If you're a chronically injured runner—or you're just feeling a niggle in your knee—this is the podcast for you.
Christy Diller, PT, long-time runner, and running coach, talks you through:
—When there's pain, how to discern between when to keep running and when to take a break;
—Why movement is, with few exceptions, always beneficial (both for physical healing + mental health);
—How she had an a-ha moment with her Achilles (even PT's get sick of doing their exercises!)
—And why walking backwards as part of your cool down is a smart add-on.
