Latest / Hurdle with Emily Abbate / #HURDLEMOMENT: A Physical Therapist's Take on Navigating Popular Running Injuries
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Hey, hurdlers. Emily a Body here with another installment of
- 0:04Speaker 1: Hurdle Moment from Hurdle, a podcast that doctor everyone from
- 0:08Speaker 1: entrepreneurs to top CEOs and athletes about how they got
- 0:11Speaker 1: through tough times hurdles of sorts by leaning into wellness. Today,
- 0:16Speaker 1: I'm going to be diving into a little bit more
- 0:18Speaker 1: about the topic of injury. I got a lot of
- 0:21Speaker 1: really great feedback from you guys after I posted the
- 0:24Speaker 1: how to Deal with Injury Hurdle Moment, and I knew
- 0:28Speaker 1: that I needed to get a little bit deeper, so
- 0:32Speaker 1: I reached out to my friend Blake. He is a
- 0:34Speaker 1: physical therapist at Bespoke Treatments in Midtown. Let me tell
- 0:39Speaker 1: you the guys, they are the team there and they're outstanding,
- 0:42Speaker 1: highly recommended them. They have gotten me through hell and
- 0:46Speaker 1: back when it comes to really scary injuries that come
- 0:50Speaker 1: a little too close to raise base sometimes and I'm
- 0:52Speaker 1: so grateful for them. So I reached out to Blake
- 0:55Speaker 1: and we sat down and talked a little bit more
- 0:58Speaker 1: about the topic of injury. Before you get to more
- 1:00Speaker 1: on that, a quick shout out to a Hurdle Moment's
- 1:03Speaker 1: sponsor this week, Wollaco guys, last week's event that I
- 1:07Speaker 1: had with Wollaco was one of the most special things
- 1:11Speaker 1: I have done since starting hurdle. You know, I have
- 1:15Speaker 1: a lot of fun at these live podcast events, but
- 1:18Speaker 1: this was different. You know, we went for that run,
- 1:20Speaker 1: but then we came back and he had an open,
- 1:22Speaker 1: vulnerable dialogue about some of the tough stuff that we're
- 1:25Speaker 1: going through these days. I'd say the nine as a
- 1:28Speaker 1: whole just really embodied what Wollaco is all about, not
- 1:31Speaker 1: only making really great product. I personally am in love
- 1:34Speaker 1: with their Walker Crop tank, but also just the desire
- 1:38Speaker 1: to connect with their consumer on a deeper level. If
- 1:40Speaker 1: you're in the New York City area and you want
- 1:42Speaker 1: to get involved, definitely check out their Walllico Wednesdays. You
- 1:45Speaker 1: can get all of the details on their early morning
- 1:48Speaker 1: weekly workouts in the description to this episode. And now,
- 1:52Speaker 1: as for what Leg and I get into today, it's
- 1:54Speaker 1: a lot about when you need to take a break,
- 1:57Speaker 1: when it's okay to push forward. He actually shed some
- 1:59Speaker 1: light on this idea that if you have an injury,
- 2:01Speaker 1: a lot of the time, the good news is that
- 2:04Speaker 1: you can keep running, you can keep doing activity, although
- 2:08Speaker 1: maybe not in the same capacity. That you started out
- 2:11Speaker 1: your mission, like I said September, is all about running.
- 2:14Speaker 1: It's all about marathon training for these hurdle moments leaning
- 2:17Speaker 1: up to a lot of these fall marathons. If you're running,
- 2:19Speaker 1: if you have any questions you want answered, definitely reach
- 2:23Speaker 1: out to me over DM or on email. It's at
- 2:25Speaker 1: Emily a Body at Hurdle Podcasts and of course as
- 2:28Speaker 1: always Emily at hurdle dot Us. With that, let's get
- 2:34Speaker 1: to hurdling. All right, So injury, it sucks, it's no fun.
- 2:48Speaker 1: That's the worst. Have you ever been seriously injured?
- 2:51Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 2:52Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been taken away, I've been in a boot
- 2:54Speaker 3: head stress practures pretty much. We could go from the
- 2:57Speaker 3: toes all the way up to the low back. You
- 2:59Speaker 3: could probably name at least ten.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Yeah, let's give the hurdlers a little bit of context
- 3:04Speaker 1: on your personal running background, aside from now being a
- 3:07Speaker 1: physical therapist.
- 3:08Speaker 2: Sure.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Yeah, So I grew up playing pretty much every sport.
- 3:11Speaker 3: Soccer was kind of the main focus until I got
- 3:14Speaker 3: eighth grade and then middle school. Eighth grade I switched
- 3:17Speaker 3: more to running, and then by high school I was
- 3:18Speaker 3: running full time, so across country track a mile two mile,
- 3:22Speaker 3: I was on a four by eighteen. Then I went
- 3:25Speaker 3: to college Indiana University, ran track and cross country there,
- 3:30Speaker 3: came here to New York, and I took it a nice,
- 3:31Speaker 3: solid three year retirement, and then just within the last
- 3:34Speaker 3: couple of years, I've been getting back into the swing
- 3:35Speaker 3: of things.
- 3:36Speaker 1: How's it feel.
- 3:37Speaker 2: It's good, it's fun. It's fun to be in shape.
- 3:39Speaker 3: It's it's not fun getting in shape, but it's a
- 3:42Speaker 3: lot of fun when you're in the group of things.
- 3:44Speaker 3: And it's a great way to meet people too. I mean,
- 3:46Speaker 3: that was one of the big biggest reasons I jumped
- 3:48Speaker 3: back into running, was being able to meet people be
- 3:51Speaker 3: part of that community again.
- 3:52Speaker 1: One hundred percent. Okay, so let's talk about running injuries.
- 3:56Speaker 1: Running is tough. We know this. So it's like, I
- 3:59Speaker 1: feel as though I'm constantly hovering on this line of
- 4:02Speaker 1: like doing all the things and not doing enough things.
- 4:05Speaker 1: And when I'm not doing enough that's really more so
- 4:09Speaker 1: I find when I'm getting injured, when I'm not warming up,
- 4:11Speaker 1: when i'm not pooling down, when I'm thinking that I
- 4:13Speaker 1: can run like once or twice during the week and
- 4:15Speaker 1: then go kill a long run just because of time constraints. Yeah,
- 4:19Speaker 1: is that something you see often?
- 4:20Speaker 2: Totally.
- 4:21Speaker 3: Yeah, it's all running is always kind of this delicate
- 4:23Speaker 3: balance between doing too much or doing too little. I
- 4:25Speaker 3: think what I've learned over the last you know, fifteen
- 4:27Speaker 3: years of running is a nice way to kind of
- 4:30Speaker 3: optimize my time, because time is always an issue for
- 4:33Speaker 3: everybody in the working professional world, especially when you're trying
- 4:36Speaker 3: to juggle work in life and marathon training all at once.
- 4:40Speaker 3: So figuring out what's the best, what's the most efficient
- 4:43Speaker 3: way to optimize your training so you're not spending you know,
- 4:46Speaker 3: thirty minutes on a warm up, thirty minutes on.
- 4:48Speaker 2: A cool down and then you have to go out
- 4:49Speaker 2: for an hour run.
- 4:50Speaker 3: Right, Sometimes it's just being it's all about kind of
- 4:52Speaker 3: figuring out what's the most important for that day and
- 4:54Speaker 3: then knocking out of the park.
- 4:56Speaker 1: Okay, so obviously there are different types of injuries, but
- 4:59Speaker 1: on broad scale, talk to me about like when dull
- 5:03Speaker 1: pain versus regular pain versus extreme pain, Like when should
- 5:07Speaker 1: someone actually go seek out some help.
- 5:10Speaker 3: Yeah, so running injuries, they're gonna happen. The aches and
- 5:13Speaker 3: pains are just sort of part of being a runner.
- 5:15Speaker 3: You know, you're constantly sort of trying to progress through
- 5:18Speaker 3: training program, whether.
- 5:19Speaker 2: That's with speed or with volume.
- 5:21Speaker 3: You're always changing these variables trying to squeez out a
- 5:23Speaker 3: little bit of fitness. So anytime you throw a new
- 5:26Speaker 3: variable into your training plan, you're gonna have a little
- 5:28Speaker 3: bit of an ac and pain, or.
- 5:29Speaker 2: At least you can expect it. It's not not an
- 5:30Speaker 2: uncommon thing.
- 5:32Speaker 3: So eggs and pains are normal with running, and they
- 5:35Speaker 3: have generally happen and last for about one to three days,
- 5:39Speaker 3: and I'd consider that a normal pain. So something that
- 5:41Speaker 3: lasts for up to three days usually gets better with
- 5:45Speaker 3: time and isn't anywhere over like a two to four
- 5:48Speaker 3: at a ten pain level, it can be, there can
- 5:51Speaker 3: be some sharpness to it.
- 5:53Speaker 2: It's just one of those things.
- 5:53Speaker 3: You kind of need to proceed with caution and kind
- 5:56Speaker 3: of monitor your symptoms daily.
- 5:59Speaker 2: Was to better than yesterday? Was today worse than yesterday?
- 6:02Speaker 3: What do I need to change to kind of reduce
- 6:06Speaker 3: the stress to this area? And then there's abnormal pain
- 6:09Speaker 3: when I consider those things that last for longer than
- 6:11Speaker 3: a week, things that are over like a five or
- 6:13Speaker 3: six out of ten pain, things that are causing you
- 6:15Speaker 3: to compensate or change the way that you're running, those
- 6:18Speaker 3: are things that are abnormal and that at that point
- 6:20Speaker 3: you might want to consider seeking a medical consult. It's
- 6:23Speaker 3: not something that you want to that kind of linger
- 6:26Speaker 3: for too too long. On the opposite side of that,
- 6:29Speaker 3: there's rest, which is almost always what people revert to.
- 6:32Speaker 3: And it makes total sense that if a body part
- 6:35Speaker 3: is being injured or hurts, and you know, hurts to run,
- 6:38Speaker 3: let's just take like two weeks totally off. And the
- 6:40Speaker 3: problem with resting is that while you're resting, and this
- 6:43Speaker 3: is most often what happens is the total rest without
- 6:46Speaker 3: any sort of supplementation through strength or cross training, is
- 6:49Speaker 3: that it's just a full kind of bed rest or
- 6:52Speaker 3: no running or exercising. And then what happens when you
- 6:55Speaker 3: do that is as you've rested that two weeks, you
- 6:58Speaker 3: might be out of pain, at least in the short term,
- 7:01Speaker 3: but as soon as you get back to running, the
- 7:03Speaker 3: tissue that you've been rehabbing and resting is in a
- 7:06Speaker 3: weaker state than it was before. It's it's atrophy, whether
- 7:09Speaker 3: it's bone, whether it's tendon or muscle, they all sort
- 7:11Speaker 3: of respond in the same same manner, and so when
- 7:14Speaker 3: you go back to running, in that weekend state, You've
- 7:16Speaker 3: just had a heightened increase for future injuries. So you're
- 7:19Speaker 3: kind of in this negative cycle of you know, injury,
- 7:22Speaker 3: I'm going to rest it, I'm weaker now, and then
- 7:25Speaker 3: I get back to running and I injure myself again
- 7:27Speaker 3: and just kind of just this downward spiral.
- 7:29Speaker 1: So let's talk about then, some of the most popular
- 7:32Speaker 1: or commonly seen running injuries, because I mean, right out
- 7:36Speaker 1: the top of my head, I think about runners knee,
- 7:38Speaker 1: I think about Shin's blends, I think about probably pureformist syndrome.
- 7:43Speaker 1: So what do you got for me?
- 7:44Speaker 2: Totally?
- 7:44Speaker 3: Yeah, I'll the above those are all really important areas
- 7:47Speaker 3: that we use for running. So you know, the runner's
- 7:50Speaker 3: knee tendinopathies are a big one. Tendonitis, whether it's in
- 7:54Speaker 3: the achilles or the hip, it band is sort of
- 7:58Speaker 3: treated as a tendonitis as well.
- 8:01Speaker 2: The yeah, runners needs a big one. Calf complex injuries,
- 8:05Speaker 2: whether it's a strain or or tenonitis, that's another big one. Pureformist.
- 8:10Speaker 3: All of these generally are are overuse injuries or you've
- 8:14Speaker 3: done too much too soon, too quickly, whether that's you've
- 8:17Speaker 3: you've ramped up your intensity too much, or you've ramped
- 8:19Speaker 3: up your volume too much, or maybe you added hills
- 8:20Speaker 3: that weren't part of your training plan a week ago,
- 8:24Speaker 3: and a lot of them can be prevented by by
- 8:26Speaker 3: building up strength. Right, So, if you know you're prone
- 8:28Speaker 3: to pureformist syndrome, or you know you're prone to knee
- 8:32Speaker 3: runner's knee, there's definitely strengthening and capacity you can build
- 8:36Speaker 3: in these areas, whether it's the hip orne or calf
- 8:39Speaker 3: uh to keep those injuries at bay and protect yourself
- 8:42Speaker 3: from from developing them in the first place.
- 8:43Speaker 1: So you stand by something called the guests and check method. Yeah,
- 8:48Speaker 1: so talk to me about that, sure.
- 8:50Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:50Speaker 3: So, like for specifically, like a returning to run sort
- 8:53Speaker 3: of plan, it's it's there's no cookie cutter, there's no
- 8:57Speaker 3: like calculated formula that you can use. So when somebody's
- 9:00Speaker 3: injured and they're not able to run to their full capacity,
- 9:03Speaker 3: that load needs to be managed somehow. Right, So you're
- 9:05Speaker 3: not able to run at one hundred percent like you
- 9:07Speaker 3: used to, we might need to considered cross training, we
- 9:09Speaker 3: might need to consider a run walk program.
- 9:11Speaker 2: We needed to.
- 9:13Speaker 3: Decrease the load into your total system so that your
- 9:15Speaker 3: body has the ability to recover and adapt to the
- 9:19Speaker 3: stresses and rehab exercises that you're doing. So a lot
- 9:21Speaker 3: of the clients I have now are more of that
- 9:23Speaker 3: return to run sort of client where we're not just
- 9:25Speaker 3: coaching for performance, but we're really kind of guiding through
- 9:28Speaker 3: an injury. And so that requires a lot of guests
- 9:32Speaker 3: in check, where it's a lot of the next day, like, hey,
- 9:34Speaker 3: how'd you feel in the run yesterday? Because usually it's
- 9:36Speaker 3: that next morning where you can kind of gauge if
- 9:39Speaker 3: the day before was enough stress or too little stress.
- 9:43Speaker 3: And so especially with those clients, it's a constant guess
- 9:47Speaker 3: and check. You're constantly modifying things, changing certain variables, whether
- 9:52Speaker 3: it shoe wear or intensity or some of the exercises
- 9:54Speaker 3: you're doing to specifically load.
- 9:56Speaker 2: These areas.
- 9:58Speaker 3: A lot of times with like more of a performance
- 10:00Speaker 3: I path that you can get away with like setting
- 10:01Speaker 3: a week plan ahead of time and saying, okay, I'll
- 10:03Speaker 3: speak with you in a week. But with the with
- 10:05Speaker 3: the injury type stuff, so much can happen within a week.
- 10:08Speaker 3: You know, you can can be feeling great one day
- 10:10Speaker 3: and then the next day you know you don't feel
- 10:12Speaker 3: so great, and so it's a conversation that you need
- 10:15Speaker 3: to have with a person figuring out what the day
- 10:18Speaker 3: before did we do that might have triggered.
- 10:19Speaker 2: These sort of symptoms.
- 10:20Speaker 1: I think what people struggle with also is just this
- 10:23Speaker 1: idea of cross training not being what was on the
- 10:25Speaker 1: original plan. I think often, you know, with an injury,
- 10:29Speaker 1: whether it is maybe like a strained hamstring or which
- 10:32Speaker 1: is just a nightmare, or something again like shin splints,
- 10:35Speaker 1: where cross training is recommended, getting in the pool just
- 10:39Speaker 1: feels so different than hitting or run. So for the
- 10:41Speaker 1: people that have been advised or been offered that type
- 10:44Speaker 1: of advice, what do you say to them?
- 10:46Speaker 3: Yeah, No, I think cross training has a ton of
- 10:48Speaker 3: really great benefit and sometimes it's necessary even when you
- 10:51Speaker 3: are healthy. It's a nice way to get a little
- 10:52Speaker 3: bit extra volume without loading your body too much and
- 10:55Speaker 3: breaching that barrier. At the same time, it's terribly boring,
- 10:59Speaker 3: you know, to sit on a try mill or a
- 11:00Speaker 3: bike or elliptical for an hour, because that's another thing.
- 11:04Speaker 3: You can sit on these devices for, you know, one
- 11:06Speaker 3: and a half time to what you'd normally be running,
- 11:08Speaker 3: because you're not loading your body to the degree that
- 11:10Speaker 3: you would be if you were out there pounding your
- 11:11Speaker 3: feet all the time. So to get a good aerobic benefit,
- 11:14Speaker 3: you might need to go for a little bit longer
- 11:16Speaker 3: on some of these cross daring machines, but it's a
- 11:19Speaker 3: great way to still get stressed into the body. That's
- 11:22Speaker 3: one of the that's one of the things we just
- 11:23Speaker 3: kind of talked about was rest. Rest is almost never
- 11:26Speaker 3: the answer, right. We should never just kind of be
- 11:27Speaker 3: sitting and waiting out this injury to go down. Crosstrating
- 11:30Speaker 3: is an important piece, and what I always tell people
- 11:32Speaker 3: is try and make it as specific to running as possible.
- 11:36Speaker 3: So elliptical in my mind, is kind of one of
- 11:40Speaker 3: those things where you're still on your feet.
- 11:41Speaker 2: It's a still more reciprocal bipedal motion.
- 11:43Speaker 3: You know, you're you're working the legs in a similar fashion,
- 11:47Speaker 3: at least more similar to running than you would be
- 11:49Speaker 3: say like swimming. Right, So swimming is a total anti
- 11:52Speaker 3: gravity motion. Even aqua jogging, it's it's anti gravity. It's similar,
- 11:57Speaker 3: like you're turning the legs over, but it's not quite
- 11:59Speaker 3: the same. So I usually trying to get people on
- 12:01Speaker 3: the elliptical if I can, that's usually my go to.
- 12:05Speaker 3: That's usually the one that people don't like the least,
- 12:07Speaker 3: but yeah, I think it's that one of the best.
- 12:09Speaker 1: Okay, So then the question arises, when do you draw
- 12:13Speaker 1: the line between deciding Okay, I can manage this and
- 12:18Speaker 1: pushed forward versus I need to abort.
- 12:22Speaker 3: It's totally person dependent, right, depends on the injury, depends
- 12:25Speaker 3: on the person's training age, you know, how long and
- 12:28Speaker 3: how much experience they have with running. It depends on
- 12:31Speaker 3: the severity of symptoms. So in general, with tenanopathies, what
- 12:36Speaker 3: tendonitis sort of symptoms that have been longer than just
- 12:39Speaker 3: that tendonitis acute phase, things that are kind of going
- 12:42Speaker 3: more into the week. Plus, uh, those those teninopathy issues,
- 12:46Speaker 3: we're pushing a lot more.
- 12:48Speaker 2: Than we used to. In the P two world.
- 12:50Speaker 3: Used to be just kind of you know, ice stretch,
- 12:53Speaker 3: you know, roll, those sorts of things. But what we
- 12:56Speaker 3: know about tendons is that they respond really well to loading,
- 12:59Speaker 3: and so you need to kind of strike that balance
- 13:01Speaker 3: between loading too much and irritating the tendon and loading
- 13:05Speaker 3: too little where the tendon's not getting stronger. Really similar
- 13:08Speaker 3: to a muscle where if you were to do one
- 13:10Speaker 3: hundred bicep curls, your arm would be sore, but you
- 13:13Speaker 3: know you're going to get stronger, the muscle's going to
- 13:15Speaker 3: grow really similar with the tendon. You're going to get
- 13:17Speaker 3: some of that growth and some of that positive benefit
- 13:20Speaker 3: and adaptation from a loading program. Again, it's just it's
- 13:23Speaker 3: something that can't be done too much, but it's also
- 13:25Speaker 3: something you don't want to do too little of, So
- 13:27Speaker 3: resting is no good, and then continuing to run or
- 13:31Speaker 3: push things might not be too good either. That said,
- 13:34Speaker 3: with some of the tendinopathy issues, it's I totally give
- 13:37Speaker 3: people the okay to run, knowing that running itself is
- 13:40Speaker 3: a positive stress.
- 13:41Speaker 2: So you consider running.
- 13:42Speaker 3: Apply metric exercise right, and you're bounding from one leg
- 13:45Speaker 3: to the next, and in some ways it's the best
- 13:48Speaker 3: exercise for running as long as it's dosed appropriately. So
- 13:51Speaker 3: as long as the tendinopathy is mild enough and they're
- 13:55Speaker 3: not experiencing any more than like a five sometimes six
- 13:58Speaker 3: out of ten pain, then I said tended up is
- 14:01Speaker 3: one of those things that you can sort of train through.
- 14:04Speaker 2: Generally as a general states general, Yeah.
- 14:08Speaker 3: But it's totally person dependent and case dependent, and you
- 14:11Speaker 3: need to make sure that all that's backed up with
- 14:12Speaker 3: the appropriate strength program as well, because that's that's what's
- 14:16Speaker 3: laying the foundation for a lot of this uh, that's
- 14:18Speaker 3: what's going to allow you to run in the future.
- 14:20Speaker 1: I know last year I was dealing with a little
- 14:23Speaker 1: bit of ham string stress, and all of the work
- 14:26Speaker 1: that I did was completely contingent on just strengthening, whether
- 14:29Speaker 1: it was single like deadlifts or squats or just some
- 14:32Speaker 1: things to kind of add some strength to that area.
- 14:35Speaker 1: And within you know, two and a half weeks of
- 14:37Speaker 1: consistent strength program, which is something that I should be
- 14:39Speaker 1: doing all the time, I felt a dramatic difference in
- 14:43Speaker 1: how it was handling my running.
- 14:44Speaker 3: It's a little counterintuitive, right, because you've just strained this
- 14:47Speaker 3: muscle by exercising it too hard, So why would the
- 14:50Speaker 3: why would the remedy.
- 14:52Speaker 2: Be to put more exercise into it? Right?
- 14:54Speaker 3: But as long as it's dost appropriately and you're not
- 14:56Speaker 3: breaching that capacity that your hamspring.
- 14:58Speaker 2: Can handle, it's going to bond.
- 15:00Speaker 3: Well, that's that's essentially what happens when when you exercise
- 15:03Speaker 3: to that limit, is you're you have these micro tears
- 15:05Speaker 3: of their muscle fiber, and then the body responds by
- 15:08Speaker 3: building that backed on.
- 15:09Speaker 2: So same thing with a hamstring tear.
- 15:10Speaker 1: I think you're kind of a knight in shining armor
- 15:12Speaker 1: by telling people that in most cases they can keep
- 15:15Speaker 1: running totally.
- 15:17Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah, that's why I like, I want to get
- 15:20Speaker 2: on the phone with people.
- 15:21Speaker 3: I want to like have people into the office as
- 15:22Speaker 3: soon as like they have something, because almost always there's
- 15:25Speaker 3: a training modification that can be made, or there's uh,
- 15:28Speaker 3: you know, a slight modification to their training that they
- 15:31Speaker 3: can do, they'll keep them running. So almost never in
- 15:34Speaker 3: the answer is okay, you need to stop, like let's
- 15:36Speaker 3: get change the boot. Sometimes that's the case, but almost
- 15:39Speaker 3: always like keep running. We just need we might need
- 15:42Speaker 3: to rethink about how you're doing it.
- 15:44Speaker 1: Any other last minute advice for upcoming marathonors, Oh gosh,
- 15:50Speaker 1: a word of wisdom for departing Yeah, no, manage.
- 15:53Speaker 2: Your loads appropriately. You know.
- 15:55Speaker 3: Strength, I can't cannot overemphasize strength. You know, it should
- 15:58Speaker 3: be at the cornerstone of not only a performance strategy,
- 16:02Speaker 3: but also you rehab strategy too. If there's not some
- 16:06Speaker 3: sort of strength component, then I think you're missing a big,
- 16:08Speaker 3: big pace.
- 16:09Speaker 1: How often would you say that a runner should be
- 16:11Speaker 1: strength training during the week.
- 16:12Speaker 3: Yeah, so with strength training, if I'm working with a
- 16:15Speaker 3: more performance type athlete, I'll do like two days and
- 16:17Speaker 3: more of this like maintenance, core tissue capacity building, strengthen
- 16:21Speaker 3: durance type training, and then I'll try and get them
- 16:24Speaker 3: in the gym twice a week for more of a
- 16:26Speaker 3: performance cyclift, more of those heavier Olympic deadlift style lifts,
- 16:31Speaker 3: more creative towards power output, neural drive, things like that.
- 16:35Speaker 3: So more the recreational runner, I would consider like three
- 16:37Speaker 3: to five to be a good thing to am more
- 16:39Speaker 3: of that core building tissue capacity. That's what's going to
- 16:42Speaker 3: help protect you against injury.
