Key Principles for Pain-free Running

Published: July 3, 2024, 7:49 a.m.

If you struggle with staying healthy or you\u2019re looking for new ways to improve your running, then this episode is for you! Dr Matt Silver is passionate about helping runners unlock their potential and joined me to chat about his key principles for helping athletes run pain-free and perform at their best.

Matt has many years of experience dealing with running injuries both as a runner and a physiotherapist. His latest book titled \u201cBuilt to run\u201d is self-described as being like a car manual for staying healthy and he has a way of cutting through the noise to give you the most important information to make meaningful changes. This information is meant to help you with becoming a more durable runner and fix common running problems. If you love to run, then you know how much injuries suck. Luckily, the purpose of this conversation is to keep you running and having fun in the sport.

Some of the questions we\u2019ll answer include include:

  • How do you treat and prevent some of the most common running injuries?
  • Do runners really need to stretch?
  • What is the difference between mobility work and strength training?
  • Does heel-striking actually increase your risk of injury?
  • How can you prevent yourself from getting the same injuries over again?

The best way to improve your running is to be consistent with training, which requires staying healthy. We covered a ton of great injury-related topics in this interview that will help anyone listening to prevent injuries, recover from injuries, or bounce back from an injury.\xa0

Bace
\xa0
CBD is perhaps one of the most innovative, and misunderstood, supplements in the endurance world right now.
\xa0
The biggest advantage of CBD for a runner like you is the anti-inflammatory properties. CBD can help your muscles heal and recover faster. Additionally, CBD can help you sleep better, which also leads to better rest and improved recovery times.
\xa0
What CBD will not do is make you high and it is non-toxic. It is even approved by the World Anti Doping Agency.
\xa0
If you ever tried CBD before and found it to be too weak or strong, or you haven\u2019t tried it yet because you\u2019re not sure how to best start, then Bace Health\u2019s Discovery Pack is a game changer.
\xa0
The Discovery Pack leads you through a 7-day experience for you to find your perfect dose by slowly increasing from 10mg to 50mg. It\u2019s the perfect way to dip your toes into CBD.

If you want to see just how much CBD can improve your recovery, now is the time to give it a try. Right now you can get half off the Discovery Pack, alongside a FREE sample of their balm. That\u2019s 50% off, from $25 to just $12.50!\xa0
