It’s National Physical Therapy Month, so let’s get a little personal! 👋

Meet Lindsey, the PT and owner behind Boulder Sports Physiotherapy.

From her love of sports to her passion for helping people get back to what they love, get to know the person behind the treatment table (and what she’s up to outside the clinic). 🚴‍♀️☕️

October is National Physical Therapy Month, and we’re starting with something that still surprises a lot of people: physical therapy is a doctoral-level healthcare profession.

But the degree itself isn’t really the interesting part. It’s what goes into it, from anatomy and biomechanics to differential diagnosis, pharmacology, diagnostic imaging, and learning when something isn’t a PT problem.

And the learning definitely doesn’t stop when you graduate.

Core strength for runners is about a lot more than abs.

Your core helps control movement, resist unwanted rotation, manage load, and transfer force as you move from one stride to the next.

That’s why a well-rounded core program should challenge you in different ways. Think trunk control, lateral stability, unilateral loading, anti-rotation, and eventually, power.

These are a few of our go-to ways to train it. 👆

When runners hear “core strength,” it’s easy to think planks, crunches, and abs.

But your core has a much bigger job. Every stride requires you to absorb force, control movement, and transfer force into your next step.

The goal isn’t to keep your trunk perfectly still. It’s control, not rigidity.

Our latest blog breaks down what core strength actually means for runners and how it fits into a well-rounded strength program.

And stay tuned: later this week, we’ll share some of our favorite core exercises for runners.

⚡ Favorite Plyometrics for Runners: Part 2

Four more ways to build the spring, power, and load tolerance that running demands:

• Compass hops: 3 sets x 4 rounds
• Single leg bounds: 3 sets x 10–20 meters
• Bulgarian jumps: 3 sets x 15-20/side
• Depth drop -> depth jump: 3 sets x 4–6

Focus on quality over quantity and give yourself enough recovery between sets to keep each effort sharp.

Strength builds the engine. Plyometrics help you use it.

Favorite Plyometrics for Runners: Part 1

Plyometrics help runners train more than power. They also challenge reactive strength, landing control, and the ability to produce and absorb force.

• Single leg pogos: 3 sets x 10–15 contacts/side with progression to lateral pogos
• Skater bounds: 3 sets x 6–8/side
• Single-leg hop + stick: 3 sets x 4–6/side
• Broad jumps: 3 sets x 4–6

Keep the reps low enough that you can maintain quality. Plyometrics are about crisp, intentional contacts, not fatigue.

Save this one to add some variety to your training.

Running after 40 doesn’t mean leaving big goals behind. But the way you train for them may need to evolve.

Mileage is only part of the picture. Hills, speedwork, strength sessions, sleep, and life stress all influence how your body handles training. And while years of running can help preserve aerobic fitness, maintaining strength takes deliberate work.

Our latest blog explores how load management, recovery, and consistent strength training can help masters runners keep pursuing PRs, longer trail runs, and mountain adventures.

At Boulder Sports Physiotherapy, we help runners build a plan that supports the training they want to do, at 40 and beyond.

Favorite Strength Exercises for Runners: Part 2

Running happens mostly forward, but your strength training shouldn't.

Here are four more exercises I like for building strength runners often miss:
• Reverse clamshell: 3 sets x 10–12/side
• Lateral lunge with adductor emphasis: 3 sets x 6–8/side
• Side plank + hip abduction: 3 sets x 8–12/side
• Straight-knee calf raise: 3–4 sets x 8–12

Build strength in multiple planes, not just the one you run in.

Save this one for your next strength session.

Runner’s knee isn’t always a “stop running and wait” problem.

Patellofemoral pain can be influenced by strength, mobility, movement mechanics, and how much load your knee is being asked to handle.

That’s why treatment shouldn’t look exactly the same for every runner.

A PT can help identify what’s contributing to your symptoms and build a plan that may include targeted strength work, movement and running mechanics, mobility or hands-on treatment, dry needling when appropriate, and adjustments to your training load.

The goal isn’t just to get your knee feeling better. It’s to build the capacity to handle the running you want to get back to.
