Raise your hand if you are still riding the high of the Olympic Marathon Trials that took place on Saturday February 3rd ?!

The Super Bowl of running did not disappoint and we want to talk all about it. There was so much to unpack - we naively thought we would have a 15-20 minute conversation and of course that didn't happen.
Join us as we chat all things Olympic Marathon Trials.
We love running!

Welcome to Olympic Marathon Trials week! We are pumped to have 2:47 marathoner, Jereny Rivera on the show to share the BEST of her hometown of Orlando, FL!

Jereny truly loves running and in the last eight years, she has transformed herself from a 5:25 marathoner to a 2:47 marathoner (she achieved that time at the Houston Marathon in 2023). Oh, and Jereny lost 50 pounds along the way, plus she is just getting started to become the fastest version of herself. Look out 2028 Olympic Trials - Jereny is coming for you!

In this chat, we dig into Jereny's progression as a runner and what her goals are for 2024. Then we talk all things ORLANDO! What a treat to get Jereny's perspective as a runner who loves her city, she knows these streets and we get the 411 for everyone traveling to Orlando for the Trials this week. 

Enjoy the conversation!

What an end of the year treat to have 2:56:02 marathoner and physical therapist (to the running stars!), Jessica Dorrington on the Suite Run Podcast! Here is Jessica's impressive bio in her own words:

I have a love for helping people stay active and see the athlete in us all.  My goal is to get every person back to what they love to do. 

 As a practicing physical therapist in Portland, OR since 2002, I have been honored to be a part of the journey of many athletes. This includes assisting dozens of professional and Olympic athletes and subsequent return to elite performance. I was honored to be asked to lead PT at the World Track and Field Championships.  I take a comprehensive approach to my practice, considering the multidimensional interplay of core, pelvic floor, sports therapy, gait mechanics, and orthopedic considerations to ensure every patient is set up for success. I have extensive credentialing, ensuring advanced competency including as a Board Certified Orthopedic Clinical Specialist through the American Physical Therapy Association, Certified Manual Physical Therapist, Pelvic Rehabilitation Practitioner’s Certification, Intrapartum Pelvic Care Training, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, and Post-Partum Corrective Exercise Specialist Certification, Bike Fit Certified, ASTYM certified.  As my accolades display, I am an education junkie who continues to live my life’s passion through over 1200 combined hours of post-graduate clinical education and teaching for other medical providers, physical therapists, and practitioners. My mission is simple: I want to get every patient back to doing what they love to do. When I’m not with family or helping patients, I am out on the trails, road and track practicing what I preach. 

Friends, you are in for a great conversation and an inspiring jump start to the new year! In the second part of our chat, Jessica shares with us her go-to places to train, dine out, race and more in the great city of Portland. Let's go!
