Happy 2023! Looking for more reasons to convince your partner, family, friends, coworkers, clients, neighbours etc. to start running?Running decreases your risk of all-cause mortality by 27%, death from cardiovascular disease by 30%, and death from cancer by 23%!! (Pedisic et al. 2020)Yes, we all know our chances of dying are 100%... 😉 These percentages are your "relative risk" - if you compare someone who runs with someone who doesn't, the runner will have decreased risk of death from all-cause, cardiovascular disease, and cancer by those numbers. And, the authors noted that any amount of running, even just once a week, is better than no running 😃#running #runningmotivation #runninginspo #runningcommunity #runnersofinstagram #runnersofinsta #runnersofIG #runningscience #runningislife #runners #runningexperts by @therunningclinic

🏃🏻‍♀️Types of running injuries 🏃🏼‍♂️Not all running injuries are the same, but one way to categorize them is based on whether the primary stressor is load, range of motion, or repetition. Advice on managing a running injury will depend on what the primary cause of the issue is!👋 Runners, this post is not meant to replace medical advice. If in doubt, consult a healthcare professional (Ideally one that has taken additional training in treating runners! 😉) Save this post for later or share with a running friend!👋 Healthcare professionals, save this post for reference! If you’d like to learn all about assessing and treating runners, check out our Course 1.0: New Trends in the Prevention of Running Injuries.

New blog article | Does ice soothe the pain or the injury?Applying ice after an injury is a deeply ingrained reflex in sports medicine. Yet its most clearly supported effect appears to be more analgesic — temporarily modulating pain — than truly accelerating tissue repair.In this new article, Mélanie Fournier, PhD candidate in psychology and part of The Running Clinic team for over 10 years, offers a nuanced reflection on the role of ice in managing running-related injuries.👉 https://therunningclinic.com/runners/blog/does-ice-soothe-the-pain-or-the-injury/ by @therunningclinic

⛰️ What About Hills? Do They ‘Pay the Bills’?Strength training is a staple for runners. But is it always the best approach?👉 What if hills already do more of the job than we think?In this blog, Waldo Cheung explores a compelling idea: while we carefully plan gym sessions, many of the world’s best runners are simply… running. A lot. And often on hilly terrain.🔎 What it raises:- strength matters—but in what form?- lab-based gains don’t always translate perfectly to running- hills might be a more functional, sport-specific alternative💡 Takeaway: more isn’t always better—but more specific often is. Sometimes, the smartest strength work is already built into your run.A must-read if you’re rethinking your balance between gym and mileage. by @therunningclinic

Thank you, Calgary! 🙌 We wrapped up another course with @therunningclinic this weekend. This time, it was the 1.1 - focused on refining diagnostic skills and building clear frameworks to help narrow down running injury diagnoses. 🔎 Big thanks to the team at @peakhealthcalgary for hosting and everyone who came out from across Canada. 🙏 See you in Port Coquitlam for the 1.1 in May!

Negative split isn’t just a race strategy — it’s one of the clearest hallmarks of elite performance.By holding back slightly early on, you limit early fatigue, preserve your running economy, and give yourself the best chance to finish strong when it matters most.From lactate threshold to VO₂ kinetics, central fatigue resistance, and perceptual regulation, pacing plays a major role in performance.Sometimes, the smartest way to run faster… is to start a little slower.Infographic by @thephyziotherapist by @therunningclinic
