[Download] The Ultimate Plantar Fasciitis Guide for Runners
 
Are you a runner who’s been frustrated in the past that whenever you try to increase your speed or distance you get sharp pain under your heel?   
 
You feel it when you take that first step out of bed in the morning or get up from your desk during work. 
 
Plantar fasciitis can be frustrating for many runners the day after a long run or whenever you want to train for speed.  
 
Are you worried that your foot pain will come back during training because you think you're getting too old for running?
 
Training for a half marathon or a marathon doesn’t need to be painful and you don’t have to rely on the following strategies (that actually don’t fix the problem) of icing your foot after your runs, taping your foot, buying expensive orthotics, or switching your running shoes.  
 
In this episode, I am going to unravel the mystery of how to add injury prevention strategies before, during, and after running with 10 easy ways to prevent plantar fasciitis!
 
Whether you are about to embark on training for your first race or you are a seasoned marathoner who has suffered through stubborn heel pain in the past, this episode is for you!
 
Avoid plantar fasciitis this summer with these 10 easy tips!

Have you recently been injured and you are wondering how to adjust your plan for your big goal race and you are afraid that you won’t get to the start or finish line?  That is what Saundra thought when she got injured after training for her first chance at the New York City Marathon after trying to get in for 11 years.  She got her shot and didn’t want to miss it!  
If you have had plantar fasciitis and you were told that you just need to stop running or if you have had injuries pop up after surgery training for your first marathon back, then you will need to listen to Saundra’s inspiring story on how she was not only able to run NYC marathon but then knock off a couple of other states for her 50 state race goal and finish the epic and exhilarating Big Sur Marathon!  
I have had the pleasure to witness Saundra’s transformation firsthand as her running physical therapist and coach through our Spark Healthy Runner signature coaching program and Saundra (like so many of the clients I am fortunate enough to work with) is exactly why I am passionate about what I do today.
