-time Australian representative at the World Long Distance Mountain Running Championships, and winner of the Six Foot Track Marathon.
