    🎙️ Podcast: Science on Track – Week-to-Week Changes in Running Volume

    Host: Evan O. Nelson - Associate Professor, Physical Therapist and Director of the Velocity Project

    Guests:

    • Dr. Mikel Joachim – Research Program Manager, University of Wisconsin

    • Coach Jane Wheeler – Head Girls Cross Country Coach, Pleasant Valley High School, Bettendorf, Iowa

    🧪 Study Overview

    The episode centers on a research study titled:“Week-to-week changes in training were not prospectively associated with injuries among Wisconsin High School cross-country runners” (published in Injury Prevention, 2024).

    https://injuryprevention.bmj.com/content/early/2024/07/31/ip-2024-045233

    🔍 Study Purpose

    To investigate whether week-to-week changes in training volume (distance, duration, intensity) are associated with injury risk in high school cross-country runners.



    📊 Key Findings

    • No significant association was found between week-to-week changes in training volume and injury risk.

    • Most runners in the study averaged 20–30 miles per week, with few exceeding 50 miles.

    • Preseason training had a strong protective effect:

      • Every additional 5K (~3 miles) run per week in the preseason reduced injury risk by 17%.

    • Coaches’ day-to-day training modifications likely play a major role in injury prevention, even if not captured in weekly data.



    🧠 Insights from the Guests

    🧑‍🔬 Dr. Mikel Joachim:

    • Null results suggest that current coaching practices in Wisconsin high school programs are effective in managing injury risk.

    • The study relied on daily text surveys during COVID, with athletes self-reporting training and injuries.

    • Emphasized the importance of holistic athlete monitoring, including stress, sleep, and other sports participation.

    🏃‍♀️ Coach Jane Wheeler:

    • Reinforced the importance of individualized coaching and preseason preparation.

    • Noted that injury risk is multifactorial, often influenced by training history, biomechanics, and external stressors.

    • Advocated for flexibility in coaching and communication with athletes to adapt training in real time.



    🧩 Practical Takeaways for Coaches

    • Preseason training matters: Encourage consistent summer/winter running to reduce injury risk.

    • Small weekly increases (up to 30%) in training volume appear safe.

    • The 10% rule is not strongly supported by evidence—coaches can be more flexible.

    • Monitor athletes holistically: Consider stress, sleep, and other commitments.

    • Build strong coach-athlete relationships to better detect and respond to early signs of injury.
