In this month’s episode of the Next Level Running Podcast, Coach Sean Henning and I are joined by Certified Athletic Trainer Jacob Hayes for an in-depth conversation about common running injuries. We break down some of the most frequent issues runners face—like shin splints, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and more—along with practical tips on how to prevent these setbacks before they start. Jacob also shares valuable advice on effective rehab strategies, when to seek professional help, and how to stay smart and healthy in your training. It was a fun and insightful chat about some of the not-so-fun parts of running, packed with actionable takeaways for runners of all levels!

In this month's episode of the Next Level Running Podcast Angie Brown of Real Life Runners joins me to talk about the Real Life Runners and women's running! Angie and her husband Kevin started the Real Life Runners as a resource for runners and health-minded individuals to get on track to healthy living.

They like to say "Our lives are meant to be awesome. And we wanna show people the shortcut to better health through running, exercise and nutrition." They put a distinct purpose on every run and every workout. They want to make sure that you are healthy and avoiding the cycle of injury and re-injury that many runners face. 

Angie really dives into her passion for coaching women that are entering into their 30s, 40s, and 50s. We touch on how things change and you don't just have to be defeated by that but how you can work with the changes that happen as we age and how you can conquer the challenges you face!
