Today’s episode is going to completely change the way you look at running form.

I’m sure we’re all guilty of saying we have “bad form” while running. I know my own peroneal arthritis effects my form and the way I think about it, and that’s why I brought the Gait Guys on the podcast.

It’s time to get a new perspective! Durability is what Dr. Shawn Allen and Dr. Ivo Waerlop are all about.

Your running form isn’t really what matters. It’s how durable and economical that form is and what it’s doing to and for your body.

Will you help me give a wedding present today?

My guest didn’t start out as a runner, in fact, she did not start running until one year ago.

Chiara was a springboard diver who was inspired to run by the most powerful force of all: love!

As new runners, we all know how magical that first run can be, but today’s episode is truly for the romantic runner.

Chiara shares one of the most romantic relationship stories I have ever heard about how her fiancé Francesco inspired her to become a better runner and a better woman.

She’s discovered a whole new world of health and fitness that would not have been possible if she and Francesco had never met, and she shares with us how a new perspective on running can inspire change in your whole life.

Here are some of the topics we’ll discuss today:

How running compares to other niche sports
How feelings for a significant other can inspire your perspectives on health and exercise

If you’ve ever run a marathon, you know how hectic race day can be. 

You’re out of your element, you’re in a new area, and everything about your routine is falling apart. This is where Chris Heuisler comes in! 

I brought Chris on the podcast today to talk about what he does as the RunWestin Concierge. 

As concierge, he’s on-call to every single marathoner running the Rock ‘n Roll marathon.

Today my guest is one of the best distance runners in the country. 

Molly Huddle finished 6th in the 10k at the 2016 Rio Olympics and is about to try her legs out on her first marathon in New York. 

Molly is already a superstar – and has been since college – but that doesn’t stop her from learning new things. 

She’s going to s [...]
