Recovery and Injury Prevention Workshop

admin — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 11:47:23 +0000

The great juggle for all runners is balancing risk and reward. As runners, we are all well aware of the high incidence of injury within our sport and the effect time off training has on both performance and health. Similarly, when we are training hard and injury free, we are motivated to take our performance to another level and this requires optimal recovery in minimal time.

This course is all about offering you both theoretical information and practical strategies to facilitate optimal recovery between workouts and ensure you understand how to make maximum performance gains while reducing risk profile for injury and illness.

This course includes specific modules and your presenters are a range of leading health and performance experts.

This half day workshop includes the following modules:

Welcome and Introduction (Raf Baugh B.Sc Physio, Level 2 AA Coach)
Recovery for Runners Overview- Principles and Applications (Paul Goods, B.Sc Hons, PhD Candidate)
Massage Therapy for Runners- Treatment types and applications (Adele Richards, Grad Dip)
Practical Self Massage for Runners (Lauren Shelley, B.Sc Physio, Australian Marathon rep)
Managing Load in your Training Plan (Ben Green, B.Sc Hons, Level 3 ATFCA)

Time: 2.00pm-5.30pm

Shoe Review: Brooks Ghost 5

admin — Tue, 09 Apr 2013 04:08:22 +0000

The Ghost 5 sits as a Volume Trainer in the often neglected neutral shoe category. With the growth and increased awareness of lightweight trainers, volume trainers are often associated with stability or motion control aspects. However what we must remember is that a foot that is stiff and rigid at foot strike will often have a limited ability to dissipate the shock of impact, which can lead to increased soreness and tissue loads in the lower limbs relative to a foot that is hyper-mobile at impact. Neutral volume trainers can therefore provide a higher mileage footwear option to runners who absorb impact efficiently through their stride.

Despite the neutral shoe posting, I did find the firm mid foot of the Ghost does have the ability to limit excess mid foot motion and provide light stability to those who exhibit some late stage mid foot movement. However, any rear foot collapse in the Ghost will be heightened by the soft midsole, so I would advise those requiring some rear foot specific stability that like the soft midsole feel to investigate other Brooks options such as the Adrenaline or Trance (both providing the extra rear foot stability on a softer/plush base).

The Ghost can fit a touch big on both width (especially the toe box that is both wide and deep) and length so I would recommend trying on both your traditional volume trainer size as well as a half size below when trying the Ghost.

The distinctive soft and cushioned full length DNA midsole from Brooks leads to a high volume life span on the Ghost and can act as a great complement to a lightweight trainer to runners looking to have specific differentiation in their training runs (Volume Trainers for high mileage runs and lightweight trainers for pace specific work) to maximise performance and extend lifespan.

I would recommend the Brooks Ghost 5 for those with a stable rear foot who are looking for a well cushioned, high mileage volume trainer.
