Today I speak with Dr. Kate Edwards, the founder of Precision Performance & Physical Therapy. She has dedicated her life to helping runners feel better and perform better. She is residency trained in orthopedics, a Board Certified Orthopedic Specialist and trained in running medicine. She and her team at Precision Performance treat Elite, collegiate, high school and recreational runners. Her race resume includes several marathons and three Bostons. She has been a running coach, authored books & research articles about running, teaches and lectures nationally & internationally, is the co-host of the More Than Miles podcast and recently launched a new running company, Fast Bananas.


She shares her story of nearly dying while running because of a rare genetic heart disease. She has used all she has learned in practice and from her experience to build Fast Bananas, a one stop resource for runners!

You can expect conversation with moms and postpartum professionals from all aspects of the industry.

If you're like me, you don't have a lot of free time (heck, you're probably listening at 1.5x speed), so theses interviews will be quick hits to get your the pertinent information FAST!
