Easy Runs Are Not Junk MilesPodcast description

They are meant to be easy, yes, but that does not mean they are throwaway runs. In this episode ... more

On today's episode of The Distance Dr Daily with Dr Kate, she discusses how long runs are the cornerstone of marathon training, but most of the questions runners actually have, how far, how often, how hard, when to peak, and what to practise, don't a... more

  • Great Strength Training Podcast

    This podcast stands out by doing something surprisingly rare: it takes the science seriously without losing practicality. Kate, clearly has a deep understanding of exercise physiology, and it shows in how she breaks down complex topics into explanations that are both evidence-based and genuinely useful.

    What makes it especially compelling is the consistent use of current research. Instead of relying on outdated gym myths or anecdotal advice, Kate references studies, explains their context, and ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep 9: Stress Fracture Recovery: Fueling, Cross-Training & Return to Run (Part 2) | Updietitian
Q: What role does nutrition play in recovery, particularly around training days?
Nutrition should be periodized with training load; ensure adequate energy availability weekly, with extra carbohydrates around training sessions, and emphasize protein and fats to support healing and hormonal balance, avoiding energy deficits.
Ep 9: Stress Fracture Recovery: Fueling, Cross-Training & Return to Run (Part 2) | Updietitian
Q: How should athletes approach cross-training during bone stress injury recovery?
Cross-training can be used judiciously, but it isn't a blanket permission to push hard; focus on non-load-bearing options or low-load activities and avoid overloading the healing bone while still maintaining energy balance and overall fitness.
Ep 9: Stress Fracture Recovery: Fueling, Cross-Training & Return to Run (Part 2) | Updietitian
Q: From a recovery perspective, what does management look like and what should we expect if a stress injury occurs?
Management is individualized based on pain levels, injury site, severity, and the athlete's overall context; low-risk injuries may allow some non-impact activity, while high-risk sites often require more conservative strategies and imaging to confirm healing before return to impact.
8: Bone Stress Injuries: Why They “Come Out of Nowhere” (and What’s Really Going On)|w/ Up Dietitian
Q: What are some other early symptoms or signs athletes should watch for besides menstrual changes?
Chronic fatigue, consistently low motivation to train, poor recovery, longer recovery times, insomnia, mood changes, reduced training progress, and subtle biomechanical weaknesses can all signal energy deficit or other contributing factors to bone stress injuries.
8: Bone Stress Injuries: Why They “Come Out of Nowhere” (and What’s Really Going On)|w/ Up Dietitian
Q: What exactly is low energy availability, and why isn't it just calories in versus calories out?
Low energy availability is when daily energy intake isn't enough to support both basic physiological functions (like reproduction and bone remodeling) and exercise demands, meaning the body shifts into a 'low-power' state. It's not simply about total calories; it's about the balance between intake and the energy cost of all daily activities and training, including non-exercise needs.
