In this episode, I recap my recent Jersey City Half Marathon race on September 28th. This race will forever have a special place in my heart for so many reasons, and I am so excited to share with you all exactly why! Stay tuned for the end if you are interested to know what my next race will be… it’s a big scary goal!!

I Pr’d my half marathon by 13 minutes. One reason I truly think I was able to do this was because of how mentally prepped I was to endure the 13.1 miles at my half marathon pace. I can’t stress the mental importance enough, so in this episode I have physical therapist Dr. Jessica Wulke here to discuss the importance of neurocognitive training for runners.

I just ran Hyrox NYC on June 1st. Hyrox is a running and strength based competition that consist of 8 1000 meter runs with 8 functional strength exercises sandwiched in the middle of each run. It was some of the most fun I had in a long time, but it can definitely be overwhelming to register for Hyrox without knowing what to expect. So, in this episode I discuss my Hyrox Recap and important tips that I learned from a Physical Therapist and Run Coach perspective.
