  • In episode 380 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer and Pogo Physio physiotherapist Tim Studley conclude their three-part expert series on bone stress injuries by focusing on what happens after diagnosis. From imaging and prognosis to rehabilitation, return to running, and long-term prevention, this episode provides a practical roadmap for athletes, coaches, and clinicians managing these complex injuries.

    Brad explains why identifying the underlying causes of a bone stress injury is just as important as healing the bone itself. The discussion covers deloading, progressive reloading, strength and conditioning, bone-building exercise, and the simple but powerful strategies that can dramatically reduce the risk of recurrence.

    In this episode, you'll hear Why MRI remains the gold standard for diagnosing bone stress injuries and guiding treatment When a clinical diagnosis may be sufficient—and why imaging usually provides better certainty and prognosis The three-step rehabilitation framework: identify risk factors, deload appropriately, then progressively reload Why treating the underlying cause is essential to preventing repeat bone stress injuries How rehabilitation differs depending on injury severity and high-risk versus low-risk bone sites Practical principles for returning to running, including restoring volume before introducing intensity Why the opposite limb also requires strength and bone loading during rehabilitation The role of strength training, plyometrics and osteogenic exercise in rebuilding bone capacity Why bone responds best to short, novel loading sessions rather than long continuous exercise The concept that "bone cells get bored easily" and how to optimise bone adaptation Why multidirectional movement remains important long after returning to sport The impact of childhood sport participation and bone geometry on lifelong injury risk Brad's personal journey with osteoporosis and what it taught him about endurance athlete health Three practical strategies every endurance athlete can implement to reduce bone stress injury risk Why recovery—not just training—is where adaptation actually occurs Quotes / takeaways

    "Treat the cause—not just the injury."

    "Restore volume before you restore intensity."

    "Bone cells get bored easily."

    "It's not the training you adapt to—it's the recovery from the training."

    "Eat more than you think you need."

  • In episode 379 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer and Pogo Physio physiotherapist Tim Studley continue their three-part expert series on bone stress injuries by shifting the focus from training errors to the biological factors that determine whether an athlete's skeleton can tolerate training demands.

    This episode explores the critical role of energy availability, bone health, recovery, and risk stratification in both preventing and diagnosing bone stress injuries. Brad shares practical screening strategies developed over two decades of clinical practice, explaining why identifying the underlying cause—not just treating the injury—is essential for long-term athletic performance and injury prevention.

  • In episode 378 of The Physical Performance Show, host Brad Beer is joined by Pogo physiotherapist Tim Studley for the first instalment of a three-part expert series exploring bone stress injuries. Drawing on decades of clinical experience and the latest research, Brad unpacks the mechanisms behind one of the most common and misunderstood injuries affecting endurance athletes.

    This episode explains how bone stress injuries develop, why they occur, and why they're often missed until they become more serious. Brad and Tim discuss the relationship between training load, bone physiology, symptom progression, and risk factors, while providing practical insights for athletes, coaches, and clinicians seeking to identify problems before they become stress fractures.

    In this episode, you'll hear Why bone stress injuries exist on a continuum—from healthy bone through stress reactions to true stress fractures The biology of bone remodelling: osteoclasts, osteoblasts, microcracks, and why recovery is essential Why running intensity has a far greater impact on bone stress injury risk than training volume alone How a 10% increase in running pace can dramatically reduce the bone's fatigue threshold Why many athletes mistakenly blame the "last run" rather than the workload accumulated four weeks earlier The importance of deload weeks and allowing the skeleton time to repair accumulated microdamage Understanding the Fredericson grading system and what distinguishes stress reactions from stress fractures Why shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) are not the same as a bone stress injury How pain location and symptom behaviour provide more valuable diagnostic information than pain intensity Why serious bone stress injuries can sometimes hurt less than relatively minor periosteal injuries The progression of symptoms from post-run discomfort to persistent and night pain How clinicians assess training history, workload, Strava data, intensity distribution, terrain, and footwear The major biomechanical and biological risk factors that contribute to bone stress injuries Previous bone stress injuries as one of the strongest predictors of future injury The emerging discussion around performance footwear ("super shoes") and potential changes in bone loading Why muscle strength and tissue capacity remain important contributors to skeletal resilience Quotes / takeaways

    "A bone stress injury is simply stress of a bone."

    "It's not usually the kilometres that catch people out—it's the intensity."

    "Don't judge the severity of a bone injury by how painful it is."

    "Symptoms often appear around four weeks after the training error—not the day after."

    "If it's really obvious, it's probably important."

  • In episode 375 of The Physical Performance Show, Coach Lino Holler and Exercise Physiologist Alex Butchies—founders of The Breath Room—join hosts Hugh Darnell and Brad Beer to unpack the science, the soul, and the surprising simplicity behind breathwork.

    Known for blending physiological precision with deep nervous-system awareness, Lino and Alex explain how breath training can radically influence performance, recovery, emotional regulation, and everyday resilience. They share the models they've built for athletes, clinicians and everyday performers—equipping listeners to understand when to activate, when to regulate, when to release, and how to stay composed under pressure.

    This episode explores breathwork as a foundational human movement—right alongside gait—and highlights how poor breathing mechanics echo into every body system. From apnea training to flow-state access, from nervous-system overload to psychological clarity, Hugh, Lino, and Alex guide listeners through practical tools and principles that can reshape life, training, and mental wellbeing.

    "If you can master your breath, you can master your life." — Lino Holler

    "Seek balance, not perfection. A well-balanced nervous system can go fast, slow, and always find its way back to centre." — Alex Butchies

    "Most people breathe all day, but not efficiently. Awareness is the gateway."

    "When your breath is compromised, your body will sacrifice everything else to get it back."

    "Breathwork is the universal tool to shift your state—faster than anything else."

  • Running technique coach Paul Mackinnon (The Balanced Runner) unpacks why most runners "force outcomes" (cadence, foot strike, knee drive) instead of changing the inputs that actually reshape movement. Paul explains his top-down approach—starting at the arms and torso to influence what happens below—so athletes can reduce ground contact time, improve rhythm, and shift along the continuum from rehab to performance.

    Across an engaging conversation in episode 374 of The Physical Performance Show, with hosts Brad Beer and Huw Darnell, Paul challenges the idea that "technique doesn't matter," arguing that how you move determines how you load. He distinguishes economy from efficiency, shows why arm swing and thoracic control set the timing for the legs, and shares practical cues to build self-awareness, symmetry, and lift—without derailing training volume. Clinicians and athletes alike will gain a clearer roadmap for translating S&C work to the road, coaching more effectively, and making durable technique change.

    21:07 Two paths to change: full-pattern reset vs detailed top-down

    23:05 New-way/old-way contrasts to build self-awareness

    26:06 Feel, timing, rhythm: enlarging the athlete's "sweet spot"

    LISTEN IN AS WE DELVE INTO THE FOLLOWING:

    The #1 mistake runners make: forcing outcomes vs changing inputs Why technique, capacity, and rehab are independent—but interlinked—puzzle pieces The injury ↔ performance continuum and coaching before athletes break Top-down mechanics: how arms/torso shape leg action and knee drive Midline "tight-rope" running: finding the driver (ribcage, arms, rotation) Physics → biomechanics → individual: the three silos that govern change "You can't outrun physics": mechanics as applied physics, not opinion Efficiency vs economy: cost per step, flight time, ground contact time Why research lags coaching—and what to change (and not change) first Translating S&C and plyos to running: when good gym work fails to show up Coaching language, storytelling, and athlete-led awareness (new vs old way) Rhythm vs being rhythmic: symmetry, timing, and longer flight Mental health, identity, and why running is a lifeline for many athletes Three practical cues: Awareness • Symmetry • Get off the ground The week's challenge: Film your running and build an honest baseline

    QUOTES:

    "You can't outrun physics."

    "How you move determines how you load."
