EP26: Why Every Runner Needs Plyometrics, with Ky Wynne

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with physiotherapist, researcher, and soon-to-be clinic owner Ky Wynne to dig into the science of plyometrics for runners. Ky recently published a research paper on the topic and shares why plyometrics are one of the most underutilized and misunderstood tools in running rehab and performance. They cover ground contact time, extensive vs. intensive plyometrics, how to progress volume using foot contacts, the role of surface and footwear, and why single-leg work should be the goal for most runners. Whether you're a clinician, coach, or runner, this episode gives you the framework to start using plyometrics smarter, not just harder.

EP25: Why great running rehab doesn't end when the pain is gone, a podcast with Chiropractor Luke Nelson.

In this episode of Physio Insights, Jimmy sits down with sports chiropractor, running coach, and strength coach Luke Nelson to unpack one of the most frustrating injuries runners face: calf strains. Luke shares his evidence-based four-phase calf rehab framework, explaining why calf injuries are so prone to recurrence and why simply waiting for pain to disappear isn’t enough. Together, they discuss the common mistakes runners and clinicians make, how to rebuild strength and spring in the calf-Achilles complex, and what a successful return-to-running process should actually look like. Whether you're a clinician working with runners or an athlete dealing with recurring calf issues, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately.

EP24: Why telling runners to stop running often backfires with Ben Lombard

In this episode, Jimmy sits down with running physiotherapist and marathoner Ben Lombard to explore why successful rehab goes far beyond exercises and strength work. They discuss the biopsychosocial approach to treating runners, how fear and uncertainty can amplify pain, and why confidence is often just as important as capacity when returning to running. Ben shares lessons from treating hundreds of runners, his own experience navigating injury during marathon training, and practical insights on tendinopathies, load management, gait analysis, and helping athletes stay active through setbacks. Whether you're a runner, coach, or clinician, this conversation will change the way you think about injury, recovery, and performance.

E23 : Fueling for Performance: Debunking RED-S Myths with Dr. Melissa Lodge

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with Dr. Melissa Lodge, exercise scientist and founder of Fed Collaborative, to talk about one of the most misunderstood conditions in endurance sport: RED-S. Melissa shares why fueling for performance and fueling for health are not two separate goals and why the culture of "lighter is faster" is doing more harm than good. They discuss body composition myths, carbohydrate fear, within-day energy deficits, bone health in young athletes, and why screening female athletes on hormonal birth control requires a completely different approach.

E22: Read the runner, not the pattern with JP Gloria.

In this episode of the Physio Insights Podcast, Jimmy sits down with JP Gloria, physical therapist and running gait specialist, to rethink what gait analysis is really for. JP shares why the goal of running analysis should not be to “fix” every perceived flaw, but to better understand the runner in front of you. They discuss running form variability, injury rehab, training load, compensations, and how tools like Runeasi can help clinicians make smarter decisions without overcorrecting natural movement patterns. A great episode for physios, coaches, and runners interested in gait analysis, running injuries, biomechanics, and evidence-informed rehab.
