Vinny Crispino is quite literally an expert in pain.  A young, gifted athlete, Vinny's life changed drastically when he broke his back not once, but twice, and learned to live with debilitating pain until a chance meeting changed everything.   After becoming the master of his own body and ridding himself of the pain that held him captive, he now teaches others to do the same.   Riveted by his story, we picked Vinny's brain about running injuries, maintaining balance, and how he is using all that he has learned to train for his first upcoming ultra in October.  This is not an episode to miss.   Be sure to check out  https://painacademy.net/ to see the amazing things that Vinny is up to and you can find him on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/painacademy/   Also, he was kind enough to put together a video specific for The Ultra Running Guys Family.  You can find it here.  Give it a try and let us know what you think!:  https://youtu.be/E-xm2RumB-E Enjoy the episode!
