186. Running Injury? Don’t Stop Running with Matt Chittim

Want to know what running injuries are safe to run through?  As an injured runner you may have been told to stop running and rest in order to get rid of your pain.   Well-meaning medical professionals are just trying to make you feel better and get rid of your running injury and pain. However, this could be a recipe for preventing you from getting back to the sport you love! In this episode, I chat with my friend Matt Chittim from the Rambling Runner Podcast  on the most common injuries you don’t have to stop running.  I will break down 3 reasons to not stop running when you have a running injury.  We delve into how to overcome proximal hamstring tendinopathy, runner’s knee, IT band syndrome, and plantar fasciitis.     Matt and I also had a fun segment called 5 running shoe questions in which I shared my favorite daily trainer, race day shoe, and one shoe I wanted to love but just didn’t work for me.   Watch the YouTube video to see the shoes I talk about here.   Watch my previous episode with Matt   There are six parts of your running journey that need to be optimized so you can run strong and last long!  Learn them here   Links and Resources from the show:   - Learn more about Matt and Rambling Runner   - Follow Rambling Runner on Instagram - Download my free Injury Prevention Blueprint - Listen to my previous episode on how I became an injury free runner   Want the structured strength and run plan with motivation and accountability to reach your highest running potential?
