#24 - 3 Pillars for Longevity in Running
That's Runnable
03/07/25 • 54 min
Want to keep running strong for years without constantly battling injuries? In this episode, Tommy breaks down three key pillars of longevity in running: Strength, Mobility, and Balance - and why ignoring them will eventually catch up with you.
Tommy shares his own journey from being an injury-prone runner who thought gunning it every time was the key to improvement, to realising that staying in the game for the long haul was really his aim and it would take a smarter, more mature approach. He dives into why strength training makes you a more durable runner, how mobility is the secret to smoother, more efficient movement, and why balance is the most underrated skill that could be holding you back.
Whether you're a trail runner, road warrior, or just want to keep moving pain-free, this episode is packed with practical advice you can use in your own training and day to day, or perhaps just get you thinking about three of the most neglected components of being a resilient and long lasting runner.
