Success Story: Overcoming shin splints with Danny Symington
We kick off our final success story with Danny Symington who managed to overcome 9 months of shin splints. Danny is an avid listener of the podcast and applied the podcast lessons to build up his running mileage.
We talk through his journey when symptoms first arose, the mistakes he made, the successful plan and his steps moving forward.
During these success story segments, Brodie interviews a runner who has managed to overcome a running related injury after much hardship and frustration.
When injured, it is easy to find social media posts & stories from other injured runners which are discouraging and worrying. Tales of chronic pain, debilitating symptoms and failed treatment techniques often manifest anxiety and thoughts of the worst outcome.
However, this is only a small fraction of runners and a skewed bias around the injured population. So, this segment aims to bring hope and optimism, while sharing treatment success.
