147 steps per minute--That was my cadence.

Fixed my Cadence // Fixed my Knee

And honestly I had no idea that insidious number had that big of an impact on my knee pain.

Turns out there's legit research behind this. Bradley Neal showed that bumping cadence by just 10% reduces the stress through your patellofemoral joint by 14 to 19 percent.

Per stride. Every single step.

And the cool thing — this isn't just a rehab thing.

Performance increases with a better cadence means better turnover, less pounding, cleaner mechanics when you're fatigued. It works for anyone trying to run better.

I'm not there yet. But now that I actually understand what I'm working toward — I feel like I've got something real to build from.

That feels good.

Here's what I had wrong the whole time:

The knee pain was the SYMPTOM.
The overstriding was the CAUSE.

I was treating the symptom. And completely missing the cause.…what the f**k!! Oops :/

But I got there eventually. And honestly — sometimes the wrong road is the only way you actually learn which road is right.

Two sides of my brain. Constantly fighting.

The athlete: "You're gangsta. Just go for it."
The physio: "Don't be an idiot. You know exactly what happens next."

For 5 months of marathon training — the athlete won. Every time.

Weeks of consistency. Japan. Snowboarding. Came back. Load spike. Lateral foot pain. Hamstring tightness.
Then full patellofemoral joint pain!!!

The physio saw it coming.
The athlete didn't care.

Being a physio doesn't make you immune to bad decisions. It just means you have a very detailed understanding of why you made them. 😅

7 weeks out. ,, & have booked their flights. There's no backing out now.

Game Flow- In high performance it's all about the preparation and anticipation of events to possibly happen that make all the difference.

Understanding your team culture and individual personalities become the nuances that make or break the flow of the game.

Heap of pressure and a lot of moving parts but when the game is over there's always a strong Bond amongst the brotherhood!
