Does condensing hard efforts increase injury risk?

Brodie Sharpe is a physiotherapist, the host of the Run Smarter Podcast, and author of Run Smarter.

As a Physical therapist who specializes in endurance runners, Brodie Sharpe takes a holistic approach to injury prevention. He helps runners learn how to correct mistakes and work with their bodies to get healthy. Brodie emphasizes the importance of looking at training as well as your lifestyle around it, since every aspect of what you do impacts how you feel and perform.

• how to figure out what caused it

• the training changes needed to prevent it from recurring

• how to update your preparation to make yourself more resilient

• what to do if you can't figure out the reason + and a lot more

After resisting most supplements for the better part of my life, I know as a Masters runner that I need to be my healthiest self for as long as possible. I'm excited to partner with Previnex to make that happen.

Previnex is different: they use the most bioavailable, clinically tested ingredients, the optimal form and dose of each ingredient, pharmaceutical grade manufacturing, and testing of raw ingredients AND finished products. For every purchase you make, they also donate vitamins to kids in need.

Their new Muscle Health Plus is something I'm now taking (as well as Joint Health+). Turning 40 – and having a thin frame – has made me realize that I need to prioritize lean muscle mass to stay healthy and age well. Muscle Health Plus has creatine, essential and branched chain amino acids, and it's designed in a way to maximize protein synthesis and the absorption of amino acids.

Muscle Health Plus will help you prevent muscle damage, which is particularly important for aging runners who want to protect themselves from muscle loss and recover faster after hard workouts. As is true for all of their products, Previnex adheres to the highest of standards: their ingredients are clinically proven to do what they say they're going to do.

They're now offering international shipping so if you live in the UK, Canada, Australia, or anywhere around the world, you can try Previnex as well!

Previnex offers a 30-day money back guarantee. If you don't feel the benefits of their product, you get your money back no questions asked. With their focus on quality and customer satisfaction, I hope you'll try it!
