Our articles are not designed to replace medical advice. If you have an injury we recommend seeing a qualified health professional. To book an appointment with Tom Goom (AKA ‘The Running Physio’) visit our clinic page. We offer both in-person assessments and online consultations.
Assessing training load in runners is key in injury management and prevention and an important part of optimising performance. It’s perhaps a bit surprising then that many clinicians and even coaches may not explore it beyond simple measures like mileage.

In our video below we discuss how to assess both external and internal training load and draw on new research on the assessment of intensity and effort.
