Welcome to the #RunPainFree Podcast. Today, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio talks with Scott Douglas, author of The Athlete's Guide to CBD. They discuss what CBD is, what it's not, what to look out for, and how it actually may benefit you as a runner. 

Bio: Scott Douglas is a contributing writer for Runner's World and the author/co-author of several books, including Running Is My Therapy, The Athlete's Guide to CBD, Advanced Marathoning, and the New York Times bestsellers 26 Marathons and Meb for Mortals.
