First, a large systematic review investigates what actually predicts better running performance in non-elite runners — from 5K athletes through to ultramarathoners. The findings reveal how the demands of performance dramatically change depending on race distance, highlighting the importance of physiology, training consistency, psychology and fueling strategies. Next, Brodie unpacks a controversial new systematic review and meta-analysis on shockwave therapy for Achilles tendinopathy. Does shockwave actually improve outcomes, or has the treatment become overhyped within sports medicine? The findings may surprise clinicians and runners alike. Finally, a new plantar fasciitis paper explores whether arch supports genuinely help reduce pain and — more importantly — why . Using imaging, biomechanics and computational modeling, the researchers attempted to uncover the mechanical effects of orthotics and how they may redistribute stress through the foot. Papers discussed in this episode 1. Performance predictors in recreational runners A systematic review examining the factors associated with performance in non-elite runners across distances ranging from 5K to ultramarathons.
