Advance your understanding of REDs, bone health, and sustainable performance in endurance athletes.

Endurance injuries are not always explained by training load alone. Low energy availability and impaired bone health can influence injury risk, recovery, and long-term performance in ways that are easy to miss without the right lens. Clinicians and coaches are often the first to recognize these patterns and are uniquely positioned to help athletes make informed decisions that support both performance and long-term health.

Coaching for Longevity: Bone Health, Energy Availability, and Sustainable Performance is an evidence-informed continuing education course designed for clinicians and coaches working with endurance runners who want to move beyond symptom management and toward truly sustainable performance.

Led by two physical therapists and running coaches, this course bridges current research with real-world application to deepen your understanding of Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) and its profound impact on bone health, injury risk, and long-term athletic resilience.

Through a combination of research, clinical insight, and case-based learning, participants will learn how to:

• Identify early warning signs and clinical red flags associated with REDs

• Understand the physiology of low energy availability and its impact on bone health and performance

• Recognize and classify bone stress injuries while understanding how injury severity and location influence treatment and prognosis

• Implement screening and management strategies for endurance athletes at risk

• Build and collaborate within an effective interdisciplinary care team

• Modify training and rehabilitation approaches to reduce reinjury risk and support return to sport

• Translate evidence into practical coaching and clinical decision-making

This course is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: Performance and longevity are not opposing goals.

Clinicians and coaches who understand the interplay between training + life stress, energy availability, recovery, and bone health are uniquely positioned to guide athletes toward healthier and more sustainable performance.

Whether you are treating injured runners, coaching competitive athletes, or supporting active individuals across the lifespan, this course will provide practical tools and frameworks to help you make more informed decisions, ones that protect athlete health while preserving the joy and sustainability of sport.
