Here is my FIRST vlog post on youtube (apologies for the formatting etc) which should help guide you on how to manage your running when experiencing lower limb tendinopathy injuries. The example used was for a male client with achilles tendinopathy who is wanting to run the Yorkshire Marathon (15.5 weeks out).
The load reduction in running provides a better environment to manipulate the tissue (usually allowing that tissue to heal and build tolerance) in a positive and time effective way.
You’re essentially trying to heal faster than you are damaging it.
Disciplines that fall into external training loads include:
- how often
- how far
- how fast
- what surface
& Internal training loads include:
- RPE
- Heart rate
- fatigue
General focus:
1. Identify your threshold
2. Create an optimum environment for recovery and growth
3. Keep exercises functional or sport specific
4. Build resilience
Consult with your local sports therapists or physiotherapist for advice.
