Stop Guessing: How to Actually Manage Running Injuries | Paddy Lally

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of the Maximum Mileage Running Podcast, we’re joined by team physio Paddy Lally to break down what runners actually need to know about injuries, recovery, and long-term performance.Paddy works with everyone from everyday runners to elite athletes, and brings both clinical expertise and personal experience as a former GB age-group triathlete and a 2:57 marathoner. We dive into how to tell the difference between normal soreness and a real injury, why so many runners get stuck in the cycle of recurring niggles, and the key factors that often get overlooked, like stress, fueling, and lifestyle.This episode is especially useful if you’ve ever felt frustrated by injuries that don’t seem to make sense, or if you want to train in a way that actually supports consistency and progress.In this episode, we cover: When to push through vs. when to back off  The most common causes of running injuries  How cadence, strength, and load impact pain  The role of stress and recovery in how your body feels  Practical ways to stay healthy and keep training If your goal is to run stronger, stay consistent, and stop second-guessing every ache, this one’s for you.Right, that's us done.
