Dave Macleod amongst others were sharing this one facebook yesterday and whilst I haven't had a chance to listen to it myself, everyone was giving positive comments on it. Hope it helps someone.

Good stuff. Dry but informative. The takeaway is controlled loading is the best way to promote healing in tendons, and that eccentric loading might be (and might not be) more effective than concentric loading. So nothing new there but interesting to hear it from the horse's mouth.

When I had to rehab my Achilles, my physio explained when giving me a set of eccentric exercises that this was the rehab method with the best body of evidence to support it, and that anything else was a bit of a crapshoot. So, I spent 3 months doing lots of weighted heel dips which seemed to fix things, but a year later it got sore again so I've pretty much given up running, which kinda sucks but I'm not sure I can take all those exercises again! Obviously, if it was climbing I'd do whatever it took though  :)
