Treat It or Train It? is the show for anyone caught between the foam roller and the finish line. Each week, a physical therapist and an endurance coach take real questions from listeners and settle the debate: is this an injury you need to treat, or something you can train through? One clinical eye, one performance eye, one clear verdict. 💪

What to expect each week
✅ Real listener questions, submitted by video
✅ Two perspectives: the rehab side and the performance side
✅ A straight answer on whether to rest and rehab, modify, or keep training
✅ Practical takeaways you can use on your next run, ride, swim, or workout

Outside the clinic he's on Ski Patrol at Mount Snow, still racing triathlons and marathons, and keeping up with his two kids.
