#067 [Come Back Series] Return to Run (and crushing it) after Open Heart Surgery


Listen Later

In this episode I sit down with Brian Barney,  a physical therapist and an assistant high school cross country and track coach.  


We discuss how he returned to running after having OPEN HEART SURGERY after finding out he had a congenital heart abnormality. And he isn’t slow, this past year he returned to running some pretty speedy 800m and mile times, just barely missing BREAKING 5 as well. 


We chat about his running history as well as his experience as a physical therapist working with runners, high school cross country and track coach, professor and all the hats Brian wears or has worn in the past.


We also discussed his long term aspirations and how he would like to help his community and specifically the black community in both running and healthcare. He also serves as the Captain of the Cincinnati Chapter of Black Man Run, a national organization, and we discuss how this has helped Brian. 


Brian can be found on IG at @brianbarneypt. 

Catch this one to learn how to Surmount the Odds 🙂
