    E20 - Why Tendon Injuries Don’t Have to Derail Your Training (Even as You Age)

    In this episode of the Strong After 50 podcast, I break down one of the biggest frustrations for active adults: injuries that interrupt momentum. Using my own battle with Achilles tendon issues as a case study, I unpack the difference between resting and rehabbing, why smart loading beats complete shutdown, and how to think about tendon injuries like an athlete. I talk about: * Why tendon pain doesn’t automatically mean “stop training” * The role of progressive loading in recovery * How to modify training without losing fitness * Why having the right physio in your corner matters * The mindset shift that keeps older athletes consistent Injuries are part of the journey, especially after 50. The key is learning how to manage them without losing your edge. The Body Mechanic - Fred Stay Consistent Rod This is a public episode.
