  • Summary

  • This episode discusses clinical commentary from the Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy, arguing that runners and coaches should move beyond solely focusing on weekly distance when quantifying and monitoring training load. The authors explain that running distance is only one aspect of training stress and fails to capture the full picture of the mechanical, physiological, and psychological demands of running. They advocate for a more comprehensive approach that considers both external factors such as volume and pace, and internal factors such as perceived exertion and heart rate. The commentary highlights the growing use of wearable technology to measure biomechanical variables during running, which could offer a more accurate understanding of training stress and injury risk.
