Q&A: increasing mileage safely/black toes/running stability/water running
Today we have a Q&A episode where Brodie answer 5 question from the Run Smarter FB group and the Patron group. Here is what we will cover:
- If we are trying to ramp up mileage extremely quickly for a race without getting injured, how can we successfully do so?
- I’ve heard runners get black toes. What is it, how is it prevented and how to treat if you get one or more?
- How to keep your runs focused when not working toward a specific event/race?
- Stability work for runners, particularly trail running would be awesome- how important it is, and how can we put it into practice?
- Is water running a good substitute for land running when you are injured? Does it have any strength benefits? Is it a worthwhile exercise?
What does Brodie think of all these questions? Have a listen to find out!
