In S4Ep10 of the PRP, Adam gets educated by blossoming long distance runner, emerging entrepreneur and DPT extraordinaire, Eliana Lin who has been preparing for the Bayshore Half Marathon on Saturday May 25th, 2024. Austin Lin, former track aficionado, aspiring PhD candidate and Eliana’s better half joins the show to offer his take on all things strength, business hustle and bananas. 

Rubber meets the road immediately in this unique sode as the PRP listenership is enlightened with the origin stories of Up & Running Performance, Ann Arbor’s newest strength and physical therapy gym, owned and operated by both Eliana and Austin. Eliana discusses the intricacies of navigating the fine line between being both a healthcare provider and an entrepreneur and provides some amazing insight for athletes about how to traverse the early onset of potential injuries. 


Things get vulnerable when Eliana reflects on the reality she has been faced with - launching a new business venture while training for a race. Naturally, bandwidth for good, consistent training has been low as has been working tirelessly to build the early stages of a successful business brick by brick. Although she’d love to beat her half marathon time from Bayshore last year, Austin is quick to remind her that she’s made the right decision to prioritize getting Up & Running Performance, well, up and running. A good reminder for us all about the seasons of life and that it’s ok, and in fact healthy, to prioritize other passions and endeavors outside of the performance world from time to time. Embrace life and race with what ya got in the tank, you’ll probably end up having more fun that way anyways. 

We team no swass up in da house, say whaaa?! B-day blasting?? What on earth is a strength hall pass and how can you earn one?!  What the hell does calorie to coin mean?! Texas Instruments?? Podcasting in the shower?! Errr, soooo, what are we? Blankets in the summer?! Nanner trinkets?? Pole vaulting, rigatoni and rom coms oh my! 

This and so much more in this educating, revealing and good vibes episode of the PRP!
