In this episode of Supertraining in a Year, Justin and Yosef break down pages 466–480 and explore the relationship between pain, injury, and training. They discuss why pain doesn’t always reflect the severity of an injury, how microtrauma can accumulate over time, and why preparing athletes for imperfect and unexpected positions may be an important part of building robustness.
As always, this podcast is commentary on Supertraining—not a replacement for reading the book.
