Brodie Sharpe is a licensed Physiotherapist in Australia, and a runner passionate about helping runners. After working on his own injury he realized he could help runners world-wide get back to what they love doing most. He has spent years helping hundreds of runners feel confident in running again, providing evidence-backed information to help with current injuries, and sharing critical information to reduce the likelihood of future injuries.
The runner’s life isn’t easy but Brodie believes that with the right tools, education, and a good guide, it can be one of the most rewarding ways to stay in shape and move through life.
During this episode we talk about 4 principles to overcome any injury, tips on how to incorporate cross training into your routine, his mission that inspired him to create the Run Smarter podcast and what chasing life means to him. I hope you enjoy the conversation.

Memorable quotes:
Every individual component of your body has different adaptation zones, and we want to make sure that when we are training that we respect that adaptation zone and that we hit that adaption zone so we can get stronger, but we want to make sure we don’t underdo thing or overdo things.
A lot of people when they are injured ask me when they can start running, and I always say start embarrassing slow & low speed and take it from there
Where runners get really stuck is they only love running and all they want to do is running, running is their mental release- it helps with good mental health- and then when they are injured, and they can’t run, that’s when they really struggle because they don’t have any alternatives
Anyone can adapt to being a runner, so don’t let anyone convince you otherwise
