BUT ... Its all about a careful progression of training load ...!!! Get the right guidance from your trusted coach and Physio .. :) D

No single foot strike pattern is superior! In most cases it's best to stick with a runner's habitual strike pattern and focus on other areas when treating injury or enhancing performance.

Cross-training is a great way for injured athletes to maintain fitness. Look for options that are comfortable in terms of symptoms and easily accessible for the patient.

Recover .. Repair .. Reload .. Repeat …!! …. 🙂 D

Recent research suggests that chocolate milk can be a more effective recovery option than many traditional sports or energy drinks.

One of the main reasons is its carbohydrate-to-protein balance, which sits at about 3:1. This ratio is ideal for restoring glycogen reserves while also supporting muscle repair.

On top of that, chocolate milk provides fluids and electrolytes to replace what’s lost through sweat, helping runners and athletes bounce back stronger for their next workout.

Sports drinks may offer quick hydration and fast carbohydrates, but they lack the protein needed for proper muscle recovery. Energy drinks, on the other hand, often come loaded with sugar and caffeine, which can hinder recovery and aren’t the best choice for hydration.

It’s also important to note that while sugar is technically considered an electrolyte, too much of it can actually disrupt magnesium absorption and increase its loss, which may worsen dehydration.

For those using chocolate milk as a recovery drink, choosing a low-sugar or sugar-free option is key. Avoid making it with syrups or mixes high in added sugar, as that cancels out many of the recovery benefits. When chosen wisely, chocolate milk can be a simple, effective, and delicious post-workout recovery drink.

Start with a strong base of consistently, recovery and fuelling and then progress up the pyramid by building volume then adding intensity and S&C.
