Summary

Now, my goal at Strength Running is to always show you the most effective approach. The training that will most likely get you to achieve your biggest goals.

That’s why we don’t waste time on minutiae. We don’t chase shiny objects like CrossFit Endurance or wonder if we should go keto or run all of our miles barefoot.

We focus on what has been shown to conclusively work for runners.

As you can imagine, some prevention strategies are better than others:

If the goal is a fast marathon, great long runs are more effective than pool running workouts
If the goal is a fast mile, speed development is more critical than foam rolling or core routines
If the goal is to stay healthy long-term, a good dose of strength training is better than regular ice baths

This episode will rank the most effective injury prevention strategies so you know which one to choose for your needs.

0:00.0	Ready, set, go.
0:04.8	This is episode 80, all about injury prevention and how to choose the most effective prevention
0:09.6	strategy for you. Hello everyone welcome back to another episode of the pod I hope you enjoyed my

0:45.6	I also want to take a quick moment and thank Gerard publicly in front of the entire
0:50.5	podcast community for a review on iTunes that just really made my day.
0:56.0	Thank you so much, Gerard.
0:58.0	He said, Jason is the real deal in the running and coaching community.
1:01.0	While his podcasts are accessible for all levels of runners, he is super
1:04.5	helpful for those with more than a beginner's knowledge of the sport. Please venture to listen to the
1:08.8	episodes that you think you may not find interesting. These have always included awesome nuggets
1:13.7	of running and general health knowledge.
1:16.0	I have learned something from every episode.
1:18.0	Bravo, and thank you, Jason, for all the hard work.
1:20.5	Well, Gerard, thank you for the review and for everyone listening. I think there's a really great
1:26.8	nugget in this review that I wanted to share. And that's what Gerard mentions about listening to episodes that you may not find
1:36.8	super interesting or it may not be a topic that is directly relevant to you.
1:41.6	My thought on this is that if you can find just one
1:45.6	piece of information or a nugget, as Gerard calls it, to apply to your running, it's
