228. I DID IT! I Quit My Faculty Job to Pursue my Passion Full Time
“We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us”
After 19 years working for the University in either a part time faculty role or as Clinical Associate Professor of Physical Therapy, I did it! I pushed out of my comfort zone and decided to quit my 9-5 job to pursue my passion within the running community.
In this episode, I get vulnerable and share with you why I decided to make this very difficult decision and I also share some very exciting news on what is next for you…the runner within our Healthy Runner community!
Let’s be real here — Improving as an adult runner can be overwhelming and frustrating at times. I understand the constant struggle of searching for the best run plans, strength exercises, or foods to eat that actually make a difference and still coming up short each time. Or worse, finding a training plan that brought you a new shiny PR but you have to take a break from running because you’re injured or burned out.
There are six parts of your running journey that need to be optimized so you can run strong and last long! These are mindset, strength training, run plan, nutrition, recovery, and race strategy.
It got me thinking….Maybe we can create something for our Healthy Runner community!

Instead of following a training plan that only focuses on running or waiting to go to rehab for your next injury, you can access all the education and exercises you need to start growing in your running journey so you’ll not only feel more confident in getting stronger and faster but you’ll stay healthy and enjoy the process of running again!
227. IT Band Syndrome Prevention Tips to Conquer Marathon Training with Dr. Duane Scotti
Are you a runner who’s been frustrated in the past that whenever you try to train for a marathon you get sharp pain on the outside of your knee?
Iliotibial Band Syndrome can be frustrating for many runners during a long run when you get that sudden jolt of knee pain that just stops you in your tracks and then you have to deal with lingering achiness and stiffness throughout your day when you get up from a chair, go down stairs, kneel, or squat.
Are you worried that your knee pain will come back during marathon training because you think you are just preordained to get ITB syndrome?
Training for 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 knee after your runs, ice it, using a IT band strap, KT tape, or doing IT band stretches.
In this episode, I am going to unravel the mystery of how we as runners can prevent IT band pain during marathon training!
Whether you are about to embark on marathon training for beginners or you are a seasoned marathoner who has suffered through knee pain during your 16, 18, or 20 mile long runs then this episode is for you!
Avoid IT band pain this marathon season with these 6 tips!
