    The Messy Middle: The Last 20% of Healing Is the Hardest

    If you’re recovering from a foot fracture, stress fracture, or running injury and wondering why the last part of healing feels the hardest — this episode is for you. In this episode of Runnah, I’m talking about the messy middle and that final 20% of recovery that nobody prepares you for. You’re cleared to run… but it still hurts. You’re “better”… but not back. You’re grateful… and also completely frustrated. Healing from a foot fracture isn’t just physical — it’s mental. And that last stretch? It can feel slow, annoying, discouraging, and honestly kind of debilitating in a way that’s hard to explain to people who haven’t been there. I share: What the final stage of foot fracture recovery actually feels like Why the last 20% of healing takes so long The mental side of returning to running after injury How I’m pacing my comeback miles Why this phase can feel lonelier than the beginning If you’re coming back from a stress fracture, bone injury, or long running layoff, and you’re stuck in that gray zone between injured and healed — you are not behind, you are not weak, and you are definitely not alone. Recovery is not linear. Returning to running after a foot fracture takes patience, humility, and more emotional energy than most people realize. This episode is real, honest, and for anyone in the middle of it.

    Can YOU take on A Multi-Day Ruck as a Beginner?

    I’m joined by Sam from Ruck for HIT, a powerful event supporting veterans and military families through Heroes In Transition. This isn’t just a race — it’s a community-driven ruck and run that honors service, resilience, and the strength it takes to transition home. We talk about: What Ruck for HIT is and why it matters The mission behind Heroes In Transition Why rucking is such a powerful way to show up and show support How everyday runners can be part of something that truly impacts lives If you’ve ever wanted your miles to mean more — this is one way to do it. Ruck for HIT supports Heroes In Transition, a nonprofit serving veterans, service members, and military families across Cape Cod and Massachusetts.

    You're Running in Shoes Made for Men: How Hettas is Changing That

    In this episode of Runnah, I’m really excited to sit down with Lindsay Housman, the founder and CEO of Hettas — a Canadian performance footwear brand based in Vancouver that’s on a mission to redefine how athletic shoes are made for women. Lindsay started Hettas in 2023 from her own experience with foot pain and frustration. She kept running into the same problem many of us know too well: footwear that should work but doesn’t — not because of lack of effort or willpower, but because it was never designed with women’s anatomy and real movement in mind. What followed was deep research, intentional design, and a brand built around evidence, experience, and honest insight. We talk about: Why women’s foot anatomy deserves its own performance research How Hettas shoes are engineered differently Lindsay’s personal running and pain-to-purpose journey What it means to create gear that respects variation, comfort, and performance How community feedback and science are shaping the future of footwear This conversation isn’t just about shoes — it’s about seeing a gap and deciding that enough is enough. If you’ve ever felt like your gear wasn’t made for you, or you’ve dealt with foot pain that doesn’t seem to match your effort, this episode will feel like a deep exhale.

    The World's First Adaptive Slipper (for foot drop) - Cadense Havena Slipper Review

    I’m sharing an honest review of the Cadense Havena Women’s Adaptive Slipper, but more importantly, I’m sharing why a shoe like this matters to me right now — in the middle of a new dystonia diagnosis, ongoing foot injuries, and a season where my body is asking for way more care than I’m used to giving it. Dystonia has changed how my feet move, how my muscles fire, and how unpredictable my body can feel from day to day. Some days are okay. Some days are frustrating. And on all of them, what I put on my feet matters — not just for comfort, but for stability, safety, and nervous system calm. This isn’t a “best shoe ever” hype video. It’s a real conversation about: Navigating recovery when your nervous system is involved Why adaptive footwear matters for people with neurological and chronic conditions How I’m using the Havena off-run while my body figures itself out What support actually feels like when your feet don’t always cooperate Letting go of the idea that every shoe has to be about miles Right now, running looks different for me. Healing looks slower. And adaptation isn’t optional — it’s the work. This shoe has become part of how I move through my days with a little more ease and a little less fight. If you’re dealing with dystonia, EDS, injury, chronic pain, or a body that won’t follow the plan you wrote in your head — I hope this helps you feel a little less alone.

You’re not inconsistent. You’re adapting. Runnah Contact: RunnahPod@gmail.com
