    Running Injury Prevention, Training & the Whole Athlete with Kate Mihevc Edwards

    Understanding Running Injuries & Getting Back Stronger with Kate Mihevc Edwards, PT, DPT, OCS What if the pain you're feeling while running isn't actually caused by the place that hurts? On this episode of Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD, Josh sits down with Kate Mihevc Edwards, PT, DPT, OCS, a doctor of physical therapy and board-certified orthopedic clinical specialist with more than 15 years of experience working with runners and endurance athletes. Kate takes us deep into running injuries, rehabilitation, strength training, recovery, fueling, running shoes, and returning to competition after injury. One of the biggest takeaways is that running injuries are rarely caused by one thing. Training load, recovery, sleep, nutrition, stress, strength, biomechanics, and life outside of running can all affect how much stress the body can handle. We discuss why runners often wait too long to seek professional help and why a good evaluation needs to look at the whole athlete—not just the painful body part. 🏃 Injury Prevention: Why sudden increases in training and insufficient recovery are major contributors—and why the popular "10% rule" doesn't tell the whole story. 🦵 Common Running Injuries: Knee pain, Achilles tendinopathy, hamstring problems, posterior tibialis issues, and bone stress injuries. 🔥 Achilles Rehab: Kate explains progressive loading and why rehabilitation may progress from strengthening to plyometrics, sprinting, and eventually running. 🦴 Bone Stress Injuries: Warning signs runners should never ignore and why these injuries require a different approach. 👟 Running Shoes: Comfort, shoe rotation, carbon-plated shoes, heel-to-toe drop, shoe lifespan, foot swelling, and heel-lock lacing. 💪 Strength Training: Why runners need strong hips, feet, ankles, calves, and a resilient kinetic chain. 🍎 Fueling & RED-S: How low energy availability can affect performance, recovery, bone health, tendons, immunity, and healing. 😴 Recovery: Why sleep, nutrition, and rest days remain the foundation of recovery. We talk about one of the biggest mistakes runners make: returning to full training before they are truly ready. Kate explains why rehabilitation shouldn't end simply because the pain is gone. Strength, functional testing, plyometrics, sport-specific training, and psychological readiness all play a role in returning safely to running and racing. Her message is important for every runner: listen to the signals your body is giving you. And perhaps most importantly, Kate reminds us that running should still be fun. Fuel properly, recover properly, progress gradually, and don't let negative self-talk take the joy out of the sport.

    NSDR for Ultra Runners- Can Deep Rest Improve Recovery?

    🎙️ NSDR for Ultra Runners: Can Deep Rest Improve Recovery? As ultrarunners, we spend months learning how to push through fatigue—but recovery is just as important as the training itself. In this episode, we take a deep dive into Non-Sleep Deep Rest (NSDR) and explore whether deliberately putting the body and mind into a state of deep relaxation can help an ultrarunner recover, manage stress and feel more prepared for the next training session. NSDR is a guided relaxation practice that commonly uses slow breathing, body awareness and deep relaxation while you remain awake. It overlaps with practices such as Yoga Nidra, meditation and guided relaxation, but NSDR has increasingly been studied as a short, practical recovery strategy. Recent research in physically active adults found that a 10-minute NSDR session was associated with improvements in perceived recovery, physical readiness, stress, fatigue and some measures of cognitive performance. A newer randomized study also found improvements in sleepiness, fatigue, stress and overall recovery, although it did not find significant improvements in physical performance. We look at the difference between simply being physically tired and being “tired but wired”—when your body is exhausted but your mind is still switched on. We explore how NSDR might fit into an ultrarunner's recovery toolbox: • After long runs and hard workouts• During high-mileage training blocks• When you're stressed but can't fall asleep• Before bed as a relaxation strategy• When you don't have time for a nap• During periods of injury or reduced training• When mental fatigue is becoming part of the training load We also discuss why a nap and NSDR aren't necessarily interchangeable. A nap can provide genuine sleep and may be valuable when you're sleep-deprived, while NSDR offers a way to deliberately relax without actually falling asleep. The research suggests NSDR may improve how recovered and ready you feel, but it should not be considered a replacement for adequate sleep. Is NSDR really different from meditation? We break down the similarities and differences between NSDR, meditation, mindfulness and Yoga Nidra—and ask whether NSDR is truly a unique intervention or a different way of applying established relaxation practices. We also look at exhale-focused breathing and physiological sighing, including research comparing brief breathwork with mindfulness meditation for acute stress and mood. The goal isn't to find another “hack,” but to understand whether simple breathing techniques can help an athlete deliberately shift toward a calmer state. Yoga Nidra research has also explored pain and well-being. A recent study comparing Yoga Nidra with body-scan meditation found reductions in pain intensity and pain-related anxiety with both approaches, while Yoga Nidra produced a greater immediate improvement in subjective well-being. NSDR isn't magic. It isn't a replacement for sleep, nutrition, hydration, appropriate training or real recovery. But it may be another simple tool an ultrarunner can put in the recovery toolbox. The question we're asking is: Can 10–20 minutes of intentional deep rest actually help an ultrarunner recover—or does it simply make us feel more recovered? Let's look at what the science really says.

    Sleep, Recovery, Performance & Dirt Naps with Dr. Michele Lastella

    Sleep, Recovery & Ultra Running: Why Sleep May Be the Most Overlooked Part of Your Training What if one of the most important things you can do to become a better ultramarathon runner has nothing to do with running? In this episode of Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD, Josh sits down with Dr. Michele Lastella, a sleep and sports scientist and senior lecturer at Central Queensland University, to talk about one of the most overlooked parts of endurance training: sleep. For ultra runners, sleep can be easy to sacrifice. We have miles to run, families to take care of, jobs to manage, and races to prepare for. But Dr. Lastella explains why sleep isn't simply time spent doing nothing. Training provides the stimulus, while sleep is a major part of the body's adaptation to that stimulus. Without adequate sleep, your body and brain don't get the same opportunity to recover and respond to training. We discuss how sleep affects recovery, mood, reaction time, attention, decision-making, perceived effort, and athletic performance. Dr. Lastella also explains why sleep needs are individual and introduces the Sleep Deficit Index—a simple way to think about the difference between how much sleep you actually need and how much you're getting. • Why sleep should be considered part of your training plan—not an optional extra• The difference between sleep pressure and your circadian rhythm• Why the 2–5 AM window can be especially difficult during an ultramarathon• The circadian nadir and why it may be an important time to consider a nap during an ultra• How much sleep ultra runners actually get during 100-mile events• Why even a short nap may help during an overnight race• The risks of sleep deprivation during long ultras, including impaired attention, decision-making, and reaction time• How to prepare your sleep during the week leading into a race• Why consistency matters more than trying to make up for poor sleep with one long night• The potential role of caffeine naps, or “nappuccinos”• Non-Sleep Deep Rest and progressive muscle relaxation• Why athletes shouldn't become obsessed with sleep-tracking data• Caffeine, evening routines, technology, and creating a better sleep environment• Why consistency may be one of the most important sleep habits• What to do if you regularly wake up in the middle of the night• How travel and jet lag can affect endurance athletes• Why teenagers have different sleep patterns than adults• How parents can help young athletes develop better sleep habits We also talk about the fascinating research Dr. Lastella and his team have conducted on sleep during ultramarathons. One study found that runners in 100-mile events averaged only about 12 minutes of sleep, highlighting just how much sleep deprivation can become part of the ultra experience. But perhaps the biggest takeaway for runners is simple: Sleep isn't the time you're taking away from training. Sleep is part of the training. If you're putting in the miles but consistently failing to recover, you may be leaving some of the benefits of that training on the table. Dr. Lastella also discusses his upcoming book, Sleep. Recover. Perform., a practical sleep playbook for parents of teenage athletes. The book addresses teenage sleep physiology, school schedules, training demands, technology, and practical strategies families can use to improve sleep.

Train hard. Recover harder. And don't forget to sleep. In This Episode, We Discuss:Dr. Lastella's Book

    Fasting for Ultra Runners- Does It Help or Hurt Performance?

    Fasting & Ultra Running: Does It Help or Hurt? What happens when you combine fasting with one of the most demanding forms of exercise on the planet? In this episode of Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD, we take a deep look at fasting and ultra-endurance running and ask a question that doesn't have a simple yes-or-no answer: Is fasting helping an ultrarunner become healthier—or could it actually interfere with training, recovery and long-term health? Fasting has become increasingly popular, with people using everything from 12- or 16-hour eating windows to 24-, 30-, 45-hour or even longer fasts. But what happens when you're also asking your body to train for a 50K, 50-mile, 100K or 100-mile race? We explore the potential benefits of fasting, including weight management, metabolic health and increased reliance on fat for fuel. Research suggests that exercising in a fasted state can increase fat oxidation, particularly at lower and moderate intensities, but whether those metabolic changes actually translate into better endurance performance remains uncertain. We also look at the other side of the equation: fueling enough to support the demands of ultra training. Could restricting your eating window make it harder to consume enough calories, carbohydrates, protein and micronutrients? Could repeated under-fueling interfere with muscle maintenance, glycogen restoration, recovery, sleep, hormones, bone health or immunity? That brings us to Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs). The International Olympic Committee recognizes that problematic low energy availability can affect both male and female athletes and can impair multiple body systems, increase injury risk and decrease performance. We also tackle one of the biggest questions for ultrarunners: How long is too long to fast? Is a 12-hour overnight fast fundamentally different from 24 hours? What about 30 or 45 hours? Is there actually scientific evidence that tells an ultrarunner when fasting crosses the line from a potentially useful nutritional strategy into something that could compromise recovery or health? And what about after the race? Should an ultrarunner immediately prioritize carbohydrates, protein, fluids and recovery nutrition after a 50- or 100-mile race—or could there ever be a reason to fast during the post-race recovery period? Current research in athletes does not establish one universal fasting duration that is safe or harmful for every athlete. Studies of intermittent fasting combined with exercise have generally found that performance can sometimes be maintained, but some research also finds reductions in fat-free mass, and the evidence is limited when it comes specifically to elite endurance and ultramarathon athletes. Ultimately, this episode isn't about declaring fasting good or bad. It's about asking a more important question: Are you giving your body enough energy to handle the training you're asking it to do? Because becoming a better ultrarunner isn't just about how much stress you can tolerate. It's also about how well you can fuel, recover, adapt and stay healthy enough to keep running for years to come. Listen in as we separate the science from the hype and explore whether fasting has a place in the world of ultra-endurance running. runningmileschd@gmail.com Josh Sain – Team RunRun Coaching Profile:https://teamrunrun.com/coach/josh-sain-raleigh-running-coach/ Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD – Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/runningmileschd/ Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD – Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/runningmileschd/

    Nutrition, Fueling & Ultra Running with Todd Reinkemeyer

    🎙️ Ultrarunning Nutrition: How to Fuel Your 50K, 100K & 100-Mile Race with Todd Reinkemeyer What should you actually eat and drink when you're training for—or racing—an ultramarathon? In this episode of Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD, Josh sits down with Todd Reinkemeyer, a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN), NASM-certified personal trainer, UESCA-certified ultramarathon coach, ultramarathon runner, and founder of Off Trail Coaching. Todd has personally completed a 50-mile, 100K, and 100-mile ultramarathon, giving him both the professional nutrition knowledge and firsthand experience to understand what happens when a race gets really long. This conversation covers one of the most important—and sometimes confusing—parts of ultrarunning: fueling your body for hours and hours of running. We talk about: 🏃 Whole Foods vs. Sports NutritionCan you maintain a healthy, whole-food-focused diet while still using gels, gummies, sports drinks, and other processed carbohydrates during races? Todd explains why these don't have to conflict. 🍚 How Many Carbs Do You Really Need?Todd discusses the importance of reaching at least 60 grams of carbohydrates per hour during ultramarathons and why longer races require athletes to think about total calories—not just carbohydrates. 🥤 Hydration & ElectrolytesLearn how dehydration and heat can contribute to GI problems, how to estimate your sweat rate, and why sodium replacement needs to be individualized. 🍯 Real Food During an UltraWhite rice, potatoes, oatmeal, bread, fruit, honey, maple syrup—and even Sour Patch Kids! We discuss when real food makes sense and why something that wouldn't normally be part of your everyday diet can have a purpose during a long race. 🤢 GI Problems & Training Your GutWhy do so many ultrarunners struggle with their stomachs? Todd explains how to train your gut just like you train your legs and why you should never introduce new foods on race day. ⚡ Caffeine During Long RacesWhen should you use caffeine during a 100-mile race? Todd explains why saving some caffeine for the middle of the night can be particularly valuable. 😴 Dirt Naps & the 100-Mile LowWe talk about the reality of racing for 20–30+ hours, the value of short 5–10 minute naps, and what Todd experienced around miles 75–80 of his own 100-miler. 🍽️ The Biggest Fueling Mistake First-Time 100-Milers MakeOne of the biggest mistakes is getting behind on calories early—when you feel great and don't think you need to eat. Todd explains why trying to make up that deficit later can be extremely difficult. 📈 Training for a 100-MilerWe also discuss weekly mileage, back-to-back long runs, race-specific training, nighttime running, terrain, and why gradually building volume is more important than simply chasing a huge mileage number. Most importantly, Todd explains that nutrition is something you have to practice. Your long training runs aren't just preparing your muscles and cardiovascular system—they're also an opportunity to figure out what your stomach can tolerate for hours on the trail. Whether you're preparing for your first 50K or dreaming about your first 100-miler, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can take into your next long run. Todd Reinkemeyer, RDN is a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist, NASM-certified personal trainer, UESCA-certified ultramarathon coach, ultramarathon runner, and founder of Off Trail Coaching. He works with endurance athletes on training, nutrition, and performance while bringing his own experience as an ultramarathon runner to the coaching process.

    “Breathe Hard, Run Strong- The Ultimate VO₂ Max Workout Guide for Ultra Runners”

    🏃‍♂️ TRAIN YOUR ENGINE: How Ultra Runners Can Improve VO₂ Max at Any Age What if the key to becoming a better ultra runner isn’t simply running more miles—but building a bigger, more powerful aerobic engine? In this episode, we take a deep dive into VO₂ max training for runners and ultra runners, including why VO₂ max still matters even when your goal is to run 50K, 100K, or beyond. We explore what happens when experienced endurance athletes hit a performance plateau and whether a strategically placed block of high-intensity training can provide the stimulus needed to break through. Research in elite cross-country skiers has shown that a short, concentrated high-intensity block can improve important performance markers—even when VO₂ max itself doesn’t change significantly. 🔥 We break down the workouts that can help build your engine, including longer VO₂ intervals, shorter interval formats, hill repeats, and different ways of accumulating time near VO₂ max. One fascinating area of research compares 4×4, 4×8, and 4×16-minute intervals. In one study of trained cyclists, the 4×8-minute format produced the greatest overall improvements in VO₂peak and other physiological performance measures. That doesn’t mean 4×8 is magically the best workout for every runner—but it provides an important lesson: more suffering isn’t necessarily better; the amount of quality work you can accumulate matters. We also discuss the 6-day high-intensity microcycle used in elite endurance athletes: three consecutive days of hard interval training, a recovery day, followed by two more hard sessions, followed by several days of reduced training. This is an advanced strategy—not a prescription for the average ultra runner—but it demonstrates what can happen when high-intensity work is deliberately concentrated and followed by recovery. 🧬 Why does one runner respond dramatically while another barely improves? We explore the genetics of VO₂ max trainability and why people can respond very differently to the same training program. The HERITAGE Family Study estimated that about 47% of the variability in VO₂ max training response had a familial/genetic component—but that also means a large portion is influenced by other factors. And for ultra runners, VO₂ max is only part of the equation. We dive into the concept of durability—your ability to continue producing quality movement and maintaining efficiency after hours of fatigue. A huge VO₂ max is great, but an ultra runner also needs a chassis capable of using that engine late in a race. We discuss: 🏔️ VO₂ max vs. ultra-running durability🔥 Why hard workouts feel so difficult—and why they can be worth it⏱️ How long your intervals should actually be❤️ How much high-intensity training is enough🛌 Why recovery is part of the workout🏃‍♂️ How to fit VO₂ training around long runs💪 The role of strength and muscular durability🧬 Why some athletes respond differently than others📈 How to break through a training plateau⛰️ Where altitude training fits into the bigger picture Most importantly, we talk about training the engine without destroying the chassis. Ultra running requires enormous endurance, but that doesn’t mean ultra runners should ignore speed, aerobic power, or VO₂ max. The goal is to build an engine that can produce power—and a body durable enough to keep using it when the race gets long. Because we're not just training for the next race. We're training to become stronger runners for years to come. 🎙️ Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD #UltraRunning #UltrarunningTraining #VO2Max #RunningTraining #EnduranceRunning #TrailRunning #RunStrong #Longevity #RunningMilesWithHeartDisease

    The Ultimate Ultrarunner Recovery- How to Recover After a Long Run or Ultra

    Ultrarunner Recovery: What Actually Works After a Long Run or Race? Recovery is just as important as the miles we put in. After a long training run or an ultramarathon, your body needs time, energy, hydration, sleep, and proper nutrition to repair itself and prepare for the next challenge. But with so many recovery products and techniques available, what actually works? In this episode, we explore the best evidence-based ways ultrarunners can recover after a long run or race, including 50Ks, 50-mile races, 100-milers, and even 200-mile events. One of the biggest takeaways is that recovery doesn't always mean doing more. Active recovery such as easy cycling, swimming, or running may help an athlete feel better, but research has not consistently shown that it accelerates muscle repair or reduces muscle damage compared with simply resting. Sometimes the best recovery strategy is genuinely taking the day off and listening to your body. Sleep may be the most important—and most overlooked—recovery tool. After a demanding run or race, prioritizing quality sleep gives the body an opportunity to repair muscle tissue, restore energy, regulate hormones, and support the immune system. Before spending hundreds or thousands of dollars on recovery equipment, athletes should make sure they're getting adequate sleep. We also explore physical recovery techniques such as massage, cold-water immersion, compression, foam rolling, mobility, sauna, red-light therapy, and warm or Epsom-salt baths. Some have promising evidence for reducing soreness or improving how athletes feel, while others have limited evidence. The important question is whether these methods actually improve physiological recovery or simply make us feel better. Nutrition is another major piece of recovery. After a long run or race, athletes need to replace depleted carbohydrate stores, provide protein for muscle repair, and replace fluids and electrolytes lost through sweat. Whole foods can provide these nutrients while also supplying vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, antioxidants, and other compounds that may support recovery. We look at recovery-focused foods including berries, tart cherries, pomegranate, leafy greens, colorful vegetables, beans and legumes, whole grains, fish, nuts, seeds, extra-virgin olive oil, herbs, and spices. We also explore specific food combinations that may help with muscle recovery, soreness, inflammation, glycogen restoration, and overall health. But inflammation isn't automatically bad. Exercise creates an inflammatory response that is part of the body's normal adaptation and repair process. The goal isn't necessarily to eliminate inflammation, but to support the body's ability to recover and appropriately resolve that response. We also discuss an important warning for endurance athletes: the risks of trying to push through pain and fatigue, including the potential dangers of NSAID use during prolonged endurance events. Ultimately, recovery may be much simpler than the fitness industry makes it seem: sleep well, eat enough real food, replace fluids and electrolytes, give your body time to recover, and use additional recovery tools selectively rather than assuming every gadget or technique is necessary. After a 100-mile race, the goal isn't to see how quickly you can start training again. The goal is to recover well enough that you can continue running healthy for years to come. 🏃 Running Coach: Josh Sain — Team Run Run https://teamrunrun.com/coach/josh-sain-raleigh-running-coach/ 📧 Podcast: RunningMilesCHD@gmail.com Running Miles with Heart Disease CHD Helping runners understand that having heart disease doesn't necessarily mean giving up on the sport you love.
