Summary
In this episode, Matthew Boyd discusses the common issue of running injuries, emphasizing that most injuries are repetitive stress injuries caused by training. He outlines three critical components for injury prevention: building muscular strength, strengthening the structures (tendons, ligaments, etc.), and refining running technique.

Boyd introduces the concept of the 'adaptive runner,' who understands how to manage their training to prevent injuries and maintain a lifelong running practice.
