all runners here about importance of prehab and injury prevention, but how much do you really focus on it? are you constantly looking for new ideas or is injury / pain something you typically deal with after the fact?

Spend almost no time, but then I have been pretty lucky when it comes to running injuries. (Some non-running injuries not so much).
If I have no niggles, maybe 10-20 minutes of rolling, trigger point, stretching etc., often nothing more than slow warmup. If I feel a niggle past 24 hours, I focus on it 24/7 until it's gone.
Age 61, 46 years of running and 75K miles under my belt, have had most common injuries but no surgeries. Still training hard and enjoying it, albeit more slowly.
Seriously, what is "prehab"? A good training program utilizes components that strengthen the musculature and create integrity. Again... It's called training.

That term sounds a bit hobbyjogger-ish to be honest. Their focus is on "injury prevention" rather than training because when your only goal is to finish, injury is the main obstacle.

Charlie Weingroff, one of the big shots in the physical performance field states that training is rehab and rehab is training.

it isn't immediately obvious how you are able to tell what a person you have never met or spoken to is focussing on, or what their goals are, or how you are able to tell that because a person includes injury prevention in their training that they are, somehow, not training. good luck with those mind reading courses. they seem to be working for you.
cheers.

It is actually. Sometimes a hobbyjogger can be spotted from a mile away.
