Are you a frustrated runner that keeps getting injured?...?   Do you think you would never be able to run 13.1 miles because you don't have the body to be a runner?    My wife thought the same thing so I figured I would bring her on the show to share her story and experience doing her first half marathon and our first runDisney experience (the only in person race we did in 2020) before the pandemic.   Deb shares how she felt before beginning to train for a half marathon and how she overcame her hamstring injury.  We integrate the principles of "training to run" with Deb's real life story.  We also chatted about the importance of progressing exercises with your training.  Last but certainly not least you will hear my youngest daughter Gabby make her first appearance on the podcast   I hope this true case story helps you realize that there are solutions to your pain and that you can run a half marathon (even if you don't think you are a runner). Are you a dedicated runner trying to get out of the injury cycle or a frustrated runner looking to get faster?     Get stronger, run faster, and become a lifelong injury free runner with our 16 week 1-on-1 Healthy Runner Coaching Program.  Get the support, structure, and accountability from experts in the health and running industry.  Personalized easy to follow plans tailored to your unique needs and busy life.   If you’re interested in learning more, we’ve got a behind the scenes video tour of our coaching program and hear from many of our athletes who were struggling with the same sticking points that you are.  Just head to: https://learn.sparkhealthyrunner.com/coaching   Connect with Dr. Duane:   Instagram - @sparkhealthyrunner Join Our Healthy Runner Facebook Community Subscribe to our YouTube Channel duane@sparkyourtraining.com www.sparkhealthyrunner.com   Listen & Subscribe:   Apple Podcasts Spotify Stitcher Google Play iHeartRadio Amazon Music Website
