In this episode, I speak with Dr. Shari Miller who is a physical therapist and board certified orthopedic clinical specialist. We discuss the root causes of running injuries and why rest may not be your best treatment option. We discuss when to seek the help of a PT vs. self treat why running shoes don't prevent injuries as much as we thought and finally, how physical therapy can help you get over your running injury faster.

In this episode of the RunBuzz podcast, we look at the impact of aging on our running performance. From what you can expect, to steps you can take to push back the aging barrier.

In this episode, we talk about the long run and answer some frequently asked listener questions such as why we do not need to train up to our full race distance, why we need to run the long run at a slow and easy pace, and what happens if we run the long run too hard. We discuss the physiological changes that occur when we train and how that enables us to run faster on race day.
