For over 10 years now, running has been one of the biggest constants in my life, and my goal is that it becomes the same for you. As a physical therapist, one of my foundational core values is that movement is medicine, which is why I am extremely passionate about keeping runners healthy.

My mission is to help you do the thing you love the most as long as possible, and bring out the best runner and person you were born to be.

Strength Training During Marathon Training
We are entering August, and August means all those runners who are running a marathon this year will slowly be entering heavy mileage. One common challenge that a lot of my runners face is how to manage their strength training while still running sometimes up to 4-5 days per week. Many runners also have a a belief that strength training will inhibit their running gains due to muscle fatigue. So in this episode I have Danai here to debunk myths about strength training in marathon prep and how to manage your strength training vs running schedule during marathon season.
