Running with a chronic illness is not easy and DEFINITELY NOT talked about enough. Some of you may not even know, but, actually run with a mild chronic illness! Despite whether or not you have a chronic illness, you probably know at least one person who does, and there needs to be more education centered around how to safely run with a chronic illness, so in this episode, I have Dr. Kate Bochnewetch here to discuss what a chronic illness is and how to safely run with a chronic illness. In this episode, we will discuss

• What is a chronic illness?
• How does having a chronic illness affect the ability to run physically? 
• What is the boom bust cycle of running?
• What guides your ability to progress runner’s volume without getting stuck in the boom bust cycle of running?
• How can running with a chronic illness affect you mentally, and how should your mindset change?
• Does diet help with flare ups?
• What are some positive ways to shift and cope with chronic illness AND injury
