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.
