Ep77: Aidan O’Flaherty - Not Just for Injuries: What Physios ACTUALLY Do for Elite Runners

When most runners think of physios, they think of injury rehab. But as we’ve both learned over the years,, there’s so much more to the physio-athlete relationship - from strength training and biomechanics to recovery and long term performance.

We’re joined once again by our physio and strength coach Aidan O’Flaherty to unpack what working with a physio really looks like for us day to day and how those same principles can help any runner, not just elites.

We talk about building strength plans, assessing running form, navigating niggles, and the mental side of injury. Whether you're chasing a PB or just trying to stay consistent, there’s loads in here for every runner.
