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.

This highlights Jae's approach to helping athletes develop their running skill, and return to smooth, efficient running form, from the inside out.
