Ep #024 Underrated Athletes and Doubling Down

from The Long Run Hosted by Angus & Elton

This week on The Long Run we ask: Are runners underrated athletes? With 50–70% of runners injured each year, we break down the huge forces your body absorbs on every stride — and why banded workouts and air squats aren’t enough. We cover what smart, progressively loaded strength, plyos and sprint work should look like to truly prepare your tissues for running. Then it’s a stacked Valencia Marathon preview We check in on what training looks like 10 weeks out from The Tarawera Miler, and break down how to refuel between double training days so you’re hitting that second session recovered — with simple, actionable guidelines for carbs, protein and hydration. And as always, we wrap it up with Our Week of Training.
