Description

Sonia Samuels discovered her love of running at an early age, and it led her to the biggest stages of sport. But after reaching the peak of competition, in her late 30s, she found herself nursing multiple injuries and feeling burnt out. Then, she was introduced to Jae Gruenke. In this episode we hear Sonia tell her running story, and we hear from both Sonia and Jae about the work they've done together to return Sonia to pain-free, fluid, and fast running. Sonia and Jae share detailed insights from both sides of the form rehabilitation process. This highlights Jae's approach to helping athletes develop their running skill, and return to smooth, efficient running form, from the inside out. Her method leads runners to getting deeply in touch with their own bodies and discovering how to move with ease. At 42, and having given birth to her first child October 2020, Sonia is running, and racing, strong. Ways to follow Sonia Samuels OnlineLearn more about Sonia Samuels on her website. Follow Sonia on Instagram: @soniajsamuelsWays to follow Jae Gruenke of The Balanced Runner OnlineLearn more about Jae Gruenke and The Balanced Runner on the website. Follow The Balanced Runner on YouTube.

Titles in the series (100)

We share stories about running, told by women runners from around the world. Many episodes feature one woman’s story, focused around a topic that is central to her journey or central to her experiences as a woman runner. Some topics we’ve covered: aging and longevity, community building, RED-s, pregnancy, and the mental game, and we have an entire series about “experiences at South Africa’s 90-km/56-mile Comrades Marathon.” We also feature an entire series about 9 women’s journeys to the 2021 Boston Marathon: Roads to Boston 2021. This series traced the running stories of all these women, from the beginning, to earning their Boston entry, all the way to the finish line. We believe in the power of story to uplift, inspire, motivate, educate. Host/creator Cherie Turner, a competitive athlete since age 5, former professional bicycle racer, and a passionate runner for over two decades, also brings her own experience, challenges, and discoveries to the show, with the intent of inspiring others to pursue their own exceptional running journey, whatever form that takes.
