## Resource

Running injuries aren't always avoidable, but there are simple and effective ways to reduce your risk, without adding hours to your training week. Whether you're in the middle of a training block, building your fitness or recovering after a race, picking up an injury can be incredibly frustrating. In this week's episode, Andy, Rick and Sarah share practical, easy-to-implement strategies to help you stay injury-free, many of which they've used successfully in their own training. Plus, Rick sparks a lively debate with a term he's coined: "runners' greed" - the tendency for elite athletes to compete across multiple disciplines. Is it ambition, opportunity, or simply greed? Let us know what you think! The Running Channel Podcast tackles one big topic each episode, amongst helpful tips and light-hearted chat on the latest news in the running world. Hosted by Sarah Hartley (amateur runner) and Andy Baddeley (former pro runner) alongside Rick Kelsey (recovering runner), the TRC Podcast is friendly, jargon-free, and the perfect accompaniment to your runs.
