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.

This week, we’re joined by presenter and ultra runner, Jess Furness who this year, is taking on an incredible 42 marathons.

Jess is a familiar face from The Running Channel, but this year she’s taken things to a whole new level. We chat about why she set herself this challenge, how she’s balancing it with work, life, and content creation, and what she’s learning, both physically and mentally, from taking on such a huge goal.

We also dive into:

Training (and recovering!) when you’re always racing

Finding joy in the miles, even when it gets tough

Whether you're deep into marathon training or just love a story about pushing limits, this one’s full of insight, inspiration, and a good laugh or two along the way.
