With my solo episode out this week where I dove into my recent injury, for my running nerds out there enjoy today's BONUS episode on injury prevention with Sean Roach, physical therapist, biomechanics expert, and founder of Aletheia Run—a company creating cutting-edge tech to help runners better understand and prevent injuries.

Sean shares his deeply personal and professional journey, from battling chronic running injuries to working with elite Nike athletes, and now developing wearable tools that offer real-time insights into running mechanics. We dig into why so many runners get injured, how traditional injury prevention methods fall short, and why strength training (done right) is non-negotiable for long-term performance. 

Sean also explains how biomechanics, neurology, and even fascia all connect—and why your foot pain might actually be coming from your hips or even your neck. Whether you're a marathoner or just trying to stay healthy and injury-free, this episode is packed with eye-opening insights and actionable takeaways.
