Join Brooke and Leah as they chat about the not-so-positive running habits & mindsets they see as a Physical Therapist & Sports Dietitian in the running space and HOW to avoid falling into these habits and mindsets. Maybe you're a runner feeling burned out but feeling guilty about needing a break from running or maybe you're a runner stuck in an injury cycle and are MISERABLE because you can't run. This episode is jam packed with helpful tips on how to ride the ebbs and flows of your running journey (in a healthy and positive way). 

Leah has been a practicing PT for nearly a decade which is also when she began here running career. Prior to that she was a competitive swimmer starting at the age of 8 and retired her senior year of college. During her career she was a D1 All-American and competed at the Olympic Trials. Leah’s athletic career was anything but linear and she faced many hardships which originally lead her to a career in physical therapy. However, after starting her running journey, it was clear she had an unhealthy relationship with athletics. Her mission is to help runners reach their potential in a healthy manner by treating the person, not just the runner. And help them understand that running adds value to our lives but it is not what makes us valuable.
