Running Injuries with Chantal Jansen & Eline Peterse

Kevin and Wiebke sit down with Eline and Chantal from Fysiofabriek to talk about one of the biggest topics for runners: injuries.

As physiotherapists and runners themselves, they share practical advice on why running injuries happen, how to recognize when pain becomes a problem, and what runners can do to prevent issues before they get serious.

The conversation covers common injuries like knee pain, calf problems, Achilles pain, shin pain, and hip discomfort — but also goes deeper into training load, recovery, sleep, stress, shoes, warm-ups, cool-downs, mobility, foam rolling, and smart marathon preparation.

A useful episode for anyone who runs, wants to run more, or wants to stay injury-free while building up distance.
