Key Principles for Pain-free Running
Manage episode 426910490 series 1325977
If you struggle with staying healthy or you’re 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 “Built to run” 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’ll 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.

This week’s show brought to you by:
Bace CBD is perhaps one of the most innovative, and misunderstood, supplements in the endurance world right now. 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. What CBD will not do is make you high and it is non-toxic. It is even approved by the World Anti Doping Agency. If you ever tried CBD before and found it to be too weak or strong, or you haven’t tried it yet because you’re not sure how to best start, then Bace Health’s Discovery Pack is a game changer. 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’s 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’s 50% off, from $25 to just $12.50! All you have to do is visit BaceHealth.com/RunnersConnect or enter the discount code ‘RunnersConnect’ at checkout to pick up your Discovery Pack and prioritize your recovery today.
LMNT
Maintaining healthy electrolyte levels will not only improve performance and endurance on the run, but can help with preventing headaches, maintaining a healthy weight, and help with recovery.
That’s why we recommend all runners check out LMNT. It's loaded with everything you need to replenish your electrolyte balance with 1000mg of sodium, 200mg of potassium, and 60mg of magnesium, and doesn't include anything you don't need like extra sugar or anything artificial.
Even better, they are currently running a special deal where you can get a free LMNT Sample Pack with any order. So, order your favorite flavor and get a free sample pack to try out new flavors or share with your running friends.
