Brodie answers the following membership questions:
Janine:
1.) Rest days: I've been religious about rest days for months but I've just been out for a short slow mile to start the day and it reminded me how good a daily run streak can feel with a short slow trot on the days you don't have anything else planned.
How important are full rest days?
2.) Xmas events are starting to interfere with my training schedule. If I am having to cut sessions my sense is I should prioritise a weights session over a run but just looking for some advice on balancing.
Melissa
3.) I have been told over the years several times by PTs doctors and read it online that tight hips and hip flexors will create a pelvic tilt that pulls on the hamstring and will aggravate PHT or may have even caused PHT. Is this accurate information?
4.) How do you know when to increase your weights in your strength training program? It has been several weeks/months since I have increased any of my weights, but they still feel challenging. After my last flare-up, my baseline never returned to a 0 pain, and hovers between a PL1 or 2 and sometimes sitting for really long periods can be a bit uncomfortable again.

Brodie answers these PHT questions:
Sandrine: Two weeks leading to race day I typically stop all lower body strength exercises. That is when I sometimes feel a little ache in the proximal hamstring. Now I do some deadlifts which helped up to a week leading to race day. I know body weight exercises like squats will not help but I want to hear your thoughts about body weight squats leading to race day?
Lara: Any issues with strength training quads and glutes while rehabbing pht?
Jeff: Does sitting prevent healing from PHT? If I have a desk job with PHT, should I invest in a standing desk?
Michelle: For those of us who are recovering from proximal hamstring tendon tears how do we prevent future tears or inflammation?
Jason: Do you think some people have a genetic disposition to tendonopathies, I’m currently going through PHT and have had various other tendonopathies throughout my life.
Siân: I would love to hear your thoughts on whether some of us are more at risk of tendon issues than others. I read that women are at higher risk when we get to peri/menopause too. Thoughts? What can I do to prevent any more?
Patrick:
Anything about ischial bursitis/swelling of the sit bone🙏🙏. The constant inflammation is driving me crazy.Louise:
I have partial tears but a surgeon said it was my spine, not hamstring. 3 Sports docs don't agree. I just go around the circuit of physio, sports docs etc. I'm about ready to go out of province or country for help. Any suggestions?Fabienne: How come my MRI showed severe tendinitis in hamstring and glute tendons but I never had pain? (Until full avulsion)
Maria: Approximately how long does it take to get full strength in your tendon following tenodesis surgery?

In the episode we answer the following questions:
Alex Ashby: What is a good pre-run warm up routine when tackling PHT?
Janine: Would love some advice on stretching and PHT - really feels like it doesn't want to be overstretched but would really value your view on yoga or stretch classes and when these help or hinder.
Roosa: Those who have had surgery (still chronic) vs those who haven’t —> is the rehab still similar?
Roosa: First symptom was sore foot, then super tight adductor, then side glute PAIN, then PHT. Any clues about that? For 5 years my question has been: which is the chicken, which is the egg and does it even matter?
