In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn why you always get pain around mile 8 when you’re running.

Ever felt amazing at the start of your long run — only to hit mile 8 and suddenly crash?
Heavy legs, aching joints, and the urge to stop and stretch mid-run aren’t signs of weakness. They’re signs that your body isn’t adapting fast enough to the stress you’re stacking.

Today, we’re talking about what’s really happening when you break down at 8 miles — and how you can fix it.
Spoiler: It’s not about working harder — it’s about working smarter.
Dip your toe in, don’t cannonball.

In this episode of Running to the Castle you’ll learn how to keep your body healthy if you’re a hypermobile runner.

I was asked by a member in my Free Facebook Community on what are ways hypermobility can affect running and make one prone to injury? This question included are there things someone can do to provide additional support or care to affected joints like knees, and are there strength exercises to avoid with hypermobility in their joints?

I answer these questions and give recommendations on ways to support your joints like knees and ankles when running.
