About this episode
This episode discusses a different approach to recovering from hip injuries and getting back to running using a structured framework.
Told to stop running, avoid impact, or just keep “strengthening your glutes”? This episode walks through a different path. I break down how runners actually move from hip diagnosis to consistent mileage and big goals using a simple Discover → Develop → Deploy framework. We talk confidence, flare-ups, strength that actually transfers to running, and how to bridge the gap between finishing PT and truly training again.
