Science and Practice of Strength Training shows that there is no single program that works for everyone, at all times and in all conditions. It addresses the complexity of strength training programs while providing straightforward approaches to take under specific circumstances. Those approaches are backed with physiological concepts, ensuring you gain a full understanding of the science behind the practice of strength training.

🔗📃How much running is too much? ✨

■ 🏃‍♂️ Study Objective
An 18-month study of 5205 adult runners explored whether a "spike" in running distance, either in a single session or over a week, was associated with an increased risk of overuse running-related injury. The study aimed to better define what "too much, too soon" means for runners.

■ 📈 Key Finding on Single-Session Spikes
The study found a significant dose-response relationship between an increase in the distance of a single running session and the rate of running-related overuse injuries.
■ Running a single session that was more than 10% longer than the longest run in the previous 30 days significantly increased the injury rate.
■ A "small spike" (an increase of >10% to 30%) was associated with a 64% higher injury hazard rate.
■ A "moderate spike" (>30% to 100%) was associated with a 52% higher rate.
■ A "large spike" (>100%) was associated with a 128% higher rate.

■ 📊 Findings on Weekly Training Metrics
In contrast, commonly used weekly metrics for managing training load did not show an association with increased injury risk.
■ Acute:Chronic Workload Ratio (ACWR): Spikes in weekly running distance calculated with the ACWR were linked to a significantly decreased rate of injury.
■ Week-to-Week Ratio: This metric showed no significant relationship with injury risk.

■ 🔄 Proposed "Single-Session Paradigm"
The findings challenge the use of traditional weekly load monitoring approaches like the ACWR for running. The study suggests a paradigm shift towards a "single-session paradigm," indicating that overuse injuries are more likely triggered by an excessive training load in a single session rather than by gradual increases over several weeks.

■ ✅ Practical Recommendation for Runners
Based on the results, coaches, healthcare professionals, and runners are encouraged to adopt this new single-session approach to manage injury risk. The main advice is to avoid running a distance in a single session that is more than 10% longer than the longest run completed in the prior 30 days.
