The background to chronic use of painkillers by endurance runners\n2.    The health risks to runners when using painkillers and the potential impact on performance\n3.    Alternatives to over -the-counter pain medication","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/9ed95df8-dd38-4576-9571-96afedac3da8/fMfSF3sIxkU-obASa7FgbSvh.jpg"}
