ABOUT ME: I'm James Dunne, a runner, sports rehabilitation therapist (similar to physical therapist) and coach based in the UK (Norwich and London).

Since 2007 I've been working with athletes focusing specifically on helping distance runners and triathletes overcome injury and improve performance through developing their individual running technique.

Running biomechanics and physical therapy are real passions of mine. I love to help runners run strong and stay injury free.

I'm in the middle of marathon training. I'm allround fit. ( like cycling, MTBing, Boxing etc. ) I started with a 4 day trainings schedule. My body didn't recover enough. And my joints couldnt handle it. So I scaled back to 3 runs a week. And it's mutch beter recovery wise. 1 long run. And 2 shorter/tempo/interval. I try to keep my heart rate low. And do some strenght training after the short runs and on recovery days. ( like pull ups push ups and crunches. ) and also proper warming up and cooling down.

Walking and taking the bike to my work.

I'm 32 BTW.

This chanel changed my whole way of training! And I'm very grateful I've found this.

Just started training for my first marathon. Thanks for the helpful tips!

I am where "Pete" was. I tried a few times and got injured.
Now my plan is
a) Spend the same amount of time in the gym as running
b) Only increasing my milage my 2% a week.
c) Only doing a long run every other week.
It is hard because I really want to get out there and go, but I'm holding my feet to the fire this time. No cheating the plan.

You are the master of sensible advice and wise words. Thanks, its helping me train for the Rome Marathon in March!

And don’t forget to have well fitting shoes (especially when running) and tie (!) them tight enough. Seems logical but this last bit is something hardly anyone talks about (even in the specialised shops for running shoes). Shoes are not designed to flop around your ankles or leave much space to move around in them. Being prone to ankle injury I know first hand how small but important this is.

Great advice and I can share my own woes by saying that I started training for Brighton back in December but am now injured with suspected pttd to my right inner ankle. I hadn't realised that my Saucony E. Speed 2's had developed a split in the foam at the front of the right shoe, and that my ankle must have been working overtime to keep my foot stable, now I cant perform a heel raise without pain around my medial mallous - so frustrating and extremely hard not to be tempted to run as I dont want to lose all that hard earned fitness. Whilst structure and consistency are key for marathon training, just as is important is to ensure that your kit is up to the task in hand.

Your videos are superb, thanks James. Also, love the stock calendar footage featuring tampons at 2:59.

Congrats to your client for completing their goal and building up their legs to prevent that recuring injury.

I was a subject in the American study you cited. Fortunately, I was in the uninjured group and was able to run the NYC marathon. I have followed your advice in monitoring training load so I don't spike above what my body is able to handle.

Thank you for another useful video. I am a casual runner and have noticed my knees/ITBand suffer if I run down country lanes where there is lot of camber on the road: I guess there is an imbalance when one leg has to drop down further than the other.

Currently preparing for London. I can run before or after work, but it's still dark in the UK now . Of course I sprained my ankle stepping on a rock last week

[CursedKitten]

New runner, before I was able to run a mile I got a hip flexor injury. Then right after I got plantar fasciitis 😭 I didn't think injuries would be the hardest part of running.

I was hoping to get an injury-prevention strength routine but ofc knowing to build up volume or intensity slowly is also important.

[dkmchui]

I learned this from my own injury. I can only do 3 runs a week and intensive swim between the runs to build my cardio. I also need the recovery week for a reboot as well.

[brentjarvis]

Do you have a strenght and conditioning video with the resistance bands?

[Nyelands]

So he finished 45 minutes later than his race goal?

Being named Pete and just finished my first marathon in NYC in 6 hours... this was a little too on the nose 😅

James, if you ever see some really tall bloke doing hill sprint intervals up the lane passed Breck Farm then say hello because it's your fault I'm doing it!
