TRAIL TRAIL Podcast

This week, Matt speaks with Emeritus Professor Jill Cook about all things tendons! In this episode, Jill speaks about what a tendon is, how we load them, when to seek help and what to do once they feel better!

Emeritus Professor Jill Cook is an internationally renowned tendon expert who developed the 'continuum model of tendinopathy' alongside Professor Craig Purdam. Professor Cook has spent more than 25 years working in elite sports and has consulted for the NBA, The Australian Open & the IOC. Professor Cook has contributed to the careers of many sports physiotherapists and clinical researchers in Australia and overseas. 

This week, the TRAIL podcast chats to Three-time Olympian Dave McNeill about all things running, injury, performance and his approaches to mindset. Dave is a physiotherapist, running coach, writer and the founder of Nthside collective running community which aims to inspire and support health holistically. His running achievements are not bad either: a THREE-TIME OLYMPIAN, two-time Commonwealth Games representative, multiple Australian Champion at 5000m/10,000m/cross country, and a four-time World Cross Country Championships representative.
