We explain how the body adapts to impact over time, why increasing mileage or intensity too quickly often leads to injury, and how a structured, gradual approach helps tissues tolerate load safely. The video explores how forces are transferred through the foot, ankle, knee, hip and pelvis, and why coordination between these areas matters as much as strength.

This is particularly relevant for runners returning after injury or a period away from training, where tissues may be deconditioned even if pain has settled. Understanding progressive loading can help reduce setbacks, rebuild confidence, and support a more sustainable return to running.
