Injury vs. Niggles: How to tell the difference and what to do when either strikes

It can be trickey to tell the difference between a niggle and an
injury but how you respond when something doesn’t feel quite
right could be the difference between a PR and and DNF. Coach
Hayley Munn joins us in this to show, bringing her educational
background in physical therapy and years of coaching experience
to help tell the difference between an injury and a niggle and
explain what to do about each of them. 


It can be really challenging sometimes for even the most
experienced runners to make this distinction but there are some
general guidelines you can follow to stay healthy and limit the
chances of a niggle or injury derailing your training. To better
understand these strategies we’re going to cover topics that
include:


What is a niggle and how is it different from an injury?

How thinking more positively about an injury can actually
help in the recovery process

How much running is appropriate if you think that you may be
injured

And strategies you can use to maximize your chances of
getting to the start line in good health

Ask yourself - do you get enough green veggies each day?


I'll admit, I don't. It's tough to fit all of those greens in
with an active and busy lifestyle.


But getting in your fruits + veggies is SO crucial as a distance
runner for recovery, digestion, and optimal performance.


That's where Athletic Greens is a gamechanger. One scoop has 75
bioavailable vitamins, minerals, and whole food-sourced
ingredients including a multivitamin, multimineral, probiotic,
green superfood blend, and more.


That means fewer stomach issues, more focus and energy throughout
the day (because the workday matters just as much as the morning
run), and overall ... just feeling healthier.


Look, if you're struggling to get those fruits + veggies in - or
if you keep buying them but they always go bad in the fridge -
Athletic Greens will make getting those micronutrients simple and
delicious.
