In episode 387 of The Physical Performance Show, host Tim Studley picks up part two of his conversation with fellow Pogo Physio physiotherapist Lewis Craig, continuing last week's deep dive into surf life saving and Ironman racing. This episode shifts focus from injury patterns to managing niggles, optimising performance, and the habits that separate top-tier surf ironman athletes from the rest. Tim and Lewis discuss the collaborative decision-making involved in managing a recurring niggle, the key training and screening recommendations every surf life saving athlete should have in place, the lessons Lewis has learned working with elite athletes in the sport, and his top tips for improving performance — from sand-specific training to fuelling properly for a demanding training load.

IN THIS EPISODE YOU'LL HEAR: A recap: this episode picks up where Part 1 (episode 386) left off, continuing the discussion on surf life saving and Ironman racing Managing recurring niggles: why the decision to rest or continue training should be a collaborative one between physio, athlete and coach How timing within the season affects the risk-benefit of resting versus maintaining training load Why a first-time niggle warrants a more cautious, rest-forward approach compared to a chronic, familiar issue Practical ways to modify training around a niggle — for example, adjusting swim technique (removing paddles, adding kick, more dry-land warm-up) rather than stopping entirely The physiotherapist's role in performance: keeping athletes pain-free and injury-free so coaches can focus on skill and aerobic development Baseline recommendations for surf life saving athletes: two gym sessions per week, individual screening, consistent dry-land warm-ups, and tracking training load How swimmers can track training intensity despite the difficulty of measuring heart rate in the pool, including simple session RPE-based load tracking Why tracking training load matters most when returning from injury or time out of the sport The performance and injury-reduction upside of athlete and team awareness around REDs and energy availability The value of a collaborative support team: coach, physio, dietician, sports psychologist and massage therapist working together Lessons learned from working with elite surf life saving athletes, including individual variation in pain tolerance, treatment preferences and communication style Common themes among top athletes: professionalism, a genuine quest for knowledge about their bodies and training, and long-term training consistency Lewis's top three tips for improving performance: sand-specific training with a focus on calf and lower-limb capacity, prioritising shoulder health from a young age, and taking fuelling seriously The best piece of performance advice Lewis has been given: you can only benefit from the training you can recover from Closing thoughts on the sport deserving more attention, and interest in having surf life saving athletes themselves on the show in future QUOTES / TAKEAWAYS: "It should always probably be a collaborative decision between the physio treating the athlete, the athlete themselves, and the coach." "Can I take one or two, three days now to maybe potentially avoid a bigger block or weeks of interrupted niggling soreness?" "You can only benefit from the training you can recover from." "Eat more than you think you need." "There's a professionalism, there's a quest for knowledge, and then there's a consistency thing." "It's trying not to confuse doing more with being best."
