If you’ve ever felt your form fall apart mid-run, your legs turn to concrete, or minor aches become major injuries, this webinar is for you.

Dr. Heather breaks down the science behind muscle fatigue and reveals why it is one of the most overlooked contributors to running injuries. You’ll learn how fatigue starts in the brain, how it changes your running mechanics, and how subtle breakdowns in movement patterns can quickly escalate into IT band pain, plantar fasciitis, Achilles issues, low back pain, and more.

You’ll discover:

✔ The physiology of muscle fatigue (ATP, motor neurons, metabolic stress)
✔ Why fatigue alters your gait and increases injury risk
✔ The role of nutrition, electrolytes, and hydration in sustained performance
✔ Strength, durability, and gait strategies that reduce fatigue
✔ How to build a fatigue-resistant body that can handle long miles
✔ What most runners get wrong with fueling, pacing, and recovery

This podcast gives you the science, the why, and the practical takeaways so you can run stronger, longer, and injury-free.


Perfect for runners of all levels, from new runners building a base to marathoners and ultra runners increasing volume.
