Coaching for Longevity: Bone Health, Energy Availability, and Sustainable Performance is an evidence-informed course designed for clinicians and coaches working with endurance runners. Led by two physical therapists and running coaches, this course integrates current research with practical application to help professionals better understand, identify, and manage Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (REDs) in endurance populations.

Participants will develop a working knowledge of REDs pathophysiology, screening approaches, and clinical red flags in endurance athletes. The course will explore the relationship between low energy availability, bone health, and bone stress injury risk, including an overview of bone stress injury classifications and how injury location and severity influence management and prognosis. Attendees will also gain guidance on building an effective interdisciplinary care team to support bone stress injury rehabilitation and long-term athlete health.

Emphasis will be placed on translating evidence into coaching and clinical strategies, including approaches to reduce bone stress injury risk, modify training, and support athletes returning from REDs or injury. Through case-based discussion and applied frameworks, this course equips practitioners to make informed decisions that promote resilience, minimize reinjury risk, and support sustainable performance across the lifespan.
