Our latest #science paper has been published in Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine. We found #runners completing a 4-month training program before their first #marathon showed no hip damage on #MRI scans. Read it here: buff.ly/3xuiYT0

Our research papers on #marathon running are addressing running #misconceptions. A recent article in #TheTimes uses evidence from our research work to correct running misinformation and get people back in their running shoes. @Running4Science Blog below: runningforscience.org/blog/2021/2/22…

The Horga et al knee OA paper was pretty cool Roger / actually sorry was 2019 haha-HNY bmjopensem.bmj.com/content/bmjose…

Delighted to find that our #Knee Study was mentioned in a @runnersworld article on knee health, along with other useful pieces of research. The general message is that running improves your physical health - even with arthritic knees. runnersworld.com/health-injurie…

I've been fascinated to learn how astronauts find creative ways to #run in zero gravity conditions. How do #astronauts run every day? Why is it essential? You will find the answers in my article on running in space for @Running4Science below. #NASA #fitness

Very glad to be part of this. Keep exercising at home in these days of self-isolation! Keep on moving!💪🙌
