Luke Nelson: Smarter Injury Prevention for Trail Runners
Trail running is tough on the body — but most injuries don't happen by chance. They happen from overload, poor communication, or the wrong kind of rehab.
In this episode, James sits down with Luke Nelson, sports chiropractor, running coach, educator and podcaster, to unpack what true injury prevention really looks like for trail runners.
They explore how to manage training load, why ankle sprains are rarely "simple," the science of staying fit while injured, and how specific strength and plyometric work can make you more resilient on the trails.
Whether you're chasing your first ultra or your next podium, this conversation will change how you think about running healthy, strong, and injury-free.
