Why We Broke (and How We Fix It)

This week, both of us are sidelined 
Amy with plantar fasciitis, Suzie with a grumpy knee. So we’re diving into the messy, unglamorous reality of being injured runners.

We talk through the symptoms, the rehab routines that are helping, and how we’re approaching the slow, steady return to running.

Suzie shares the head‑over‑heart decision to defer her London Marathon place &what it felt like watching from the sidelines as Sebastian Sawe rewrote history with his 1.59.30 record run. 

We get into whether performances like that are simply “too good to be true” or a sign of how far super shoes, nutrition, and smarter training have pushed the sport.

We also reflect on what likely caused our own injuries and what we’ll change next time: looking at technique to spot weak links, fixing imbalances before they become problems, and why simple plyometrics might be the most underrated injury‑prevention tool out there. Is skipping and hopping genuinely the way forward?

It’s an honest conversation about frustration, patience, and learning to train with a bit more wisdom than ego.
