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.

Regarding the strength training part (having recovered from a restrictive eating disorder and as someone that both runs and trains CrossFit), I think it is important to mention that, although eating indeed plays a role in becoming bulky, there are way more things in the mix there, and well, there is NOTHING wrong with being bulky; since starting with CrossFit and gaining strength my running times are better, and most importantly we need fuel for running. Thought it could lead to misunderstandings and people cherrypicking your words to: 'aah so James says that I can go to the gym and run if I am not eating a lot as then I won't get big muscles and both activities won't conflict with each other. ' That is not the way to go, especially if we want to avoid stress fractures and health issues...Just that, sorry for the rant. Great content.

Thanks for the videos James your videos are always useful.
I'm 66 male and returning to running after a minor knee injury. Knee pain not totally gone but getting no worse even during or after running.
I tend to stick with the same make of trainers all the time.
Thanks again.

I can't be the only one watching most of the video while doing calf raises.

[johnstillruns]

Thanks, James. It was easily one of the best summaries of the cause and prevention of running injuries I have ever heard for me as a long-term runner, physio, and coach. Encapsulated, I think the embodiment of the issue of how to keep us runners running!

[elenamerelo]

very informative, thanks a lot for this video!

[Rossiify]

Good video! Would be helpful to have some graphics e.g for the calf raise excercise sets and reps. I noticed this need on some other video too

Plenty of shoes here. Multiple pairs began after I entered a 10k and it rained throughout. I was off a week just waiting for them to dry out (no not tempted to run them through the tumble dryer). The other thing I find is my preferred event shoes wear down quickly just with ordinary days training running so I’m going for less responsive shoes for easy training runs and the occasional intensive runs in the “race” shoes, as well as the events.

My feet are a bit wide which is limiting but I run neutral and haven’t had a problem with changing or rotating shoes.

[mountainstream]

Hypersensitive to footwear here. And I'm a woman with extra wide feet so very few shoes will fit me. I found a way around it by running in minimalist footwear, but unfortunately these have really hurt the bottom of my feet over time and I can no longer run in them. Now trying to wear proper running shoes again and they are giving me knee problems.

Stubborn?! I am not stubborn and I take offense to such allegations. I am passionately committed.
I sometimes disagree with your stuff, James, (or maybe its the presentation) but this is a fabulous overview. I'm forwarding this onto a friend of mine who has "come to see the light", as it were, and is looking set a 5k PR later this year.

[joneaton]

I believe there no need for a runner to ever get injured and still be able to improve in a competitive way in the long term.
Am I right James?!

[hihappymarie]

Thanks for the video! Currently watching it. So if I cant do the 3 sets of single leg raise and 5 sets of 20-second single leg hop pain-free, you would suggest not to run until it's okay. Is my understanding correct?😅

[joneaton]

I like to mix up my terrains training, types of shoes of which i have many and havextried many so know which i like 😊and intensities

[westonlundquist]

I'm surprised you didn't mention anything about minimalist or barefoot running shoes. When done properly with a safe and slow transition, injury risk seems to be far lower.

[Abhishek-guuc]

is this video even applicable to 20 year olds ? i dont think so

[ltlocus]

I laugh at how afraid runners are of having any sort of aesthetics. If you are pro I get it go be a rail.
