| 13 Jun 2024 | 232. Half Marathon Mindset & Expectations- Duane’s 3 Race Lessons Learned | 00:44:27 | |
It’s not about the distance, it’s about the journey and last Saturday, I ran my 34th half marathon and although I didn’t quite hit my time goal, I learned 3 key takeaways from this race. Mindset is a part of the training and you will learn how that played a role in my latest training block and I hope it helps you have realistic expectations for your next running goal!
Whether you're training for a marathon, half marathon, or just aiming to improve your daily jogs, this training has something for everyone.
It is my hope that after listening to this and learning the one thing you must consider when planning your next race, you will avoid feeling disappointed because you didn’t hit the time on the clock.

Hey Runner! Want to do the thing we all love so much and do it for a long time and make it sustainable? In this episode, we uncover keys to running for life, community, and the planet that will bring joy to your running for longevity! Tina Muir from Running for Real is the founder and CEO of Running for Real; host of the award-winning podcast of the same name and co-host of Running Realized; a mother of two; and a former elite runner turned sustainability advocate. Tina and I chat about her new book Becoming a Sustainable Runner and her concern for health, community, and the environment. This was truly a special conversation that I think you will really enjoy as Tina was as real during our chat as she is on her podcast! We get into the following topics and so much more: - What does “Becoming” mean to Tina - What Tina learned from all her conversations on the Running for Real Podcast that helped her write her new book - Why is sustaining the runner’s mind and body important - How does life stressors affect our running - Was it hard for Tina to incorporate sustainable strength into her running - Managing achilles tendinopathy - How can runners sustain their communities - What can every runner do to sustain the planet - Misconception about becoming a sustainable runner
This was a reflective and informative conversation with a true leader within the running and podcast community! Tina Muir starts conversations, shares resources, and walks the walk about sustainability, climate change, and how individuals can make a positive difference in their own lives. I hope you not only enjoy this conversation but most importantly, learn a thing or two that you can implement into your running, community, and planet!

| 16 May 2024 | 228. I DID IT! I Quit My Faculty Job to Pursue my Passion Full Time | 00:23:44 | |
[Join] to be a Founding Member of Healthy Runner Academy “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! Right now it’s just an idea, I haven’t created anything yet but I want to share with you the vision of Healthy Runner Academy Powered by Spark!
Healthy Runner Academy is going to be created to fill a gap often found in traditional run plans and rehab programs. 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!
Running doesn’t need to suck and it doesn’t need to be painful, Healthy Runner Academy is going to be created to change that — Offering a supportive community, accountability, and tools for progress in executing the six key parts of your running journey all in one place.

| 16 Jan 2025 | 259. Why Marathon Training STARTS NOW with Coach Carolyn Coffin | 01:21:57 | |
[Download] The Ultimate Marathon Training Guide
How early should you start training for a marathon?...How about now!?
I had the opportunity to talk with the amazing Carolyn Coffin on the Inspired Soles Podcast on what we can do as runners when we are not officially "marathon training".
Carolyn Coffin is not only a friend of the show (episodes 108, 160, 200, 213) but she has a 3:21 marathon PB and recently ran a 3:24 in Chicago this past fall 9 years later!
In this episode, we discuss the importance of year-round training for marathon success and why Marathon Training technically starts way before your 16 or 20 week training cycle.
So if you are feeling a bit in a rut after the holidays and during the colder winter months but you still have big marathon goals in 2025 (like I do) then this is the episode for you!
We dive deep into mindset, strength training, and following a properly structured run plan so that you’re not starting back at square one when you decide to officially begin your next training cycle.

| 02 Mar 2023 | 165. Plantar Fasciitis Client Success Story | 00:36:27 | |
Plantar Fasciitis can be frustrating for all types of runners. Nicole is one of those runners who got foot pain after recovering from a knee injury when she attempted to run a 5k and then walk around the city of Chicago while on a vacation with her family. Like many runners, this was not Nicole’s first-time suffering from foot pain. This was the 4th episode since she started running later in life after her kids were grown up. Each time she got foot pain she was told to just stop running, wear shoes in the house all the time, and to alternate different running shoes each day. After the trip to Chicago, Nicole was devastated and wanted a different option so she didn’t have to stop running again. She was looking forward to getting back to her previous running life now that she has recovered from her knee injury. She was ready for a new solution, one that got to the root cause of why she had plantar fasciitis previously and one that would stick! That is when she made the decision to focus on herself (for a change) and enrolled in our Spark Healthy Runner Coaching Program. Listen in to hear from Nicole herself on how she got over her foot pain and got her life back running with her local running group and is now enjoying running 6 mile long runs and training for the Fargo Half Marathon.

If you would have told me that I would run 48.6 miles in 4 days and run a half marathon the day before a marathon and in that marathon, I would run a sub 3 hour and 45-minute marathon (coming within 4 minutes of my Marathon PR), I would have told you that you were crazy or in this case Dopey!!
I am grateful for this marathon journey I have been on for the past two years, and it is unbelievable how training cycles build on one another like compound interest!
I have so many lessons to share with you so you can make your next marathon or Dopey challenge a rewarding experience like I did and that is why I am sharing my story with you!
In this episode, I share my deep dive reflection on how I was able to have fun, feel strong, and run a fast marathon letting my fitness and durability show all while stopping for some character stops, waking up at 2:00am for 4 days in a row, and having to deal with some unexpected weather and bus challenges. We at Spark Healthy Runner believe that a well-designed marathon training plan and race day strategy can be the key to unlocking your full potential as a runner.

| 23 Nov 2023 | 203. Hamstring Injury to New York City Marathon Finisher! | 01:13:55 | |
Have you been struggling with a nagging injury that left you depressed, defeated, and you thought you would have to defer the one time you got selected for the race of your dreams? That is what Mary thought when she got selected for the New York City marathon lottery after she suffered a hamstring injury. If you have had upper hamstring pain that has limited the one form of exercise that provides you stress relief from your busy family and work life, then you need to hear Mary’s story. In this episode, Mary details her journey in how she went from being depressed after she made the difficult decision to cancel running the Detroit Free Press marathon a day before the race because her pain was so bad that she could barely walk to finding the exact steps to safely get back to running and crushing her marathon debut in New York! I have had the pleasure to witness Mary’s transformation firsthand as her running physical therapist and coach through our Spark Healthy Runner signature coaching program and Mary (like so many of the clients I am grateful for having the opportunity to work with) is exactly why I am passionate about what I do today. If you are currently battling an injury that has forced you to stop running, it is my hope that this provides you some inspiration and that it is possible to overcome this and get back to doing the thing you love!
I know it is scary…I know you feel defeated…if you are like Mary then you probably already have tried stopping running for a period of time, went to rehab, tried dry needling, heck you may have even hired a run coach…but the pain always seem to come back or you can’t get back to what you were doing before your injury.
These fears and obstacles can be overcome, and Mary is just one of our Spark winners from our Healthy Runner Coaching Program who has accomplished some amazing things with their running and health and these tips will help you if you are struggling with a similar issue.

Happy 3 years to the podcast! If you have been an avid listener…Thank You for your support!
Do you want to learn how to get in those stress relieving miles so you can continue to challenge yourself without having to stop running with an injury?
In this personal deep dive episode, I am going to show you how I went from being a new "adult onset" runner who was constantly getting injured (despite being a sports physical therapist with background in strength & conditioning) to finally overcoming the injury cycle and running multiple races a year in my 40's!
Most importantly, I am now able to consistently lace up my shoes and hit the pavement to enjoy those mental clearing runs (can you relate?) so I can show up better as a husband, father, educator, business owner, and for YOU as a part of our Healthy Runner community!
In this episode, I share a story I have mentioned in bits and pieces but never the full picture and context on how I became a Healthy Runner and why I decided to do what I do today, living my passion educating the running community!

Why does the front of my leg hurt when I run?

This can be common for new runners just starting out or can occur in experienced runners who are really stepping up their training with heavy duty mileage or adding in lots of speedwork.
Brodie Sharpe is a physiotherapist with The Breakthrough Running Clinic and shares the answers to these common questions as well as breaks down the the causes, treatment, recovery, and prevention of shin splints so you can finally get rid of them once and for all!.
These are the questions Brodie addresses during the interview:
1. What are shin splints?
2. What causes shin splints to occur?
3. If I was a runner who had shin splints, should I run through shin pain?
4. How do we fix shin splints? What is the best treatment or how do I get back to running with shin splints?
5. How can we prevent shin pain from coming back?
I hope you enjoy the episode and thank you for listening!

Are you a runner who’s been frustrated in the past that whenever you try to increase your speed or distance you get sharp pain under your heel?
You feel it when you take that first step out of bed in the morning or get up from your desk during work.
Plantar fasciitis can be frustrating for many runners the day after a long run or whenever you want to train for speed.

Whether you are about to embark on training for your first race or you are a seasoned marathoner who has suffered through stubborn heel pain in the past, this episode is for you!

| 14 Jul 2022 | 132. How Francisco went from being stuck as a runner to getting a BQ! | 00:47:17 | |
Francisco started running 3 years ago at age 54 to lower his cholesterol so he didn’t have to take pills. His health improved immediately and he also fell in love with running.
He hit PR’s early and often but then hit a plateau in his running and was even getting slower. Like most new runners he was just running the same miles every day and didn’t know he should be strength training.
He was stuck on improving as a runner and needed some direction.
Listen in to hear this amazing journey of going from being stuck as a runner to getting a boston qualifying time in his first marathon at age 57! Many of you will relate to Francisco’s story in one way or another. Learn how he continues to do some amazing things with his running and life all in his mid 50’s!
Our Healthy Runner coach Lu has been guiding Francisco this past year, providing him structured support and guidance each step of the way!

| 12 Jan 2023 | 158. Rachel Crushes her First Marathon! Client Success Story | 00:58:33 | |
Should you tackle your first marathon this year? Are you worried that you won’t be able to do marathon training without feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or that you will miss family time?
In this episode, Rachel (previous podcast guest from episode 66), shares why a structured but flexible plan that she received made her marathon dreams a reality not only surpassing her goal (sub 3:35:00) but enjoying the training process and the race day experience.
Rachel's determination and consistency along with guidance from coach Lu on our Healthy Runner coaching team, and the support from our Healthy Runner family, allowed her training to “mesh” with all the other aspects of her life.
Completing your first marathon is a huge accomplishment but pairing that with an amazing finish time and feeling strong and healthy even more AMAZING!
I know you will be inspired by Rachel’s journey because I know I am! Enjoy listening and learning some marathon training, race day, nutrition, and mindset tips along the way during this conversation.
