Summary

Jessica, an aspiring ultra runner, shares her journey of overcoming knee pain and achieving success in her races. She started running in 2020 and quickly fell in love with the challenge and adventure of trail running. However, she began experiencing knee pain that hindered her progress.


Frustrated and unsure of how to fix her knee pain, she came across a running program that focused on strength training and proper running form. With the guidance of the coaching team, Jessica started incorporating weight training and specific running workouts into her routine.


Within six weeks, she noticed significant improvements in her knee pain and overall strength. She went on to complete a 38-mile race, finishing first among females and 10th overall, without any knee pain. Jessica's next goal is to complete a 50-mile race and eventually work towards a 100-mile race.
