Coming back from injury isn’t just about getting stronger- it’s about relearning how to move with confidence.

For runners, the right cues and guidance in a PT setting matter because they help reconnect the brain to the body. After time off, compensations sneak in, fear can linger, and old habits show up without you realizing it. Thoughtful cueing brings awareness back to your movement, helping you load tissues appropriately, rebuild trust in your stride, and progress without rushing the process.

Happy New Year! We know the idea of, "New year, new goals," is pretty cheesy. But the truth is, the start of a new year is a great time to implement new habits. Not all goals are created equal, though.

There are two main types of goals: Outcome oriented goals and process oriented goals. Outcome oriented goals (like winning a race, PR’ing, or qualifying for Boston) focus only on an end result. They can be motivating, but they’re not fully in your control.

Process oriented goals are in your control - and they’re what actually lead to progress.

As a runner, consider focusing on goals like:
• Training consistently (even when motivation dips)
• Fueling your runs better — before and after
• Strength training 2x/week
• Prioritizing recovery and sleep
• Learning why you’re doing what you’re doing

When you commit to the process, the outcomes often follow — and even when they don’t, you’re still becoming a stronger, more resilient runner.
This year, don’t just chase a result.Build habits you can show up for, week after week.

That’s how runners stay in the game for life.

Your big toe does way more than you think 👀
It plays a major role in push-off power, arch stability, and injury risk — especially as mileage climbs.

In our latest blog, we break down:
• Why big toe mobility matters
• How foot strength supports your arch
• Why smart shoe choices make a difference

Small joint. Big impact.

✨Masters Runners✨
As we age, ankle mobility, calf strength, and power output decline if they’re not intentionally trained. For masters runners, this isn’t a flaw—it’s a reality of physiology. The good news? Studies show that targeted strength and mobility training significantly reduce injury risk while improving running efficiency and long-term capacity. Added bonus: improves bone health and bone density to fight osteoporosis/penia.

Member Monday 💥

After losing his mom to lung cancer last year, Callum set out to honor her by running a marathon every month — and that tribute turned into a full-on passion. He’s now completed 16 marathons (plus a few ultras!) in the past year.

After a knee injury during a 50-miler in June, Callum came to The Run RX just five weeks before his biggest challenge yet: 6 marathons in 6 days across Scandinavia and the Baltic States.

Together we focused on calming his knee down, adjusting training, and rebuilding hip and knee stability — and thanks to his consistency, he completed all 6 marathons without being limited by pain. 🙌

Callum is now back in the clinic, continuing to build resilience for the miles ahead.

Next up: Boston 2026.
Callum, you inspire all of us at The Run RX. 💛🏃🏻‍♂️✨

You’re probably familiar with our motto: Run, recover, repeat. But what does “recover” really mean?

Recovery is the process of allowing your body to repair, refuel, and adapt after training so you can come back stronger for your next run.

The five pillars of recovery:

1. Time — You can’t rush adaptation. No amount of foam rolling can speed up your body’s natural physiological timelines.
2. Rest — Rest days aren’t just for injury prevention; they’re when your body absorbs the training and rebuilds even stronger than before.
3. Sleep — Sleep of sufficient quality and quantity is one of the most powerful recovery tools we have.
4. Nutrition — Fueling well (including hydration!) gives your body the building blocks it needs to repair and adapt.
5. Stress Management — Your body doesn’t separate physical stress from emotional stress. High life stress means you may need more recovery or reduced training load.

In short: your progress isn’t just made in the miles you run — it’s built in the recovery time between runs.
