Most runners don’t lose fitness because of the injury — they lose it because they handle the injury wrong.
In this episode of Masters on the Move, I’m joined by physiotherapist Tim Allen from Physio Moves to break down exactly what runners should do in the first 48–72 hours after common injuries.
We cover:
For each injury we discuss:
✔ What’s likely going on
✔ What to do immediately
✔ Whether you should keep running
✔ What to avoid
✔ When it’s time to seek professional help
This episode is especially relevant for masters runners who want longevity, smart training decisions, and fewer unnecessary layoffs.
