In this episode, Matthew Boyd interviews his client, Chris, about his running journey and struggles with knee pain. Chris shares how he started distance running and eventually qualified for the Boston Marathon. However, he reached a plateau and decided to change his training program, which led to knee pain and injuries.

Chris tried various treatments and exercises but didn't find a long-term solution until he started working with Matthew. Through a combination of strength training and running, Chris was able to overcome his knee issues and achieve his running goals. He successfully completed the Berlin Marathon and is now looking forward to future races.

Chris Capicio shares his experience of overcoming a year-long knee injury and returning to marathon running without pain. He emphasizes the importance of setting new running goals, trying something different when previous methods fail, seeking professional help, and identifying and solving the problem. Chris's journey serves as an inspiration for runners who are going through similar challenges.
