UR Podcast S02E07: Training Through Injury
If there's one thing that is deemed to go hand in hand with sport, with training, with gym work or gym life, it's injury. For some, it's major - broken bones here, dislocations there, a trip to A&E here, surgery there.For others, it can be minor - a bump, a bruise, a scrape, a sprain, an ache, all of which you try and ensure don't develop into something more.But no matter how big or small, one thing's for certain - injuries aren't any fun and can be hugely frustrating, regardless of what level of fitness you're at. From preventing or restricting certain movements, to keeping you off your feet for days, weeks or even months, the impact of any injury can be huge and long-lasting.So, how do we combat injury? Or more to the point, if we're being met where we're at, how do we assess our injury and train around or through it?Injury can come to us all, and through it, we can become more resilient, more robust. Just ask Coach Andy, who went from operating full tilt to barely mustering 3,000 steps in a day off the back of spinal surgery.On this episode,e we'll talk about that injury journey and, backed by our 'do no harm' rule when it comes to coaching, look at how we can navigate training pre, through and post injury.Here's to our penultimate episode, and remaining (relatively) injury-free!Subscribe today wherever you get your podcasts, and if you've got 30 seconds to spare, consider leaving a review or five-star rating on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.
