#Ep23: My guest on this episode was meant to be Dr Derek Griffin but sadly technical difficulties prevented this (we will be rescheduling). But fear not, from its ashes an impromptu Q&A was born... Faced with listeners who had tuned in for the LIVE recording of this podcast on our Facebook Page, this episode became an on the spot Q&A with host Matt Phillips, aka Me. According to feedback so far, it was received pretty well! We may well even make it a regular thing!

#Ep.24: "All novice runners should consider minimalist shoes" - says JF Esculier, Vice President & Director of Research & Development at The Running Clinic Vancouver, and our special guest for this episode! In 2009, 'Born To Run' by Christopher MacDougall sparked an explosion in barefoot running, fuelled in no small part by the research of Professor Daniel Lieberman producing anatomical evidence that humans are the world’s best distance runners, meaning the wearing of shoes is therefore abnormal. In the ten years that pursued, many runners discovered the hard way that progressing too quickly into barefoot running or minimalist shoes can bring rapid injury, especially to the achilles and calf complex, but there are still many who believe that novice runners in particular should not be afraid to try minimalist shoes instead of immediately opting for the traditional heavily cushioned and structured shoe. Jean-Francois (JF) Esculier graduated as a physiotherapist in 2009 and has been combining clinical and research work ever since. As Vice President & Director of Research & Development at The Running Clinic Vancouver, a company founded by Blaise Dubois (former consultant for Athletics Canada), JF certainly presents a thorough argument in this episode, which is hardly surprising as the Running Clinic is today a leading international source of information in the prevention of running injury.

#Ep.27: "So Pain Is All In My Head?" with Greg Lehman  - Many runners are starting to hear/read more frequently that although a particular pain FEELS like it's coming from e.g. the knee, it's actually being outputted by the brain & nervous system. An explanation of the significance of this distinction typically follows, but by then all the average runner is thinking is "So you're saying this pain is in my HEAD?" Needless to say, this can often be harmful for the therapist/runner relationship!  But fear not, because in this episode we have one of the best in the business here with us on Runchatlive to help explain how both therapists & runners can deal with such issues: Gregory Lehman. There's few who have had such a long & impressive career as Gregory Lehman. He was one of two students who back in 1996 trained with the highly respected Professor Stuart McGill in the Occupational Biomechanics Laboratory. As an assistant professor at the Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College teaching a graduate level course in Spine Biomechanics and Instrumentation, Greg has published over 20 peer reviewed papers in the manual therapy & exercise biomechanics field. Today, Gregory Lehman takes his internationally acclaimed  'Reconciling Biomechanics with Pain Science' workshop around the world and is regarded as a leading authority. Using his incredible knowledge of research, Greg shows how a simple yet science based interpretation of biomechanics can be complemented with concepts from modern pain science. Sadly, Greg is not able to join us at the up & coming the 'RCL International Running Conference 2019' this October 30/31 in Brighton, UK (full details: https://RCL2019.eventbrite.com).

#Ep.28: "Strength Training For Runners" with Jason Fitzgerald Jason Fitzgerald finished the 2008 New York Marathon in 2:44 but with a severe ITB injury. Unable to run for six months, Jason put his time into investigating ways to not just recover but also reduce risk of future injury. It seems he found it... From 2009, Jason was able to run more than ever, achieving a 5+ minute PB at the Philadelphia Marathon in 2:39:32, 1st-place at the 2011 Moraine Hills Half Marathon, 2012 Maryland Warrior Dash and 2013 Potomac River Run Marathon. His secret… strength work.

In 2010, to celebrate & share his discovery, Jason created strengthrunning.com. It quickly grew to become one of the largest running blogs on the web with over 200,000 readers per month, and has been featured in Runner’s World, Competitor Magazine, USA Today, The Huffington Post, and most other major media.

As a USA Track & Field certified coach, Jason is the author of ‘101 Simple Ways to be a Better Runner’ and ‘Running for Health and Happiness’, both of which were #1 best-sellers in the running category on Amazon.

Sounds like the perfect guest to talk about strength training for runners! Jason won't be speaking at this year's 'RCL International Running Conference 2019' October 30/31 in Brighton, UK (full details: https://RCL2019.eventbrite.com) but we are determined to get him next year!

#Ep.29: "Tips For The Older Runner" with Dr Rich Willy This is a HUGELY valuable episode for any 40+yrs old runner, plus anyone who works with runners of this age! Many runners know all to well that hitting 40+ years brings changes; pace decreases, recovery takes longer, injury patterns change. The good news is there ARE specific things we can do to minimise the effects of age, plus some of the things we may be worrying about like 'wear & tear on the knees' are not actually true. All this and more will be explained by our very special guest, a leading authority in current running research, Dr. Richard Willy of University of Montana - School of Physical Therapy. When it comes to running research, Dr. Rich Willy is one of the leaders of the pack. With a PhD in Biomechanics and Movement Science and a masters of physical therapy, he has over 18 years clinical experience specializing in the treatment of the injured runner and is currently Assistant Professor in the School of Physical Therapy, University of Montana. As the author of multiple published papers aimed at developing clinically effective treatments for patellofemoral pain syndrome, Achilles tendon injuries and tibial stress fractures, Dr. Willy is a highly respected presenter both nationally & internationally and his research has been featured in Runner’s World multiple times. Though Rich is sadly not able to be a speaker at this year's RCL Running Conference, we're going to do everything we can to get him over next year!

In this 'Brighton Beard Company Special', we take some time away from running injury & performance to chat with Lloyd Kite, co-founder of our lovely sponsors 'The Brighton Beard Company '. We should WARN you that to enjoy this episode you will therefore need to fit into one of the following categories: • Have a beard / moustache • Want a beard / moustache • Be interested in beards / moustaches Lloyd tells us about how the company started, from its beginnings in the kitchen of his partner's parents' house to what is today a 3000 square meter enterprise with offices upstairs & manufacturing downstairs. We hear of the development of the oils, balms, shampoo bars and brushes, as well as reason for the recent redesign this January past. We hear some great about advice for anyone looking to grow a beard or who's struggling with getting past the first month or two, and we take look at beards throughout history, from prehistoric man through to pharaohs with false beards, Alexander The Great ordering his men to be clean shaven so that the enemy could not grab hold of their beards, plus the origins of World Beard Day (first Saturday of September). We also take a moment to reflect on why the resurgence of beards in 2013 has not yet faded away, drawing some interesting parallels with the fact that in these modern times there has been a welcomed shift in the ability of men to no longer be embarrassed about talking about grooming products, smelling good and feeling confident. We are all too familiar with the tragic consequences that can occur when men feel unable to talk about their emotions. We had a great time chatting with Lloyd and hope you enjoy listening back to our ramblings. Remember there is a 15% DISCOUNT on all products at www.thebrightonbeardcompany.co.uk when you use the code 'RCL15' at checkout. For the clean shaven of you who felt alienated by this special episode, fear not as we'll be back to normal in pursuing Sundays.

Jeff Gaudette, founder & head coach at Runners Connect, talks to us about how to train seriously for the 5k distance, something that a lot of runners fail to do either by choice (attracted more by the lights of a half or full marathon) or by making common mistakes. As a writer for the website I am obviously biased but if you have not done so already I seriosuly recommend you head over to www.runnersconnect.net and check out their coaching packages. Jeff Gaudette has competed all over the world and recorded Olympic Trials qualifying times in the marathon and 10,000 meters. He began coaching in 2005 while a member of the Hansons-Brooks professional team. With a 13:59 PB over 5k and 2:22 at marathon, he founded 'RunnersConnect' in 2011 with the goal of helping runners find real, research-based answers to questions about their training and avoiding the latest fads.

"Finding The Right Therapist" - with Mike James (a.k.a. The Endurance Physio) and Malcolm Sloan (founder of Sports Injury Fix). The frustration of running injury is often doubled by seeing your hard earned dosh💰disappearing on therapy sessions. Finding a therapist who CAN help you is sadly not as easy as it sounds... and we all know treatment & advice can vary considerably depending on who you see. Fortunately, our TWO speakers are at hand to try and help make that a thing of the past! In this episode, we see the return of Mike James (a.k.a. The Endurance Physio), this time joined by Malcolm Sloan, founder of Sports Injury Fix. Many therapists all over the UK use www.sportsinjuryfix.com as both a directory for listing their services AND a software system for taking bookings in clinic. Runners (and indeed anyone) are also able to use the website as a way of locating therapists local to their area with the desired set of skills for the particular issue they are having.  Runners, this episode highlights what YOU can do to successfully find a therapist who will get you back on track a.s.a.p. with minimum expenditure, and without seeing the same issue return within weeks. Therapists, we discuss what YOU can do to help your services get discovered by runners and stand out from the non-evidence based crowd. As always, this episode was recorded LIVE at www.facebook.com/runchatlive on a Sunday (time varies depending on location of guest/s). Episodes are later uploaded to YouTube and as audio podcasts on Spotify, iTunes, Podbean, Stitcher, etc. Both formats can also be found on website https://www.runchatlive.com/ THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

Special guest Nils Oudhuis, creator of awesome education website TrustMe-Ed and Facebook Group Trust me, I'm a Physiotherapist talks to us about his experiences training to become a Physiotherapist, and how the obstacles he discovered caused him to set up his Facebook Group and eventually the website. The conversation focuses on the variety of CPD (Continued Professional Development) choices out there and to what extent the content they deliver to Physiotherapists & other health care professionals actually help in delivering a better service to runners suffering from injury & pain. We also take a look at misconceptions surrounding the topic of 'posture' and discuss how clearing up certain yths can be a good way to start becoming a more evidence based practitioner.

El síndrome banda iliotibial (ITBS) es una lesión muy común en corredores. Es la segunda causa principal de dolor de rodilla y la causa más común de dolor lateral de rodilla. Para facilitar el manejo de ITBS basado en la evidencia, se necesita aprender sobre la etiología, el diagnóstico y el tratamiento de esta lesión. A menudo, esto no es tan simple como parece porque los estudios con frecuencia se contradicen entre sí.

It is the second leading cause of knee pain and the most common cause of lateral knee pain. To facilitate evidence-based management of ITBS, one needs to learn about the etiology, diagnosis, and treatment of this injury. This is often not as simple as it sounds because studies often contradict each other. Fortunately, in this episode of Runchatlive (for the first time in Spanish!) we have the pleasure of speaking with physical therapist Manuela Besomi, who has been working on ITBS as part of her PhD in Australia. JOIN US FOR FUTURE EPISODES! Runchatlive episodes are recorded LIVE on Thursdays at 8pm (UK time) on our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/MattPhillipsRCL. Details of up and coming episodes are posted at www.runchatlive.com.   If you prefer to watch or listen in your own time, here are some options: • Video/audio on our website https://www.runchatlive.com/ • Video on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/runchatlive • Podcast on your preferred podcast player e.g. Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, Stitcher, etc.

#Ep.1: Welcome to where it all started... the very first episode of RunChatLive, recorded just before a Sunday clinic shift without any planning, using nothing else except a phone... The idea was prompted by my return from a recent trip to Kenya where I had the pleasure of training the staff of a new company set up to provide runners of East Africa with a fantastic, evidence based running hub. Fast forward a year and Run Beyond is in full force in Gigiri, Nairobi, offering Gait Analysis, Running Footwear, Coaching, Strength Training, Physiotherapy and much more.

The first few episodes of Runchatlive are just me (Matt Phillips) on a phone, so don't expect much in terms of visual quality! In Episode 8 we start having guests. In this opening episode you will hear me talking about the essential components of a successful Gait Analysis and how we can use it to create a more efficient runner. We look at its benefits in helping runners recover from injury and discuss the potential pitfalls of using it to seek 'perfect' running form or 'prescribing' running shoes.

During my time in Kenya, I also had the opportunity of joining the team for a highly enjoyable training session in Karura Forest, under the guidance of legendary Kenyan running coach Jimma'Simba' Beauttah, chief trainer at the IAAF Kip Keino High Performance Training Centre in Eldoret.

As coach to elite runners such as Abel Kiprop, Moses Kiptanui and Daniel Komen, Coach 'Simba' has over his thirty years involvement in Kenyan running produced eight World Championship medals, three Olympic medals and two Commonwealth Games medal; a truly inspirational figure with whom I spent many hours chatting and above all listening.

And so the mission of Runchatlive began...  to help dispel myth & misconception from the world of running injury and performance. Want to HELP spread the us? If so then please our episodes across social media, especially on Apple Podcasts/iTunes as that really helps us reach new listeners. Thanks in advance and enjoy!

#Ep.10: Our planned guest exercise physiologist John Feeney was sadly unable to appear due to illness (we will reschedule). Fortunately, we were able to persuade strength & conditioning coach Alex Backhouse (who had me as a guest on his weekly Whisky & Barbells live broadcast on thursday that week) to give up his Sunday morning and step in at late notice! 

Alex Backhouse is someone who we always intended to have on the show, especially as he is local to our neck of the woods (Brighton & Hove on the South Coast of England). His business locale 'Alex Backhouse Strength & Conditioning' is a stone's throw away from Studio57clinic so he is one of our top recommendations for runners who we feel would benefit from some strength work, which in all honesty is most of you!

We talked to Alex about his growth as a personal trainer, from the early days training UFC & Invicta fighters through to obtaining a masters in Strength & Conditioning and today running a hugely successful personal training gym. If you are interested in getting optimum results from strength training, this episode is a must watch.

NOTE: Apologies for the slightly distorted sound at Alex's end. It doesn't last the whole recording so we hope you are able to persevere. We hope you enjoy the content. If you do, please LIKE (especially on iTunes) and SHARE it to help us put evidence based practice out there!

#Ep.11: In this episode we are absolutely thrilled to bring you a very special guest: Kenyan Physio Martin Ong'wen whom I had the pleasure of meeting during my time out there helping set up Run Beyond Kenya (see Episode 13).

Martin recently completed a 'tour' of the United Kingdom including a very well received guest speaker spot at the ‘Reasoning, Responsibility, and Reform in MSK practice’ conference organised by Jack Chew & the team of The Physio Matters Podcast. We talk to him about his experiences in the UK, life growing up in Kenya, the state of physiotherapy today in not only East Africa but worldwide, and we have a chat about exactly what makes Kenyan runners dominate distance running.

We hope this broadcast is as enjoyable and inspirational as it was for us. Martin is a super special guy with a huge message to get out there (and an even bigger smile!) so we would REALLY appreciate it if you could LIKE and SHARE this episode (especially on the all powerful iTunes) to help us spread Martin's good word! Thanks in advance and enjoy!

#Ep12: Gait Analysis is often presented to runners as a 'must' when it comes to choosing footwear and explaining or preventing injury. Unfortunately, there is an awful lot of misconception out there, so the effectiveness of a gait analysis can vary enormously depending on who you see. 

With this in mind, we bring you in this episode a 'GAIT ANALYSIS GUIDE' with special guest Nick Knight, sports podiatrist & gait analyst at NKSportsPodiatry. Together we consider some of the preconceived ideas many runners have regarding gait analysis and discuss evidence based answers to questions such as:

• what is gait analysis actually used for?
• can gait analysis help runners select the right shoe?
• what sort of movements are associated with running related injury?
• can gait analysis be used to improve running performance?
• what are some of the other factors considered during a gait analysis?
• how important are factors such as flexibility and strength?

As always, good old fashioned EVIDENCE is our guide, so expect some BOMBSHELLS as we clear up common misconceptions and separate fact from the all too common twaddle. To help us do this, please LIKE and SHARE this post if you find it useful! Thanks in advance and enjoy!

#Ep14: Ben Cormack of Cor-Kinetic joins us for 'Runners Guide To Pain', the last episode of 2018. When it comes to explaining concepts from modern pain science, Ben is one of our top 'go to' guys. Any therapist into evidence based treatment NEEDS to be following Ben.

His website Cor-Kinetic has absolutely tons of awesome information, and the CPD courses he runs are in my opinion some of the best out there. In this podcast, we hope to provide an insight for runners too, and show how an understanding of modern pain science can potentially revolutionize the way in which you deal with injury and reduce risk of future issues.

#Ep13: Live from Nairobi with special guests George Parkes, founder of Run Beyond, and legendary elite coach Jimmy 'Simba' Beauttah.

I had the pleasure of first meeting these gentlemen when I was asked to help set up 'Run Beyond' in Kenya and train the team in how to deliver evidence based gait analysis using the same software that I use in my gait lab at StrideUK.

Jimmy 'Simba' Beauttah, better known in the industry as Coach Simba, is one of the Godfathers of Kenyan running, having coached athletes like Abel Kiprop, Moses Kiptanui & Daniel Komen. In his 30 plus years of coaching, he has been responsible for producing eight World Championship medals, three Olympic medals and two Commonwealth Games medals. Without doubt a truly inspirational guy to listen to. Enjoy!

#Ep.2: In our second episode of Runchatlive, we take a look at the importance of Health Care Professionals monitoring the language they use when communicating with people in pain.

It was sparked by a person who visited me last week with a letter from an orthopaedic consultant which as an explanation for the patient as to why they were in pain used the sentence "It's your anatomy". What's the problem with that I hear you ask. Well, watch the video and I will try to explain.

Feel free to add comments if there is anything you agree/disagree with, or just want to share an experience. And if there is anything running injury/performance related you would like to hear to hear discussed on Runchatlive then do let us know!

#Ep.3: Third episode in and things are warming up! This week we answer a question from Jack Chew of The Physio Matters Podcast (who actually returns in Episode 22 as a guest!): "To what extent we should try and tweak the running form of a pain free runner?" 

A terrific question; in other words, if there's nothing broken should we try to fix it? Given that studies are yet to agree on what causes most running related injuries, blaming running technique for injury is a very grey area. For example, for every runner who runs with a dropped hip and suffers from Iliotibial Band Syndrome, there are a host of other hip dropping runners who are not suffering whatsoever.

It's a world of confusion and misinterpretation, which is exactly why Runchatlive exists: to help dispel the myths and misconceptions that fill the world of running injury and performance.

We are excited to announce that 2023 brings NEW EPISODES of Runchatlive Podcast, bringing you a special FOUR PART SERIES on GAIT ANALYSIS talking to internationally acclaimed researchers Dr. Max Paquette, Dr. JF Esculier, Dr. Allison Gruber and Dr Izzy Moore about the role of Gait Analysis in running injury & performance.

In this PART ONE of the series, recorded as always LIVE on the Runchatlive YouTube channel, we talk with Dr Max Paquette, Associate Professor of the University of Memphis Human Performance Center and Director of the Musculoskeletal Analysis Laboratory. Dr. Paquette consults for high school, collegiate and World-class track and field athletes and their coaches to optimize performance and reduce injury risks. During his collegiate career with the Guelph Gryphons, he won multiple national titles in cross country and track and in 2008, he was a national and Olympic Trials finalist in the 3000m steeplechase.

When it comes to research, Dr Paquette has had a huge influence in the field of lower limb joint mechanics with over 100 scientific articles, including the effects of different footwear, fatigue/repetition, altered techniques and training interventions for injury prevention and performance. Dr. Paquette's research also focuses on the effects of exercise interventions and gait modifications on joint mechanics, and function in older individuals and athletes.

Topics discussed in this episode:

• 6:40 Why has there been a decline in the use of gait analysis in the last few years by scientists & biomechanists?

Ep39: Alex Hutchinson - Pushing The Limits of Human Performance.

Alex Hutchinson is one of the world's most highly respected authorities on the subject of endurance sports. With a PhD in Physics from Cambridge and a Master’s in Journalism from Columbia, his articles in Runner’s World, Outside Magazine, The Globe & Mail, are internationally acclaimed.

His 2011 book 'Which Comes First, Cardio or Weights?' is quite simply a 'must have' for anyone who does exercise. It was and still is THE bible of myth-busting misconceptions still found in the exercise industry.

In this episode of Runchatlive, we focus mainly on his 2018 book 'Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance', a New York Times best seller. The thrilling account of his involvement at Nike's Breaking2 project in 2017 is in itself enough of a reason to read it, and it has so much more. Using endless real life examples of elite endurance athletes, Hutchinson explains why our individual limits may be determined as much by our head and heart, as by our muscles.

We also talk to Alex about being one of the speakers at Tom Goom's ‘Running Rehab, from Pain to Performance’ conference this April in London, along with Ian Griffiths, Claire Minshull and Chris Napier. With this line-up of speakers, the conference is destined to be a huge success and of huge value.

#Ep.5 - Many runners are not aware that with some types of injury, certain common ways of stretching can actually DELAY recovery. In this episode of Runchatlive we take a look.

Every week in clinic I see runners who have been struggling for weeks, months and maybe sometimes years with an ongoing pain/injury. In many of these cases, the runner is shocked to hear that the solution may well be stop doing that stretch every morning. As I explain in this episode, such injuries can include insertional achilles tendinopathy, proximal hamstring tendinopathy, insertional gluteal tendinopathy.

When, how much or indeed whether to stretch or not is a subject that causes much debate amongst runners and therapists, but if your passion for stretching is delaying your recovery then it's high time we clear a few misconceptions up!

As always, feel free to add comments if there is anything you agree/disagree with, or just want to share an experience. And if there is anything running injury/performance related you would like to hear us talk about in future episodes of Runchatlive then do let us know!

Runchatlive Ep.47 brings you a 'Plantar Fasciitis Special' with guest Hamish Vickerman, creator of 'The Fasciitis Fighter.' As per last month , this episode was dual-streamed LIVE to Facebook Group 'The Running Community' www.facebook.com/TheRunningCommunity as well as our facebook page at www.facebook.com/MattPhillipsRCL . Hamish Vickerman created The Fasciitis Fighter in reaction to research published by Michael Rathleff in 2014: 'High-load strength training improves outcome in patients with plantar fasciitis'. In this episode, we discuss how the Rathleff paper revolutionised the way Plantar Fasciitis (PF) should be treated, and in doing so we cast a critical eye on many of the traditional ways that runners & non runners deal with PF, often following advice handed out by therapists & GPs who are clearly not up to date with the evidence. It's an eye opening episode which we hope you enjoy and take on board, whether you are a therapist or a runner. As always feel free to leave comments and questions in the comment section.

#Ep6: Many runners devote a lot of time to stretching themselves, or going to a therapist to 'get' stretched. In this episode I look at WHY this is the case and HOW MUCH evidence there is for the assumed benefits.

This episode came about in response to some interesting questions put to me following last week's broadcast, and also to feedback I got from a presentation I gave at British Triathletes South East Division yesterday.

Most runners believe that static stretching before & after their run will reduce the risk of injury. many are encouraged to do so by coaches and therapists. It may well come as a suprise to hear that there is actually very little evidence to support this.

And there's more... stretching before a run may actually slow you down, and stretching after a run could increase muscle soreness! If this comes as a shock, you need to listen to this episode. If you enjoy it, do please leave comments and share with your running colleagues!

You may also want to check out last week's broadcast in which we looked at how in the case of certain running pain/injury, stretches commonly handed out can actually DELAY recovery, e.g. insertional achilles tendinopathy, proximal hamstring tendinopathy, insertional gluteal tendinopathy.

It's a world of confusion and misinterpretation, which is exactly why Runchatlive exists: to help dispel the myths and misconceptions that fill the world of running injury and performance.

Our new episodes continue, in association with the 'Sleep Awareness Month' of the Sports Thera[y Association, streamed live at 8pm (GMT +1) every Tuesday in April, to both the STA YouTube Channel and also the Runchatlive Facebook Page, 

In this episode, I am joined by special guest Dr Jonathan Charest, Director of Athlete Sleep Services at The Centre for Sleep & Human Performance, in Calgary, Canada. Dr Charest, a published scientific author in the field of sleep research, discusses the impact sleep quality/quantity can have on athletic performance, cognition, health, and mental well-being. He also talks about the role of sleep in reducing risk of injury, and how by delivering education, screening tools, and research-based strategies we can help establish healthy sleep for athletes throughout their career.

Topics discussed include:

• Has there been an increase in our understanding of the relationship between sleep and athletic performance over the last few years?
• Do athletes sleep worse than non athletic population?
• Does going to bed earlier the night before early morning training help?
• How relevant are Circadian Rhythms and Chronotypes when it comes to working with athletes?
• Are potential future elite athletes slipping through the net because of insufficient sleep?
• Do elite athletes for different sports tend to be of the same chronotype?  
• What are some ways we can help athletes who are suffering from inadequate sleep?
• How useful are sleep trackers and wearables to athletes?
• How much of a factor is the type of sport when it comes to sleep inadequacy?
• Can athletes 'bank' sleep hourse and if so how long do saved hours last?

• What strategies can we give to athletes to help them improve their sleep?

#Ep7: In response to the great feedback we have had so far, we are happy to announce that of up & coming Episode 8 we will start being joined by live guests! In today's episode, we consider the question of how many repetitions (lifts per exercise) and sets (repeats of exercise) we should be doing as part of strength training. Do reps and sets vary depending on what we are trying to achieve, for rehab, reducing risk of injury or as a way of improving performance?

The evidence (as if so often the case in the world of running injury & performance) may surprise you and change what you currently practice...

Help us? You can help is in our mission to spread evidence based intervention to runners, coaches & therapists by simply sharing our episodes across social media, especially on Apple Podcasts/iTunes as that really makes a difference. Thanks in advance and enjoy!

Visit a massage therapist and chances are you will be told you have muscle knots and maybe even 'Trigger Points'. Much of the therapist's work will strive to 'undo' these knots, maybe using 'Trigger Point Therapy'. But how much evidence is there that these knots are responsible for pain. What effect does 'releasing' them have? As runners, can we benefit from such 'release'?

Ep.52 of Run Chat Live Podcast brings you the undisputed forefather of putting evidence back into therapeutical care - Mr Paul Ingraham. If you are as yet aware of Paul Ingraham’s work via painscience.com, formerly known as saveyourself.ca, then buckle yourself in for an episode that is going to change your life. Though taste is obviously a personal thing, as far as writing style, humour & educational skills go, Paul Ingraham is still after many, many years one of Run Chat Live's TOP RECOMMENDATIONS for clinicians (and patients) looking to open the door to becoming more evidence based.

Check out Paul’s book about trigger points and muscle pain. That's behind a paywall, but there's also a long free article about trigger point science and controversies, and an introduction to basic trigger point therapy.

Despite the popularity of massage, many of the common assumptions of what is happening physiologically are poorly evidenced. In this episode of Runchatlive, internationally acclaimed massage therapist Alice Sanvito talks to us about what massage does & doesn’t do for runners, and how therapists can make it work better. We also discuss both therapists and runners can learn & evolve without feeling anger & frustration. Alice Sanvito is one of ten speakers presenting at this year's Runchatlive International Running Conference, Oct 29th & 30th Online. As one of just four therapists in the USA selected by Zhenya Kurashova Wine to be trained as instructors for the Kurashova Institute for the Study of Physical Medicine, Alice Sanvito has a great amount of experience in massage therapy, with a no nonsense science-based approach that makes her a leading figure in a number of online communities. Look out for her hashtag #shitmassagetherapistssay

JOIN US FOR FUTURE EPISODES! Runchatlive episodes are recorded LIVE on Thursdays at 8pm (UK time) on our Facebook Page: www.Facebook.com/MattPhillipsRCL. Details of up and coming episodes are posted at www.runchatlive.com.

If you prefer to watch or listen in your own time, here are some options:

Video/audio on our website https://www.runchatlive.com/ Video on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/runchatlive Podcast on your preferred podcast player e.g. Apple Podcasts (iTunes), Spotify, Stitcher, etc.

#Ep.8: In this episode, RunChatLive opens the door to something we are absolutely thrilled about... guest speakers! Taking centre stage is pioneer of Women's Mixed Martial Arts Rosi Sexton.

The video itself is not pretty (we changed software after this) but with the help of our guest certainly packs a punch (pun intended). Once ranked number one in the world at flyweight, Rosi competed at the first ever Cage Warriors event in 2002 and over the next 10 years won 13 of her 15 fights. In 2013 she made history as the first British female to ever fight in the UFC.

In 2014, Rosi decided to concentrate on her career in Osteopathy and today works out of Olton Osteopathy in Solihull, England. She has also just released via her website Combat Sports Injuryan online 'Neck Strength Masterclass' course.

Over the course of the hour, Rosi tells us about about her experiences of working not just with injured fighters but people from all walks of life. She points out factors that can potentially increase the risk of injury for mixed martial artists, and discusses the essential stages of rehab necessary to reach full recovery.  We note the similarities and differences between working with runners and fighters and chat about what prompted her to set up her online Combat Sports Clinic.

I totally recommend you check Rosi's 'Neck Strength Masterclass', not just fighters but also therapists, coaches and anyone interested in injury prevention & rehab.

We hope you enjoy the show! If you do, please take a minute to like & share on iTunes as it REALLY helps us increase listeners. Thanks in advance!

'Focus on Nutrition' month Part 2: 'The Endurance Diet' with special guest Matt Fitzgerald. 

Matt Fitzgerald is a hugely respected endurance runner, sports journalist & best selling author. Therapists who work with runners/triathletes or are runners/triathletes themselves will most probably be familiar with Matt Fitzgerald's articles online & in magazines, plus his books including 'Brain Training for Runners', '80/20 Running', the recent 'Run Like a Pro', plus his excellent nutrition based books including the 'Racing Weight Series', 'Diet Cults' and 'The Endurance Diet'. This episode is an absolute must for anyone interested in diet for endurance athletes!

Topics discussed include:

• You’ve written quite a few books on nutrition over the years including your 'Racing Weight Series' 2011 -2014, 'Diet Cults' in 2014, 'The Endurance Diet' in 2016. Have your views on diet for athletes changed much across that time?
• Your Book 'The Endurance Diet' is based on your personal study of how elite athletes around the world eat. Should we recreational athletes be following the same diet as elite athletes?
• How important a factor is genetics when it comes to elite endurance athletes?
• A look at the evolution of humans and diet 
• A look at the 'Five Principal Habits' of a successful endurance diet: - eat everything - eat quality - eat carb-centred - eat enough - eat individually.
• Why are most popular diets based on cutting out certain types of food?
• Do Elite endurance athletes all follow the same diet?

#Ep.9: We are delighted to bring you today the highly respected podiatrist & sports injury specialist Ian Griffiths of Sports Podiatry Info and PodChatLive.

This episode really is a MUST listen for runners, therapists & coaches seeking evidence based ways to understand how we should be selecting running shoes, orthotics and insoles. Ian Griffiths has many years of experience working with in particular lower leg sports injuries and gives some excellent insight into how the traditional way of assessing & prescribing orthoses (inserts in layman's terms) has changed over the years, particularly with what we now know about the role of kinetics (forces) in injury rather than just focusing on kinematics (joint movement).

We also look at how YOU the runner can tell if the podiatrist / physiotherapist / sports therapist / health professional you visit is up to date with the evidence.

Apologies for the delay in starting the live broadcast. We started using new software this week to allow equal split screen so wasn't sure if we were actually live!

Runchatlive Ep43: Matt Fitzgerald 'Running The Dream'

In this episode of Runchatlive, we welcome the return of Matt Fitzgerald, nutritionist, endurance athlete and author of hugely popular books such as 'Brain Training For Runners', 'Run Faster 5k to Marathon', '80/20 Running', 'Diet Cults' and the truly incredible 'Life Is A Marathon' which we spoke to Matt about in Runchatlive Ep.37.

'RUNNING THE DREAM', Matt's latest book, documents a summer he spent with the Northern Arizona Elite, one of the country's premier professional running teams, training with national champions and Olympic hopefuls in the running mecca of Flagstaff, Arizona, leading in to the Chicago Marathon. His goal: to beat at the age of 46 a marathon PB he set 9 years earlier!

With Matt's trademark mix of humour, drama and defiant endurance in the face of adversity, 'RUNNING THE DREAM' is an incredible book and a total eye opener for any veteran runner tempted to play the "I'm too old" card, flipping as always from utterly gripping to Cheshire grinning, chapter after chapter.

After 18 months we're BACK! The response for last week's 'Sleep: The Silent Epidemic' episode has been fantastic - so very glad it has proved popular amongst the Runchatlive Community. We will continue to stream all episodes of the 'Sleep Awareness Month' LIVE to not just the STA YouTube Channel but also the Runchatlive Facebook Page so if you'd like to watch them live be sure to head to one of these sites at 8pm (GMT +1) every Tuesday in April. 

In Part 2 of this month's 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH' on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, we talk about 'Sleep Trackables' with special guest Dr Olivia Walch, CEO of Arcascope, a company that develops science-backed apps to help people fix their sleep and circadian rhythms. With an estimated one in three people in the UK reporting regular sleep complaints, it is not surprising that sleep trackers have become enormously popular over the last few years. On waking up, our faithful Fitbit, Oura Ring or Withings Sleep Analyzer (to name just three) will inform you of the quantity & quality of your night's sleep, but just how accurate are they? Can the information these consumer sleep wearables provide be put to good use, or are they just another modern day gadget causing dependency and anxiety? Special guest Dr Olivia Walch takes us through such questions to see how marketing claims hold up under the scrutiny of science, and discusses what role they can play in improving sleep health.

Topics discussed include:

• What is the difference between sleep trackers and sleep wearables?
• How long have sleep trackers/wearables been used to assess sleep quanitity/quality?
• How has the technology in sleep wearables changed over time?
• How do scoring algorithms work?
• How accurate are popular sleep wearables from Garmin, Fitbit, Oura Ring, etc?
• Can popular consumer sleep wearables measure stages of sleep? 
• What is the relationship like between sleep researchers and consumer brands for wearables?
• If we see clients/patients are wearing sleep trackers, what sort of conversations should we be having with them?
• Can sleep trackers cause 'orthosomnia' - the obsession for 'perfect' sleep?
• Using sleep wearables to measure sleep consistency.
• Controlling light exposure: one of the easiest & most accessible ways to improve sleep quality/quanity

It gets streamed LIVE every Tuesday at 8pm (UK time) on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube Channel and is then uploaded to all popular podcast apps including Spotify. Though it's not specifically about running related injury & performance, many of the topics covered will be useful to YOU, the listeners of Runchatlive Podcast, as we're essentially talking about issues that affect pain & performance. As is the case for Runchatlive, our listeners include health care professionals across the spectrum as well as active people of all levels looking for evidence informed strategies to stay fit and healthy! 

This April 2022, we have a 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH', and because SLEEP is such a massively important topic, each weekly episode is being recorded live on not just the STA YouTube Channel but also the Runchatlive Facebook Page AND being uploaded to the Runchatlive Podcast feed for YOUR listening pleasure.

#Ep21: Athletic Amenorrhoea is a condition caused by overtraining in which menstruation becomes irregular or totally ceases. Many female athletes either regard it as a normal part of becoming the best or suffer in silence due to it still being regarded as a taboo subject.  

In 2016, our special guest Tina Muir (founder and host of podcast Running for Real) was a professional runner and Olympic hopeful at the peak of her career, when suddenly after running the London Marathon in 2 hours 37 minutes she announced her retirement. The reason came soon after as Tina admitted that for 9 years of her 14-year running career she had ceased menstruation. Aware that athletic amenorrhea can reduce fertility, Tina made the decision to not only stop running but also speak out publicly about her 9 year battle to help inform other female runners of the dangers of this all too often silently suffered issue.

In 2017, Tina Muir was named by Women’s Running Magazine as one of 21 women changing the running world. With her hugely successful 'Running For Real' podcast and recent book 'Overcoming Amenorrhea: Get Your Period Back. Get Your Life Back', Tina is a true inspiration to female runners worldwide. And she's also now a mother!

Concerned about irregular/absent menstruation? Check out Tina's book 'Overcoming Amenorrhea: Get Your Period Back. Get Your Life Back' (Amazon UK link: https://www.amazon.co.uk/…/B07ML1TS…/ref=dp-kindle-redirect…) and/or contact Tina direct via her website

Regarded by many as the important contributor to running related research over the past 40 years, Dr. Benno Nigg is Founder & director of the Human Performance Laboratory at the University of Calgary, a multi-disciplinary Research Center concentrating on the study of the human body and its locomotion. He has received many awards and recognitions, including the Olympic Order, honorary degrees from the Universities of Salzburg and Innsbruck and an honorary professorship from the University of Shanghai.

In this episode of Runchatlive, he will be discussing the SCIENCE behind modern running shoes. What role have shoes truly played in the performance explosion we have witnessed since Eliud Kipchoge became the first man to break two hours for the marathon. 2019 also brought us twice as many men running under 2:10 and twice as many women under 2:27 compared to 2016. Eight of the twelve fastest men’s marathons in history have been run in the last year. How much of a factor has this new breed of shoe played? And more importantly, what is it in the shoe that could have made this possible?

With over 25,000 publications on human locomotion, in particular with relation to products such as orthoses, shoe insoles, sport shoes, surfaces and sport equipment, Dr. Nigg will be giving us an inside look at his latest study that appeared this August in the British Journal of Sports Medicine: 'The teeter-totter effect: A new mechanism to understand shoe-related improvements in long-distance running.'

An incredible hour, thank you once again Dr. Benno Nigg for giving us his time.

"Kids, animals, and most successful athletes develop skill and fitness through play, not working out. The best pathway to movement health is found not by tracking huge amounts of data or following algorithms, but through curious exploration of the physical world."

In 2014 , Todd Hargrove's book 'A Guide To Better Movement' rapidly became an absolute 'must have' for anyone who works with people in pain, explaining in a way that only Todd can concepts from modern pain science including the neuroscience of motor control, cortical body maps, complex systems, developmental movement patterns, and more.

In this episode of RunChatLive, we talk to Todd about his recent book 'Playing With Movement' in which he discusses how the mainstream approach to sport training and physical therapy has become 'all work no play', too often focussing on movements that are boring, repetitive, planned, stressful, and intrinsically meaningless.

We hope you enjoy it!

It's been 18 months but we're BACK! Kind of... For those of you are unaware, in May 2020 I created the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, a weekly podcast with the mission of Putting the Evidence Back into Sports Therapy and Sports Massage Therapy. It gets streamed LIVE every Tuesday at 8pm (UK time) on the Sports Therapy Association YouTube Channel and is then uploaded to all popular podcast apps including Spotify. Though it's not specifically about running related injury & performance, many of the topics covered will be useful to YOU, the listeners of Runchatlive Podcast, as we're essentially talking about issues that affect pain & performance. As is the case for Runchatlive, our listeners include health care professionals across the spectrum as well as active people of all levels looking for evidence informed strategies to stay fit and healthy! 

This April 2022, we have a 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH', and because SLEEP is such a massively important topic, each weekly episode is being recorded live on not just the STA YouTube Channel but also the Runchatlive Facebook Page AND being uploaded to the Runchatlive Podcast feed for YOUR listening pleasure. The four episodes are:

• 'Sleep: The Silent Epidemic' - April 5th with Jesse Cook, Clinical Psychology PhD Student and Sleep Researcher
• 'Sleep Trackers' - April 12th with Dr Olivia Walch, CEO of Arcascope, PhD Applied Mathematics.
• 'Sleep: Injury & Performance' - April 19th with Dr Jonathan Charest, Director of Athlete Sleep Service at Centre For Sleep & Human Performance

Feel free to join us LIVE on Tuesdays throughout April at 8pm (GMT+1)! About This Week's Guest Jesse Cook is a 5th year Clinical Psychology PhD student at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. His primary research program focuses on advancing the classification, assessment, and treatment of unexplained excessive daytime sleepiness. Jesse also has unique expertise in the capabilities & shortcomings of commercially available sleep tracking technology. He has a longstanding affiliation with the Sleep Research Society and previously served as the Sleep Research Society Trainee Member At-Large, while currently assisting efforts on the Communications Committee.  In this episode, Jesse introduces the many areas of sleep that will surface over the coming month and discusses why sleep is currenty being labelled 'The Silent Epidemic.' We are also delighted to be joined (40 minutes in) by next week's guest Dr Olivia Walch, CEO of Arcascope.  

Topics discussed include:

• 33% of our day, month, year & life spent lying down & doing nothing? Why does sleep even exist?

And so we reach the final part of our 'SLEEP AWARENESS MONTH' on the Sports Therapy Association Podcast, being uploaded also to this Runchatlive Podcast. My special guest is Dr Amy M Bender, Director of Clinical Sleep Science at Cerebra, talking about 'In-Home Polysomnography' and sharing the results of my recent five week sleep study using the Cerebra Sleep System. What is In-Home Polysomnography? The most comprehensive form of sleep study currently available requires going to a sleep-lab. However, for many the sleeping environment is unnatural and equipment uncomfortable. A popular alternative is the ‘Home Sleep Apnea Test’ (HSAT), which though convenient only measures breathing and respiratory functions, not sleep quality. Enter the ‘Cerebra Sleep System‘ – an in-home, self applied polysomnogram (PSG) that provides the quality diagnostics of an in-lab study with the convenience of Home Sleep Apnea Testing.

For those of you who like the nitty gritty, Cerebra Sleep System uses the patented algorithm Odds Ratio Product (ORP) that micro analyses the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal providing a continuous measure of sleep depth, moving beyond conventional scoring methods to dig deeper into brain activity.

The Cerebra Sleep System can measure brain waves (EEG), eye movement (EOG), respiratory data, leg and body movements, pulse oximetry, and heart rate (ECG).

My Five Week Sleep Study using ‘Cerebra Sleep System’ My personal five week sleep study included:

• Electroencephalography (EEG/brain waves).
• Electrooculography (EOG/eye movements).
• Electromyography (EMG/electrical activity of chin muscle).
• Daily reaction time tests to track performance.
• Questionnaires on perceived sleep quality, disturbances during the night.
• Tracking of daily exercise & use of electronics before bedtime.

In this podcast episode, topics discussed included:

• What are the benefits but also limitations of common consumer wearables like Fitbit and Oura ring?
• How does the Cerebra In-Home Polysomnogram Sleep System differ from the above?
• How useful is the data regarding the different stages of sleep, e.g. REM, N-REM, Deep Sleep, etc.?
• How did Matt Phillips find sleeping with the Cerebra headset on?
• How useful was it being held accountable each day by filling in questionnaires? 
• What was Matt's Sleep Study expecting to find by removing caffeine consumption after week one?
• A look at the results from Matt's five week Sleep Study including: - General Insights (sleep efficiency, sleep latency, reported sleep quality, and more) - Actual sleep time per night - Amount of waking up after going to sleep - Effect of removing caffeine: evening sleepiness, reaction time, attention lapses

Runchatlive Ep45: Nadeah Miranda 'Love Gods & Marathons' Exciting curveball in this episode as we bring you with great delight an interview with musician & vocalist extraordinaire Nadeah Miranda. Nadeah is an Australian singer-songwriter, model, and actress who shot to fame in the early 2000's as cofounder of Brighton based band 'The Lovegods'. The band won Radio 1’s best unsigned band and played Glastonbury three times. Nadeah then moved to Paris, joined Nouvelle Vague for three years and then put out three solo albums under the name Nadéah - Venus Gets Even (2011), While the Heart Beats (2016) and Milk Teeth (2019). As a fan throughout those 15 years, it therefore gave me GREAT pleasure when I heard during one of Nadeah's Facebook Live sessions that she is interested in running a marathon... but hasn't yet. Like a rag to a bull, the goal was set. In this special Runchatlive episode I ask Nadeah to comment of my favourite songs/videos that span her career to date, whilst Nadeah asks me about certain barriers she feels she has with regards to running a marathon. We had a great time recording this, despite a couple of internet connection issues, and totally recommend you check out Nadeah on Facebook with her regular live performances. The debut ep 'DreamBitches' by Nadeah & Beki (teaming up with producer Marc Collin of Nouvelle Vague) was released in March and is available on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/album/3yRMeeFPDRPAvUdYkNNDjl We hope you enjoy this episode of Runchatlive, and as always if you do please please leave us a review on Apple Podcasts / iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/runchatlive/id1446286174

New month, new Focus Topic... NUTRITION! And this month once again, episodes of the Sports Therapy Association Podcast will be also uploaded to Runchatlive given the relevance  of the topic for runners & therapists who work with runners. If you want to join the live recordings, head to The Runchatlive Facebook Page or Sports Therapy Association YouTube Channel every Tuesday at 8pm (GMT+1).

Our special guest Dr Gary Mendoza, a behaviour change expert and lecturer in Nutrition for Sport & Exercise at Bath Spa and Cardiff Metropolitan Universities, opens the month with an episode entitled 'Nutrition: Mind Over Matter?' Dr Mendoza was a guest back in August 2021 in Ep64 of the Sports Therapy Asspciation Podcast: 'Motivational Interviewing for Client Communication', and in this episode discusses how important an understanding of Behaviour Change is when working with patients or clients trying to manage their weight.

Topics discussed include:

• The research work Dr Mendoza did into the psychology of change, as part of his PhD in Nutrition
• The importance of a client’s state of ‘readiness’ when looking at weight management
• The fact that people will employ the services of a personal trainer or sports therapist even if they are not psychologically ready to change.
• The use of Motivational Interviewing (MI) when working with behaviour change goals, drawing on the knowledege of MI Founders William Miller and Stephen Rollnick, as well as Professor Terry Moyles.
• The value as a therapist or personal trainer of improving ones communication skills, including the ability to understand & use open questions effectively, affirmations, reflections and summaries (known collectively in MI terms as ‘OARS’).
• The use of “real play” vs “role play”, i.e. learners using their own personal or business issues when studying behaviour change, rather than a made up scenario.
• Details of courses run by Dr Mendoza, as well as his free downloadable 'Behaviour Change Booklet' (for therapists and clients) - see 'useful links' below.

#Ep20: Lisa Shabbas, a plant based athlete & ultrarunner, talks to us about the Wim Hof Method and her use of it in preparation for the UltraMirage100k she will be running in Tunisia this coming September.

For those of you unaware of Wim Hof, he is a Dutch-born world record holder who under scientific study has shown he can 'turn his own thermostat up' and consciously activate his sympathetic nervous system by using his mind. He has 26 world records including longest ice bath (1hr 52 minutes) and longest distance swum under ice (66 meters) under a meter of ice. And it's not just all about ice - in 2011 he ran a marathon in Namib Desert, Southern Africa (35 degrees during the day) without water!

Lisa Shabbas talks about bringing a Wim Hof Method workshop to our local hometown Brighton (England) and filling us on on her own fascinating past including 8 years in the military, female bodyguard to Katy Perry and natural bodybuilding champion.
