    It's Probably Tendin-opathy Not -Itis w/ Sean Crandell DPT

    It's Probably Tendin-opathy Not -Itis w/ Sean Crandell DPT

    Join my and my physical therapist, Sean Crandell as we talk about tendons, one of my favorite subjects.
    Sean has helped me with ankle and knee issues and works with Nancy Foley who runs the practice he's at who has served many of our GHP members over the years.
    On this show, I engage Sean about tendons and learned valuable lessons about the difference between tendinopathy, tendonitis, and tendinosis.
    It's also a great refresher on the beauty of scientific discovery as well as its limitations. And that scientific discovery is really just a physical manifestation of philosophy.

    Running for Art with Alyssa Chance

    Running for Art with Alyssa Chance

    Join me on this episode with Alyssa Chance, a local runner here in Pittsburgh who runs everyday to view various artworks around the city.
    Alyssa impressively amasses 80-100mile weeks consistently. So consistent, that in the last 2 years, she's only not hit 80+ miles per week, once.
    Her commitment can be summarized by one line from her husband "so where are you running today?"
    Tune in to an amazing story by someone who began running in her 30s and now runs 8-15 miles a day to see all of the amazing artwork around our city.
    You can find her on Instagram @RunTheChance and on Strava as Alyssa Chance
