Happy 3 years to the podcast!  If you have been an avid listener…Thank You for your support!   Do you want to learn how to get in those stress relieving miles so you can continue to challenge yourself without having to stop running with an injury?   In this personal deep dive episode, I am going to show you how I went from being a new "adult onset" runner who was constantly getting injured (despite being a sports physical therapist with background in strength & conditioning) to finally overcoming the injury cycle and running multiple races a year in my 40's!   Most importantly, I am now able to consistently lace up my shoes and hit the pavement to enjoy those mental clearing runs (can you relate?) so I can show up better as a husband, father, educator, business owner, and for YOU as a part of our Healthy Runner community!   In this episode, I share a story I have mentioned in bits and pieces but never the full picture and context on how I became a Healthy Runner and why I decided to do what I do today, living my passion educating the running community!   View the pictures I mentioned in this episode here: https://sparkhealthyrunner.com/duane_scotti_running_story/   There are six parts of your running journey that need to be optimized so you can run strong and last long!
