In this episode, I got to interview running and strength coach Mark Bottenhorn.

He is also a mental health advocate and strength coach, who coaches runners of all levels. Mark is a well-accomplished runner who has achieved the 4th fastest run time in North America for the 6-hour Michigan Summer Stampede Ultra! 

We dig into what his running journey was like with overcoming mental health obstacles and combining strength training into running. He’s a goal getter and we talk about how to accomplish your running goals. 

Mark’s coaching services can be found on his website at http://www.markbottenhorn.com and on Instagram at @bottenhornrunning & @run_strong_coaching 

You can listen into Mark’s podcast, Fighting Strong on iTunes and Spotify! Stay tuned for his new podcast, Strong Sessions, a quick 15-30 minute listen for technical talks with his powerlifting coach.

In this episode, I had the great pleasure of talking with Chris Johnson. He is a triathlete, physical therapist, and running & triathlon coach.

Chris shares all things running, treating runners, and coaching runners! He gives advice on what it will take to break 5 minutes in the mile and even turns the tables on me at some point and asks me a few coaching questions on my goal of breaking 5.

If you’re a runner, physical therapist, or rehab or performance professional, you don’t want to miss this one!⠀

His services for physical therapy and performance coaching can be found at http://www.zerenpt.com. He also has a number of resources for physical therapists that can be found on this website.

You can follow him on Instagram @zerenpt.

He is the Founder of the Runners Zone, a Facebook group and for running professionals that is changing the game in the way runners are treated. He also hosts his own podcast - The Runners Zone podcast.

In this episode, I'm honored to speak to a great friend and huge inspiration to me,  Hannah Moldenhauer. We used to run together in Mississippi when running was just a hobby for her. Now, it's been AMAZING to see her transform in her running journey as she kills her 4:48 marathon time to a 3:06 marathon. You don't want to miss this one! 

Besides being an extremely talented runner, she is also a running coach at Without Limits and can be found at @runfastrunred and www.iamwithoutlimits.com/. 

In this episode, I got to chat with physical therapist, running coach, and indoor run studio owner, Danielle Adler Kroot.

As a physical therapist, Danielle became more exposed to patients and coworkers who were runners. From a previous dislike of running, she started running in 2014 when she became a physical therapist. With a special opportunity to treat patients in Australia, she has learned an even more detailed lens of running analysis.

We get to dig into what it was like for her to get into the process of running, eventually breaking PRs in marathons, and navigating her indoor run studio. Listen in to find out her unique experiences in Australia with physiotherapy and in Boston with the New England running culture!

Special Episode 3/3 with Physical Therapist and Running Coach Rebecca Klingenschmitt!

In this episode we dive into Rebecca's professional story. We chat about when she knew she wanted something different than the standard quo for her career and how she started to make the shift while still working full time for someone else. We chat about how she has started to help runners online while working full time and how this will help her eventually transition into her own cash based practice!

Podcast Episode with Michelle Pottratz! Athletic Trainer turned Personal Trainer and Running Coach!

This is SPECIAL EPISODE 1 of 3 where I sit down and talk with three other RUNNING CLINICIANS who were and are sick of the standard quo in healthcare and started doing things their own way.

Abby Peachy is a runner, physical therapist, and running coach. 

In this episode I got to interview my current running coach Juli Benson. 

Juli has been coaching for over 20 years. She's coached at the collegiate level in the past and she currently coaches anywhere from beginners to Olympians. 

She is a former Olympian herself in the 1500m. So we get to dig into what it was like to be a professional runner and compete on the most prestigious stage!

We talk about what it takes to perform at your best and I'll give you a sneak peak... a lot of what we talked about comes back to MINDSET. 

Juli can be found at https://julibensontraining.com/. At the time of this episode she currently has spots available for individual coaching :) 

In this episode I share where I'm currently at in my running journey. I address running in the heat, my recent move, my current goals towards breaking 5, AND a bout of heel pain I'm currently dealing with. As always keeping it real and can't wait to share this with you all!
