Fuelling the run: Navigating diet & injury in endurance running
During this presentation I'll be talking about sports nutrition for endurance runners, the role of nutrition in running injuries and how to identify signs and symptoms of problematic nutritional intake in runners. I will also discuss my research regarding dietary and health-related risk factors for running injury in masters-aged recreational distance runners
What excites you about this presentation?
I am excited to share with podiatrists about dietary factors that increase risk for running injuries. I hope this knowledge will help podiatrists know when to refer their clients for sports dietetics input and encourage a multi-disciplinary focus in reducing risk of running injuries.
What do you wish more podiatrists understood about the topic you will cover?
I wish podiatrists knew more about the signs and symptoms of under-fuelling in sport, and how athletes can be managed to reduce injury risk and support their best health and performance.
Presented on: Friday 1st March
Biography
I am an Accredited Practising Dietitian and Accredited Sports Dietitian with 15 years experience across clinical dietetics, private practice, education and research. In 2018, I completed the Sports Dietitians Australia Sports Nutrition Course to pursue my interest in nutrition for runners. I have since developed a private practice that supports recreational distance runners. Unfortunately, runners have a high prevalence of running-related injury. As an avid recreational runner and through my work with athletes, I am keen to understand the role of diet in the development of running-related injury. My research is focussed on exploring the role of dietary and health-related behaviours on the development of running-related injury in masters-aged recreational distance runners. This population may be at risk due to physiological changes, poor dietary intake and nutrient deficiencies. This research will guide strategies to lower the risk of running injuries and support masters-aged athletes to remain physically active.
