Training modifications to reduce injury

We all know that injuries are the biggest impediment to our continued progression and improvement. The longer you can get in uninterrupted training, the more consistently you’ll improve.

That said, there’s a lot we can do (or at least should be doing) to modify our training to reduce the risk of injury.

To help us dig deep into exactly what these elements are, we’re interviewing Ethan Paster. 

Ethan is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist and has extensive experience working with runners one-on-one to keep them healthy and build back safely from existing injuries.

We’re going to cover…

• When it’s okay to run through and injury and when it’s not (and how to go about it safely)
• The most important modifications you can make to your training to decrease injury risk
• How to deal with pain management when returning from an injury
• And much more.

This is a great interview for any new runner, but also a great reminder for experienced runners as well.

Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers. 

Supplementing with magnesium before you go to bed has been shown in scientific studies to…

• Increase in muscle oxygenation during high intensity exercise
• Reduce inflammation 
• Significantly improve sleep quality
• Improve aerobic exercise capacity when training.

When you’re looking for a magnesium supplement, make sure you take one that is organic and has all 7 unique forms of magnesium. 

Our recommendation is Magnesium Breakthrough from Bioptimizers because it’s made with the highest quality, organic magnesium and contains all 7 critical forms. Most other magnesium supplements are synthetic and only contain one or two forms of magnesium, which is simply not enough.
