Natalie Miano and Navigating the Waters of Injury OC-Are You Serious?

Natalie Miano came on the podcast to talk about her stellar performance in Jacksonville before COVID 19 shut down all races for an indefinitely amount of time, and how in that time period she made a conscious decision to undergo a necessary surgery for her health and how that surgery ended up sidelining her indefinitely as the incisions didn't heal properly. Other things we discuss:

- Her support network that's helping her get through this

- Listening to her husband, Marc Batres, and seeing significant improvements in her performance

- How Marc's training has had a significant impact on getting people qualified for Boston as well as taking a rag-tag high school track team to competing for championships

- How running at a high level and remaining injury free is impossible

- Her rehabilitation plans and how she's been training

- An OCR friends and family get together in West Virginia even if the race is cancelled

Natalie wanted to give a shout out to not only her husband Marc Batres and his coaching business for helping her improve so much as well as VJ Shoes and how much she misses running in them.
