Chicago Marathon Training Base Building Weekly Total: 41 miles Total Runs: 5 Here’s a little look into each day of running this week. Only 5 runs this week, but 2 workout days. We are really locking in on speed work before we get into higher mileage work closer to the actual Chicago build. Monday: ~9 mile track workout Tuesday: 7 miles easy Wednesday: 6 miles easy Thursday: Off Friday: 9 mile workout Saturday: 10 miles easy Sunday: Off Really need to get heat acclimated. This summer is going to destroy us 🥵 How is your training going? Drop a comment below👇 #run #marathon #physio #strength #training

Ankle Strength and Stability 💪🏽 When runners pile on mileage, workouts, and speed, the ankles are an area that can get cranky. Whether it’s the achilles, post-tib, or plantar fascia, ankle stability and strengthening should be integral in your routine. This leads to better single limb stance balance, more foot/ankle control, increased force transfer, and usually a more efficient stride. I like adding these exercises into your warm ups or adding them into your strength days. Doesn’t need to be complicated. A few exercises, when consistently done, goes a long way. Strong ankles won’t guarantee you stay injury free, but weak ones definitely make running harder than it needs to be. #ankle #pain #strength #physio #run

The marathon block is ruthless, but there is beauty in it. 10 days until we rip in Michigan. #running #runningmotivation #marathon #runner #fitness

Single leg strengthening 💪🏽 Running is technically a series of single leg movement. Every stride requires your body to absorb force, stabilize, and produce power on one leg at a time. That’s why single leg strength work matters. Exercises like the ones shown above can improve hip stability, balance, force production, and control through the hip, knee, and ankle. Deficits in single leg strength can be associated with common running injuries like patellofemoral pain, runners knee, IT band pain, and Achilles injuries. The best runners can control their body on one leg for thousands of steps at a time. If you want to run longer, faster, and with fewer injuries, don’t skip the single leg work. #strength #run #marathon #training #physio

We’ve all been here. Taper playing tricks. Quick transition from spring to summer. Limbo between fitness and heat adaptations. YOU ARE GOOD. You didn’t lose your fitness. TRUST THE WORK YOU PUT IN. This is all part of endurance training, especially in hot climates. I’ll be doing my tempos on treadmills this summer. #runner #running #fitness #runningmotivation #marathon

A few years ago I wasn’t a runner. As a former baseball guy, running more than a mile was foreign to me. When I started, I didn’t really enjoy it. It felt hard, things hurt all the time, and it felt like something that I had to push myself through most days. But I stuck with it. Over time the runs got easier, my mindset shifted, and somewhere along the way it stopped being something I forced and started being something I actually look forward to. Consistency in training was HUGE. As a competitor, something that helped me was getting races on the calendar. Something I could train for and compete in. Now it’s just part of my routine… and honestly one of the best parts of my day. Also cool that I get to run with @dr.gabygo everyday. Getting “better” at running took me years. I’ve gone from feeling some type of weird pain after every run to consistently getting in 30-50 miles a week. Similarly, my PRs have improved dramatically since my first races. If you’re a runner struggling with injuries, motivation to run, or having trouble enjoying running, stick with it. I promise you’ll enjoy it more than you think! #run #marathon #training #strength #physio

BAA 5k Recap 🦄 A couple weeks ago I raced in the pro field of the BBA 5k. This is my second time running this race and I can’t wait to run it again. My final time was 16:09. With my A goal being sub 16 I was a bit disappointed to have fell short, but overall I was proud of this race knowing that I did everything I could have to hit the goal on the day. The race went out fast, and the field was stacked with world class runners. I found a good spot in the chase pace and decided this would be my group for the race. We ran very even splits the whole way (3:13/3:14 per km). The weather was cool and the streets were paced with people cheering and lots of my friends and family. I used the energy of the course and my own mental focus to make sure I stuck right with the pack. Turning into the final stretch down Boyalston I knew based on my splits I would need to close hard to hit my A goal. I started shifting gears and running with an all or nothing mentality. With about 150m to go i really tied up and hit a wall and the pace slowed way down. I cross the finish line in 16:09. If I had ran a bit smarter of a final 800m would my time have been 16:03 or a bit faster? Maybe. But the goal was sub 16 and I knew the only way to run that was to go for broke. And I am never that disappointed when I know I left everything on the course. I had the best weekend then with friends and family and cheering on everyone in the marathon. Can’t wait to race this same race again next year! Let’s work together! All information on services offered linked in bio. #5k #5ktraining #bostonmarathon #runner #run

A small glimpse into one runner’s rehab for Iliotibial Band Syndrome Today’s session focused on: 👟single leg control 🏃🏼‍♀️ frontal/transverse plane stability 💰 hip strength + pelvic control 🏋🏼‍♀️tendon/load tolerance 🥊reactive & elastic loading ✨PSA✨foam rolling your IT band is the junk food of rehab activities: it’s better than starving; at best it feels good in the moment, but it’s easy to over-do and can hinder your long term goals. Some key concepts for IT band syndrome that research tells us: 🌸 ITBS is probably more of a compression/load management problem than a friction problem 🌸 The IT band itself is not something you meaningfully “stretch” 🌸 Rehab should focus more on movement variability, strength, load tolerance, and running mechanics 🌸 There is no single “root cause” for every runner. Rehab is nuanced. There is no universal “IT band protocol,” and what works for one runner may not work for another. But improving your ability to tolerate and control load — especially in the presence of injury — can be a huge piece of getting back to running well, not just running pain-free. #itbandsyndrome #sportsphysicaltherapy #runner #runningrehab #healthyballer

Runner’s knee, also known as patellofemoral pain (PFPS), is one of the most common injuries in runners. It typically shows up as pain around or behind the kneecap, especially with running, stairs, hills, squatting, or sitting for long periods. Research often shows that the knee joint is being overloaded past capacity. When the patellofemoral joint is exposed to more stress than the tissues can currently tolerate, pain develops. That overload can come from sudden increases in training volume, reduced strength in the quads and hips, poor single leg control, or mechanics that increase stress at the knee. The goal of rehab is to calm symptoms down and improve the capacity of the muscles surrounding the knee joint so it can better tolerate the demands of running. Here are a few rehab exercises I like to give my patients. Entry points to a few of these may be further along into the rehab process than others, so make sure you see a rehab professional if needed. I try to comprehensively strengthen the lower body by targeting the quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves, etc. #knee #pain #strength #physio #run
