Summary

Niggly pains and aches are among the hardest aspects of running at any level. The intuition and detective work needed to decipher whether a nagging pain is just a passing change taking place in your body, a part of the normal discomfort of pushing yourself or something that if left unchecked will develop into something way more serious - can be immense. Whether you suffer with tender shins, heals, toes, arches or hips, tight achilles or glutes, Irish athletics legend, Sonia O’Sullivan is here to help with the detective work you need to do. Together with Jarlath she tries to provide some simple no nonsense solutions and guides to help with whatever ails you. There’s also a preview of this week’s Elevation event, our listener of the week, the conclusion of Shoe Dog and a discussion of whether a sliotar is a ball or not.
