    Mobility Aids, Physical Therapy & Body Awareness in EDS | Educated Movement - BENDY Series

    In this episode of the Runnah BENDY Series, we explore what it really means to move with intention in a body that doesn’t always follow the “standard rules.” E stands for Educated Movement — understanding physical therapy, mobility aids, posture, body positioning, and most importantly, learning how your own body communicates. As someone navigating EDS, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and other connective tissue challenges while training as a marathon and trail runner, I’ve learned that movement isn’t just about pushing harder. It’s about moving smarter, adapting, and respecting the signals your body gives you. We talk about: The role of physical therapy in long-term movement healthMobility aids and braces as tools, not limitationsRing splints and hand support for hypermobilityPosture and positioning for daily life and runningFinancial and emotional realities of managing chronic conditionsWhy “educated movement” is a form of self-advocacyThis episode is about removing shame from support tools and replacing it with knowledge, agency, and curiosity about what your body needs.

    B.E.N.D.Y. Episode 1: Body Maintenance - Running with Connective Tissue Disorders

    Welcome to Episode 1 of the B.E.N.D.Y. series, where we're talking about one of the most important foundations for running with EDS, HSD, and other connective tissue disorders: B = Body Maintenance If you're a runner with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome or hypermobility, you've probably learned the hard way that recovery isn't optional. In this episode, I'm sharing the tools, professionals, and resources that have helped me continue showing up as a Runnah while managing a body that sometimes likes to make things... interesting. We'll cover:🏃‍♀️ Physical Therapy🏃‍♀️ Sports Massage🏃‍♀️ Acupuncture🏃‍♀️ Building a knowledgeable care team🏃‍♀️ Finding providers who actually understand connective tissue disorders🏃‍♀️ Why body maintenance is training, not an afterthought Bay State Physical Therapy (Warwick, RI)https://locations.baystatept.com/ri/warwick/2080-warwick-avenue Enea Physical Therapyhttps://www.eneaphysicaltherapy.com/ Connective Tissue Coalitionhttps://www.connectivetissuecoalition.org/ Connective Tissue Coalition Provider Resourceshttps://www.connectivetissuecoalition.org/general-5 The Ehlers-Danlos Society Support Group & Charity Directoryhttps://www.ehlers-danlos.com/support-group-and-charity-directory/ r/EDShttps://www.reddit.com/r/eds/ r/EhlersDanloshttps://www.reddit.com/r/ehlersdanlos/ EDS Facebook Communityhttps://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Dn6odXqTd/ Hypermobility & EDS Facebook Communityhttps://www.facebook.com/share/g/1DWg49526C/ Jon (Connective Tissue Coalition)jrmarfan58@aol.com Running with EDS doesn't mean you're broken. It means your training plan often includes a few more specialists, a little more recovery, and occasionally enough KT tape to qualify as structural engineering. Whether you're running marathons, run-walking your first 5K, or trying to stay active while managing hypermobility, you're welcome here. If you've found a body maintenance strategy that's helped you keep running, share it in the comments so other bendy runners can learn from your experience. #EDS #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #Hypermobility #RunningWithEDS #Runner #Runnah #MarathonTraining #ChronicIllnessAthlete #PhysicalTherapy #KTTape #ConnectiveTissueDisorders Resources MentionedPhysical TherapyFinding EDS-Informed ProvidersCommunity ResourcesConnective Tissue Coalition Contact

    What does it look like to train for ultramarathons while living with a chronic inflammatory disease that affects your spine, joints, recovery, and daily life? In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Lewis Askew, an ultramarathon runner based in Hong Kong who was originally raised in the United Kingdom and is also living with Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS). As two runners navigating the realities of AS, we have an honest conversation about diagnosis, treatment, setbacks, training adaptations, and the extra work required to pursue big endurance goals while managing a chronic illness.

    Mount to Coast R1 Review | Reliable, Resilient, and Responsive

    In this episode of Runnah, I’m reviewing the Mount to Coast R1 after getting miles in the shoe during my current training block. Mount to Coast sent me this shoe to test, but this is not a paid review and all opinions are fully my own. The R1 has quickly become one of those shoes that just quietly does its job REALLY well. It’s consistent, dependable, durable, and comfortable in a way that makes you keep reaching for it day after day. Sometimes the best running shoes aren’t the loudest or flashiest ones… they’re the shoes that simply show up every single run and feel reliable no matter what. In this review, I talk about: Ride feel and overall comfortFoam and responsivenessFit, lockdown, and toe box spaceDurability and daily training performanceWho I think this shoe works best forWhy reliability matters so much in marathon and ultra trainingAs a runner navigating EDS, Ankylosing Spondylitis, hip dysplasia, and dystonia while training for long endurance goals, I’m always looking for shoes that feel stable, trustworthy, and capable of handling real mileage. The R1 has honestly impressed me a lot. 📩 Contact Runnah: runnahpod@gmail.com📱 Instagram: @runnahpod

    Adaptive Athletes in Ultras | Amy Rusiecki & Vermont 100

    In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with Amy Rusiecki, race director of the legendary Vermont 100 Endurance Race, to talk about one of the most important conversations happening in trail and ultra running right now: adaptive athlete inclusion. We dive into the Vermont 100’s groundbreaking Athletes With Disabilities (AWD) program and how the race became the first trail ultra to officially recognize adaptive athletes in their own division. We also talk about Amy’s work with Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports, what accessibility in endurance sports can actually look like, and why building welcoming trail communities matters so much. We also get into: Adaptive athletes in trail and ultra runningThe Vermont 100 race culture and communityAccessibility and inclusion in endurance sportsGuiding visually impaired runnersThe future of adaptive trail racingWhy the trails should belong to everybodyThis conversation is thoughtful, honest, emotional, and such an important listen for anyone who cares about the future of trail and ultra running. 📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod 🏔️ Vermont 100 Endurance Race:Official Vermont 100 Website ♿ Vermont Adaptive Ski & Sports:Vermont Adaptive 📧 Vermont 100 / Amy Rusiecki Contact:vt100@vermontadaptive.org

    Scottish Accents & Disney Chaos | A Brave Trivia Bonus Episode

    This week on a special RUNNAH bonus episode, we’re replaying a super fun appearance I made on a TV & movie podcast with host Brian, where we dive into Disney/Pixar’s Brave. From Merida’s rebellious energy to chaotic family dynamics, questionable decisions, Scottish accents we absolutely should not attempt, and all the heart hidden inside the movie, this episode is basically one big cozy campfire conversation with extra caffeine. Brian throws the questions, I throw the opinions, and somehow we survive the bear-related discourse. 🐻🏹 If you love Disney movies, movie debates, nostalgic rewatches, or just hearing me talk about something other than running for once, this one’s for you. Make sure to like, comment, and subscribe to RUNNAH for more bonus episodes, interviews, running stories, and occasional side quests into pop culture chaos.

    88 Miles and Still Questioning It | White Lake Ultras Recap

    In this episode of Runnah, I sit down with ultra runner Ben to break down his experience at the White Lake Ultras, where he ran an incredible new PR of 88 miles. We get into what actually worked during the race, what completely fell apart, the physical and mental side of running deep into ultra territory, and the complicated emotions that can come with a huge performance that still doesn’t fully feel like a “win.” We also talk about: Ultra running mindset and mental toughnessFueling, pacing, and race strategyThe emotional side of chasing big endurance goalsLearning from difficult racesWhy ultra running success isn’t always black and whiteBen’s ongoing quest to finish the legendary Jigger Johnson 100This is an honest conversation about ambition, grit, disappointment, progress, and what keeps runners coming back for more miles even after the wheels wobble a little. Because sometimes an 88-mile PR still leaves your brain going, “...yeah but.” 📩 Connect with RunnahEmail: runnahpod@gmail.comInstagram: @runnahpod
