The Distance Dr: In Practice brings endurance research down to earth and into your actual training week. I’m Dr Kate Baldwin (physio + researcher + strength coach), and each episode I take a real performance or injury question and work through what the evidence says, what it doesn’t say, and how to apply it without turning your life into a spreadsheet. Expect science you can trust, practical sessions you can use, and honest conversations about the grey areas: strength training for runners and triathletes, tendon/overuse issues, load management, endurance performance, and what matters most when you’re trying to get fitter and stay on the road.

Here's something almost nobody tells you, that your rehab might actually be making you faster. We tend to treat strength training, physio, and endurance training like three separate things, but they're really one connect
Every distance runner and triathlete has felt the wheels slowly fall off late in a race. Late-race fatigue is multifactorial. Glycogen depletion, central fatigue, thermoregulation, dehydration, and neuromuscular fatigue
Training plans look neat on paper. Real life does not always behave that politely. In this episode of Distance Dr Daily , I talk through what to do when you are following a marathon, half marathon, triathlon or running p
Podcast episode title Easy Runs Are Not Junk Miles Podcast description Easy runs are one of the most commonly misunderstood parts of a running program. They are meant to be easy, yes, but that does not mean they are thro
On today's episode of The Distance Dr Daily with Dr Kate, she discusses how long runs are the cornerstone of marathon training, but most of the questions runners actually have, how far, how often, how hard, when to peak,
Generic running plans are not automatically bad. In fact, for many runners, they are affordable, accessible, and much better than making things up week by week. But the problem is that a generic plan does not know your i
You have downloaded a marathon, half marathon, or triathlon training plan. It tells you to run in Zone 1, Zone 2, Zone 3, or maybe gives you interval intensities… but how do you actually know what those paces are for you
If you are a runner, triathlete, or endurance athlete who has ever walked into the gym and thought, how much weight am I actually supposed to lift? this episode is for you. In endurance sport, we usually have clear inten
If you’ve been told to stop running because of injury, illness, travel, surgery, or just life being life, your first instinct is usually, “I don’t want to lose my fitness.” That makes sense. But fitness is only one part
A lot of endurance athletes have heard the same message for years: lighter is better, leaner is faster, and body fat is the thing standing between them and better performance. But is it really that simple? In this episod
Zone 2 is everywhere right now, but the more people talk about it, the more confusing it seems to become. In this episode, I am joined by Rob Merrells and Nick Baldwin to unpack what zone 2 training actually is, why ther
Most runners know they “should” strength train. Far fewer know how to do it in a way that actually helps performance. In this episode, I break down the 5 most common mistakes runners make with strength training and show
Part 2 is all about what to do after a bone stress injury diagnosis and how to reduce the chance of it happening again. I’m joined again by sports dietitian Lauren Nash (Updietitian) to give a holistic, evidence-based ap
Bone stress injuries are common in endurance athletes, and one of the most frustrating parts is that they often feel like they “came out of nowhere.” In Part 1 of this two-part series, I’m joined by sports dietitian Laur
In this episode, I break down a study in competitive cyclists that tested whether adding 8 weeks of maximal strength training can improve cycling performance-relevant outcomes. The intervention was deliberately simple: h
This episode breaks down a study investigating whether 8 weeks of maximal strength training (half-squats, 4×4RM , 3 sessions/week ) can improve performance-relevant outcomes in well-trained distance runners. We cover the
In this episode of the Distance Dr podcast, Nick and I sit down and properly dissect a recent large cohort paper examining training load changes and injury risk in endurance athletes. We walk through the study design, wh
This podcast episode explores the intersection of female athletes' training and their menstrual cycles, emphasizing the importance of understanding individual physiological differences. Host Kate Baldwin and Associate Pr
Injury risk in runners is rarely about one single factor. It’s usually the result of how load, recovery, stress, and strength interact over time. In this episode, I break down six evidence-informed factors that consisten
“Just do a short recovery run today.” Most runners have heard it. Most runners have done it. But easy running is still load, and calling it “recovery” can quietly sabotage adaptation, durability, and long-term performanc
