12 Feb 2021🎧 Stop Asking Social Media for Help 🏃 🏃‍♀️00:23:45

In today's episode, coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio addresses the misinformation you will run into online. If you are someone who turns to social media for help with your running injuries, listen up. This episode is for you. 

Why you shouldn't ask for injury advice on social media

We've all seen it. A runner makes a post desperately asking for advice to treat their injury. In response, every man and his dog offers up their two cents on what a runner should take "corrective" action. We've seen everything from advising runners to stretch more, foam rolling your IT band, to getting a particular set of stability sneakers. Spoiler alert, these are all terrible ideas. 

"This advice is a huge contributing factor as to why 80% of runners are injured every year."

The reality is you have at best a 1% chance of having a qualified person responding to your post. This statistic means, 99% of the time, you will be taking advice from someone who doesn't have a clue what they are talking about. The result is you are even more likely to exacerbate your injury or develop new ones. 

 This reality is why posting on social media for advice on running injuries is a big no-no. 

Seriously, avoid all advice from runners?  

At #RunPainFree, we are big advocates of runners supporting fellow runners. Running is a challenging sport that requires a lot of will and determination each time you step out the door. So following runners that motivate and inspire you is excellent. 

Tips like local running routes, discussions on race course specifics, and sharing info on local running clubs and coaches are great ways to use social media to run. 

But when it comes to injuries, give any social media advice a wide berth. That's when injuries happen. No two bodies are the same, so no two training regimes or corrective work is the same. Applying whatever worked for Joe Bloggs, the marathon finisher won't guarantee injury free running for you. 

Direct injured runners to professionals 

Unfortunately, there is a tremendous amount of misinformation on long-distance running online. 

What makes it challenging for us at #RunPainFree to witness is that it is usually shared by fellow runners who have the best intentions in mind. 

"The best thing you can do is refer the question asker to a qualified professional."

You wouldn't go to Facebook for advice if your spleen ruptured. So, treat your physical body the same way you would treat an organ inside yourself.  Get yourself checked by a professional. 

Skip social media and head to runpainfreebootcamp.com

In response to the mountains of spurious advice online, #RunPainFree developed the runpainfreebootcamp.com. It answers all the common questions runners have on injuries and provides you with the nuts and bolts you need to run pain-free. 

The Bootcamp covers what you need to know from the moment you get injured to the moment you line up for your next race. The course is delivered by our seasoned running injury and correction specialist, coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio. 

We have an entire section on advice from Facebook's 'running doctors.' It includes real examples of the nonsense that gets posted online. What can we say? It's an engaging course. The more you learn, the more you laugh. 

Take-home lesson

We want runners to run pain-free. And while we can correct those who come to us, so many runners are injured by applying misinformed advice online to their running regimes. 

We are on a mission to make a dent in the statistic that 80% of runners are injured each year.

That's why we created our Academy. Do yourself a favor and start learning more about what will keep you injury-free. And next time you see Joe Bloggs, the marathon finisher dishing out some wacky advice online, link the person in pain to this podcast

As always, comment, share, and ask questions.  We are here to help.

23 Jan 2021🎧 Menopause Doesn't Have To Stop You! 🏃‍♀️00:32:10
Intro

In this episode, coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio offers sage advice for female runners experiencing hot flashes during menopause. She provides tips to deal with it on the run and condition your body to minimize the symptoms occurring in the first place.  

Hot flashes are a red flag for menopause.

It is usual for women going through menopause to experience hot flashes while running. However, often women don’t know that the hot flash is menopause related. Instead, you may write it off thinking you are out of shape, have low blood sugar, or it is just not your day. But, it is vitally important that you take note. If you are in the menopause age range, a hot flash is a red flag that it may be menopause related. 

#RunPainFree tip! Go to your doctor and get checked ASAP!

Workouts reduce menopause symptoms when running.

All women going through menopause will experience hot flashes and sweating. But for women who run, running may exacerbate these symptoms. The lack of muscular conditioning is often the primary reason why your body can’t handle the heat flash pressure caused during a run. 

In general, many runners skip strength workouts and just run – which is always a bad idea. But for women going through menopause, skipping workouts can exacerbate hot flashes. 

“You need to work out for your sport. The sport isn’t the workout.”

There is a big misconception that if you run every day, you are working out every day. It would be best if you did sport-specific workouts to support your running regularly. And this is even more important for women during menopause. 

Women who work out vs. women who don’t.

Women who don’t do workouts will feel the symptoms of menopause more intensely when running. If you are a woman, who has kids and doesn’t strength train, you will be on the hot flash spectrum. At the same time, women without children who work out will experience minimal hot flashes. The difference is night and day. 

What to do when you experience a hot flash 
  1. Slow down and start walking. But don’t stop – this will shock your body.
  2. Calm your body by taking deep cooling breaths
  3. Sip water, but don’t guzzle. Consider hydrating with coconut water. It has natural electrolytes, twice the potassium of a banana, without the bloating, and natural sodium. In summer, freeze your coconut water, so it is cool on your run. 
  4. Put cold packs on your wrists and behind your ear lobes. This practice will cool your core down quickly. 
  5. If you don’t have ice packs with you, get to a water fountain and run your wrists underwater, and then immediately press behind your ears. Rinse and repeat. 
  6. Get organized and build a system that supports you when a hot flash occurs. Get an elastic pocket belt so you can carry your ice packs and coconut water. Plan your running routes, so you are not too far from home and not too far from water.
Listen to your body.

Sometimes, it just isn’t your day. It is far better to give it rest rather than to push on. Running through pain when your entire body is saying stop is just asking for a bad spell that will last well beyond when your run ends. 

You have to learn to identify the sensation and how to calm your system down. Give your body the cushion it needs to get through that moment. Honor what your body is telling you. That hot flash is your body screaming for you to back off the pace. 

“You need to work with how your body is genetically driven and what you can do to condition it and work with what you’ve got.”

When you condition your body, you will get to a point where hot flashes can be minimal and won’t stop you in your tracks. 

If you need help with specific conditioning exercises to help you keep running during menopause, head to #RunPainFree and book a free consultation. We ask many questions because we can’t fix anything unless we repair everything!

26 Nov 2021🎧 Why Your Shins Hurt After Running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ (And what to do about it)00:33:35

See All The Visuals From Today's Episode here ==> #RunPainFree Injury Recovery Show

Shin splints are common, but that doesn’t mean they’re normal! They’re actually the first warning sign of a hip problem, so don’t ignore them.

Did you know that stability sneakers create shin splints? You could be a full-foot-function runner with good form, but if you’re in a stability sneaker that doesn’t allow for foot mobility, you could begin to develop hip dysfunction…feeling it in your – you guessed it -- shins. The good news is that shin splints fall into the ache/pain category, which means they can be corrected quickly.

Get more technical analysis from Jessica here ==> https://www.RunPainFreeNow.Com/Apply-Now

Jessica gets into the technical weeds in today’s episode, explaining exactly what shin splints are, how they develop, how the foot and hip are involved. Come geek out and learn with us. Jessica’s got supporting visuals too!

Then we have a case study. You’ll love hearing Nancy’s story – about the cute barista who noticed she was losing weight and encouraged her to try running, about her weight loss journey, and about why she continues to run. When Nancy developed debilitating shin splints and struggled to find a lasting solution, she found #RPF. As is typical, Jessica kept Nancy “in sport” while she was in "correction." #RPF uses the sport as part of the correction program.

Long story short – Nany recovered quickly. When she came to Jessica, she wasn’t sure she could run a marathon. She has run six-four within one year!

In today’s episode, you learn…

• Exactly what shin splints are and what causes them

• The technical nitty-gritty behind shin splints

• Jessica’s analysis of a Books stability sneaker setting up a perfect storm for shin splints

• How the lower legs muscles affect the hip

• Why Nike Zoom Fly sneakers, which promote toe striking, can cause shin splints

09 Mar 2021🎧 Simple Hacks To Love ❤️ Running 🏃‍♀️ (With Lisa Jhung)00:31:06

In today's episode, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio speaks with Lisa Jhung about Simple Hacks To Love ❤️  Running 🏃‍♀️ (With Lisa Jhung).

Lisa is a widely published writer in all corners of the running world and is the author of Running That Doesn't Suck: How to Love Running (Even If You Think You Hate It). 

As the title of Lisa's book suggests, she didn't always love running.

She flat out hated it – to the point that she was hiding from her high-jump coach to avoid running two laps around the track during warm-up.

After being forced into running to make the college volleyball team, what began as begrudging runs turned into a daily activity she positively anticipated.

Lisa's offers some sage advice with a dose of dry wit that will guide new runners and advanced runners alike to find joy in the simple act of running. 

Focus on the journey, not the destination 

Ultimately, there is no one-size-fits-all. Play around with different approaches to running and find what works for you. 

TIMESTAMPS:

01:00 – Intro and Lisa's biography

02:02 – Lisa's running story

04:22 – Importance of identifying the reason why you run

06:22 – Advice for beginner runners

16:30 – The runner's high

19:31 – The pros and cons of joining a run group

24:17 – How to get past the initial soreness as a beginner runner 

KEY LEARNING POINTS
  1. Be patient with your progress and run where you are on any given day
  2. Focus on the process, not the end goal
  3. Remember that the initial soreness beginner's experience dissipates over time
  4. The runner's high kicks in around the 30-minute mark of steady-state running

14 Feb 2021🎧 Are You Running With A Healthy ❤️ Heart? 🏃‍♀️00:28:18

 In today's podcast, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio interviews cardiologist Dr. Rachel Bond.

Get an Assessment With Jessica: https://www.runpainfreenow.com.

We discuss what runners need to know should they face a heart problem when running. Dr. Bond breaks down the different types of heart problems and discusses the underlying risk factors.

So pay attention, this one is a lifesaver! 

Heart attack

The technical term for a heart attack is a myocardial infarction. It occurs where the heart has a build-up of plaque. To keep it simple, plaque is the build of cholesterol in the artery. Eventually, the plaque can become unstable and rupture. This occurrence leads to the body creating new cells that go to that area to protect that plaque. As a result, it closes off blood flow to an area of the heart. 

Bottom line: A heart attack is an emergency. Call 911, get to the hospital ASAP, so you are provided medical care. 

Cardiac arrest

80% of the time, a cardiac arrest occurs because your heart completely stops. 20% of the time, a cardiac arrest is brought on by breathing difficulties—for example, a drowning swimmer or someone who has ingested intoxicants.

Bottom line: A cardiac arrest means you don't have a pulse. That's an emergency. If you notice a runner that has collapsed on the run, check their pulse immediately and call 911. If you have appropriate training, do chest compressions until the ambulance arrives. 

Sudden death 

Sudden death is a form of cardiac arrest that occurs when the person doesn't have any risk factors for underlying heart disease.

Bottom line:

  1. Call 911.

  2. If trained, start CPR immediately.

  3. Find and source an automatic external defibrillator.

If you have any of these symptoms, do a stress test.

Stress tests are given to people when there is a suspicion that they have underlying heart disease. Symptoms of underlying conditions may include someone who experiences chest discomfort and difficulty breathing when exerting themselves. However, often medical professionals don't know women's specific heart attack symptoms. 

"For women a heart attack may have symptoms of fatigue, dizziness, or a racing heart." 

 A stress test should also be performed for people with a family history of early heart disease.  

Heart attacks kill more women than all cancers combined. Here's what you need to know 

You may think breast cancer is the most significant risk for women; however, the sad news is that it is a heart attack. While cardiovascular disease doesn't have one screening tool such as the mammogram, 80% of the time, heart disease is driven by risk factors. 

What are the risk factors? 

·     Elevated blood pressure

·     Issues with cholesterol 

·     Excess weight and obesity

·     Inactivity – less than 150 minutes per week of moderate exercise

·     Smoking

·     Alcohol

Women-specific risk factors

Women-specific risk factors often have to do with hormonal changes that occur during pregnancy. Suppose a woman experienced a complication during pregnancy such as high blood pressure, pre-term labor (before 37 weeks), or preeclampsia. In that case, they have a higher risk for heart disease. 

Bottom line: If you have any of these risk factors, without question, you need to be evaluated by a doctor and possibly a cardiologist.

Heart attack symptoms: the difference between men and women

In most cases, women present very similar symptoms to men when experiencing a heart attack. 

"A heart attack feels like an elephant is sitting on your chest. This is a classic phrase we hear in the cardiology world."

However, a third of women may not experience any chest pain. Instead, they may experience neck, back, or jaw pain. Additionally, women may experience dizziness episodes; they may break out in a sweat or feel nauseous. 

The red flag for women is fatigue. If you are doing everything right: taking your vitamins, eating healthy, sleeping well, but your body still feels tired, it could be related to heart disease. 

Bottom line: If you are doing everything right but feeling burnt out and lethargic, go to your doctor and get checked out. 

Training the heart 

Just like your legs, your heart is a muscle, and it needs to be trained. The longer you run, or the more significant the intensity, the harder your heart has to work. When you run, you don't just increase your heart rate but also your blood pressure. This increased blood pressure also increases the workload on your heart as it moves blood around your body. 

Bottom line: You need to train your heart with low aerobic activity levels over an extended period. If you don't have a solid aerobic base or 'lifetime miles,' before signing up for your first half marathon, consult your doctor. 

Take-home lesson: Why minorities have a higher risk of heart disease.

The past 12 months has elevated the American consciousness that people of color experience systemic racism.

Unfortunately, the medical field is not immune to this either. As Dr. Bond notes, African Americans coming to the hospital are less likely to get the appropriate amount of pain medication nor receive proper cardiovascular care.

"Racism is a huge risk factor for cardiovascular disease. It's a public health crisis. It's something that we as a society absolutely have to work on.

Racism impacts the multitude of social determinants of health. It causes inequity in health outcomes. Where you were raised, your education, your ability to access healthy supermarkets, the type of work you do all play a role in your heart's health. 

Bottom line: Continue to educate yourself so you can advocate for the care you need when you need it.  

TIMESTAMPS

1:42 – Dr. Rachel Bond introduction and biography (which is fantastic, BTW)

6:20 – Heart attack

7:12 – Cardiac arrest

8:46 – Sudden death 

10:13 – Stress tests

13:13 ­– Heart attacks kill more women than all cancers combined

17:22 – Different heart attack symptoms between men and women

20:44 – Training the heart

22:28­ – Why minorities are at a higher risk of heart attack

KEY LEARNING POINTS

·     Your heart is a muscle, and it needs to be trained and conditioned for long-distance running

·     If you are new to running, get a checkup with your doctor before signing up for your first half marathon or marathon

·     Heart attacks kill more women than all cancers combined

·     If you have any heart disease risk factors, get a checkup with a doctor or cardiologist

·     If a runner collapses on a run, call 911. Start CPR if you are trained to do so, or find someone who is.

08 Jan 2021🎧 How Can Runners Deal with Post-Covid Respiratory Complications 🏃‍♀️00:26:31
In today’s episode of #RunPainFree, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio discusses how Covid infection affects athletes and runners with healthy and well-developed lungs. She also shares how you can safely return to running and get back on track after dealing with respiratory complications. Running Post Covid

Getting back to running after suffering from a Covid infection can be more challenging than you think. Running is an endurance sport that is demanding and requires high levels of stamina and endurance, as well as a healthy and correct rhythm between the way your heart and lungs operate. In other words, if either the heart or the lungs fall out of this well-balanced rhythm, you are going to experience many difficulties when trying to run longer distances. The disruption of this rhythm is inevitable when dealing with a Covid infection because this is a high respiratory virus that primarily attacks your lungs. Thus, even well-trained runners and professional athletes will feel extreme fatigue and exhaustion due to this virus infection.

“If you’re not somebody who’s ever dealt with anything lung-wise or breathing-wise, you’re gonna be struck by the results or fallout from having this type of respiratory tax on your body.”

Take Your Time

The most important thing when it comes to running after Covid is to take your time. Many athletes who experience a Covid infection think that they are ready to get back on track as soon as they feel better. However, getting straight back to running is a mistake that can lead to injury, demotivation, and even more respiratory complications or relapse (which is happening to many). The reason is simple - your body won’t be ready to take up running right away. Your lungs will be so exhausted after dealing with the infection that even the simplest tasks might get you tired too soon, let alone something as demanding as running. Remember, your lungs have to work very hard to get the virus out of your system, and this battle will leave them exhausted for weeks to come. Instead of having high expectations when getting back on terrain, start by introducing light activities to retrain your lungs before running again.  

“You have to honor how much your body went through to fight it, and it’s not gonna be over in a week; that’s unrealistic.” 

Get Back on Track

Thinking you’re going to get back running right after testing negative after day 10 of having it passes, is unrealistic. This respiratory virus takes a severe toll on your lungs and significantly impacts your ability to run continuously. However, this doesn’t mean you cannot get back to the level you were at or even exceed your previous skills. As long as you don’t push your body to start running right away, you will be able to gradually train your heart and lungs and build up the necessary endurance. To do so, you should begin to slow and introduce one physical activity per day. Keep track of your heart rate when resting and engaging in physical activities to ensure there are no irregularities. It might take two to three weeks of consistent light training before you can hit the road again. As long as you understand how your new set of lungs works, you will be able to build back your endurance.

“This is just another way to get your body better. It’s just gonna put you on another level of understanding how your body operates, understanding what your body can and can’t do, honoring that and working with that.”

Key Learning Points:
  • Healthy athletes with well-developed lungs can suffer even graver respiratory consequences after a Covid infection.

  • It is essential to honor the time your body needs to recover instead of pushing your limits.

  • Make sure to start slow - practice one light activity per day before getting back to running.

Stay on your toes, they say, do the pose method says one camp, keep your elbows locked in says another. You've all heard it, yet you're all injured. So Coach Jessica sets the record straight before dropping the mic and walking off the podcast. Yes, this run form nonsense grinds her gears.

Thinking about how you run will not improve your running form. Your body is only going to move with its ability to do so. 

"The minute you think with your brain, that you can actually tell your body how to move, you already have an injury."

If you don't have a functional movement pattern, if you lack function somewhere and you're overcompensating somewhere else, you're going to have a problem. And your brain has nothing to say about it.

  TIMESTAMPS 01:00 – Distance running is a sport  03:26 – Your back story matters 06:43 – Running is a basic human movement 08:43 – Don't overthink it, just run 15-22 – Is your Run Coach specialized in long-distance running?  19:13 – The importance of entire foot function 28:59 – A note on 'over-striding.'

KEY LEARNING POINTS · Your body knows how to run, so don't get your mind involved · Stability sneakers will wreck your run form by locking you up from your ankle to your hip · Run coaches that get you to do speed works and butt kicks are trained in track and field, not long-distance running. Avoid them and find an actual long-distance run coach.

17 Jun 2021🎧 Blame Your Pain On Your Generic Run Program: Program Design For Runners With Injuries00:32:31

Welcome to the #RunPainFree podcast.

Today, Coach Jessica Marie Rose is talking about all things programming. She discusses: Why tailored programs are crucial, Why catch-all programs are a recipe for disaster, The dangers of hack coaches, amongst other topics.

Listen up, runners, Coach Jessica in fine form, telling it like it is

Long-distance isn't a walk in the park.

Long-distance running is demanding. Are you crazy enough to question that? Yeah, you are asking it, aren't you? Ok, get off your phone and knock out a marathon for us and get on with your day. Tell us how that goes.

You've got no chance in hell doing anything long distance if you haven't trained and conditioned your body for it. Oh, right. You are a born-again, born-to-run runner. Ok then. Lace up your cute little shoes, or go barefoot even. Make sure your color combination matches whatever season you are in, and you have your pre-prepared inspirational message for social media. 

Do you seriously think a couple of Instagram posts and Strava kudos points are going to protect you from injury? Please, just a little history lesson, the first marathon runner, that guy who ran from Marathon to Athens, Pheidippides, literally, and we mean literally, died. That's why the race ends at 26.2. 

Ok, you get the point on with the show.

09 Feb 2021🎧 Mental Training With A Sports Psychologist 🏃 🏃‍♀️00:19:57

In today's episode, coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio talks with sports psychologist Dr. Jim Taylor on the importance of adding mental training into your running regime. Dr. Jim Taylor offers a wealth of knowledge on a vital overlooked side of running. Be warned; this podcast dives deep into your subconscious fears. 

Are you mental enough for running? 

All runners know that running is as much a mental sport as it is physical. Your mindset supports your motivation for the countless hours of training and translating that work on race day. Yet, despite its importance, most runners don't consider training their minds. 

You may be a runner that does 'mental stuff.' This realization could be visualizations or the positive affirmations that keep you going when your run. These things help motivate you to get out the door each day, stay positive, manage pain, focus, and reduce pre-competition anxiety. But there is a massive difference between doing 'mental stuff' and mental training. 

When to start mental training as a runner

 Like injured runners seeking out a physiotherapist once their bodies blow out, athletes typically seek a sports psychologist once they have a problem. However, you want to approach mental training in the same way as physical conditioning for running. Mental training should be comprehensive, structured, and consistent. That's what a running program does, and that's what your mental training should look like. 

Are you running from or towards something? 

Runners are generally running from something or running towards something. Running towards goals help people thrive and grow. Whereas running from something entails fear and doubt. Unfortunately, many runners are running from something. 

While it is often not discussed, an underlying reason people run in the first place is to run away from failure. Paradoxically, one way people avoid disappointment is not to have to run. 

"The excuse of an injury often comes from an unconscious desire to protect yourself from failure."

People may use the injury to protect themselves from admitting that they may not meet their goals. While it may not be a conscious decision, this self-defeating behavior often leads runners to injury. 

Overtraining is often a clear sign of this fear of failure. Overtraining gives the athlete an excuse when they don't perform well, and in doing so, protects their self-esteem. Not being able to perform on race day due to an epic training regime may seem heroic. Still, it doesn't reflect a successful and fulfilled runner. 

Aim for prime performance, not peak performance.

Peak performance is a phrase runners throw around like confetti at a wedding. You hear it in the business world, you listen to it in education, and listen to it endlessly in the running industry. Yet no one questions this term, except Dr. Jim Taylor. As he notes, peak performance is not a great way to frame your approach to running. Long-distance running requires consistency, not a tremendous one-off performance. 

"When you get to the peak, there is only one way to go and that's down. No one likes to have a day when the wheels fall, whether it is a training day or a race."

Whereas prime performance is about performing consistently well under the most challenging conditions. What makes great runners great is not that they can occasionally perform. It's that they can always perform in challenging situations. 

It's easy to run well on a flat course when it's 50 degrees and sunny. Yet, how often do we race under those conditions? Rain, snow, extreme temperatures and headwinds often get in the way of these ideal race conditions. 

"If you perceive adverse conditions as a threat, it's not going to be a good race. But if you can go into the race and say, I trained in these conditions, I'll make some adjustments, bring it on, it becomes a very different experience."

So next time you are hesitating to lace up for your run on a rainy winter's day, take it like a stoic and consider it a crucial component of your training. Each run in unfavorable conditions trains your mind for prime performance whatever the weather brings on race day. 

How to stay positive in the long run

A runner's identity embodies more than exclusively running. It is essential to create balance in your life and have other things. 

"When you get out of that dark place and run towards the light it is a much more enjoyable experience that is so much more fulfilling and rewarding."

There are many tactics runners can use to achieve a positive mindset. You can get into counseling and therapy, but often embracing other aspects of your life will help. Insight, self-growth, and just only letting go of the junk that we collect as we grow up is a journey we are all on. 

Take away lesson

Runners need to re-orientate their gaze on what success looks like. Fear is in one direction, success the other. So many people use an injury to avoid failure. Instead, runners should ask themselves what success looks like.  

"Be realistic, we don't always achieve our goals in running. But that misses the point of running. It's the process, it's the journey. It's the joy of the experience."

Every runner will experience a time when life threw a wrench into their work towards a goal or race event. Rather than lament what could have been, it would be best if you focused on working with what you've got in any given circumstance. Suppose you made it across the finish line, fantastic. If you did not finish, you listened to your body – and that's a win in the #RunPainFree book.

17 Feb 2021🎧 NYRR’s Founding President: Black American Distance Running 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 History00:28:21
Celebrating the life and legacy of Ted Corbitt

In today's episode, Coach Jessica Marie Rose speaks with running historian Gary Corbitt. Gary is the son of long-distance running legend Ted Corbitt. Gary provides a wealth of information on the impact his father's career had on the running world and physical therapy, and the civil rights movement. 

Ted Corbitt: Running ahead of his time

For those who missed the memo and lived under a rock, Ted Corbitt is considered the father of long-distance running in The United States. Ted Corbitt held US distance records for 25 miles during his running career, the marathon, 40 miles, 50 miles, and 100 miles. Not only was he the first African American to represent the USA at the Olympics, but he also was a trailblazer in the disciple of ultra-running. Renowned for running over 200 miles a week, he ran an estimated 200,000 miles in his lifetime. 

Corbitt's extensive running accolades awards: https://tedcorbitt.com/ted-corbitt-record/ Influence on Running Clubs and the civil rights movement

Ted Corbitt joined the New York Pioneer Club in 1947. The New York Pioneers Club, founded in 1936 in Harlem, became the first all African American club. The Pioneer Club used running to promote education, civic values, and better race relations. To this end, in 1942, the club began to welcome all races, resulting in the first large-scale integrated sports club in the US. 

'He would give lectures before workouts and used athletics to build people of character. It's not just a running story; it's a civil rights story."

Ted Corbitt co-founded the New York Road Runners Club in 1958 and served as the club's first president. Ted Corbitt's legacy as a founding president led the New York Road Runners to develop its inclusion agenda. An agenda that embraces and encourages all runners no matter race, speed, or creed. 

From its humble beginnings, the club now has a membership of over 60,000 runners and serves 695,000 runners annually. Additionally, the New York Road Runners continue to focus on empowering young people through sport and has raised over $350 million for charities since 2006. 

Ted Corbitt was involved in the planning of The New York City Marathon, which has become the club's flagship event and is renowned for its inclusive approach. It's safe to say, Corbitt's vision set long-distance running on a trajectory of inclusion that impacted the formation of rights-based run clubs around the country. 

For the history buffs: The New York Road Runners are currently celebrating Black History Month and are compiling historical resources on Ted Corbitt and other black pioneers'. For those who prefer videos, here is a New York Road Runners tribute video

Innovating physical therapy methods for long-distance runners

Many runners may not be aware of the impact that Ted Corbitt had on physical therapy for long-distance running. After serving in the army in WWII, Corbitt studied physical therapy at New York University, becoming one of the first African Americans to enter the profession. 

Ted Corbitt traveled the world to learn from leaders in their respective disciplines to develop his holistic physical therapy approach. Consequently, he was one of the first physical therapists to study, teach and practice connected tissue massage, deep muscle therapy, Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation (PNF) progressive resistance exercises, and applied kinesiology. 

'I could easily make the argument that his contributions in physical therapy far exceed his running career. He was light years ahead of the field in terms of using weight training for runners'

He took a scholarly approach to physical therapy, a profession that he practiced for over 40 years. He taught and trained generations of physical therapists, which has profoundly innovated practices that continue to support runners to run injury free today.

10 Jul 2020Keto Explored Especially For Runners00:35:20

The rise of Fad Diets has resulted in years of manipulation and making people believe that they will achieve their goals, become stronger or they will look a certain way if they follow such dangerous eating habits. #RunPainFreeAcademy believes in spreading information and knowledge for the people, and the athletes.  Furthermore, the #RunPainFree program educates and gives knowledge on how to approach, operate, and function your body differently.

Today Sports, Bio-mechanic, Athletics, Corrective, and Conditioning Expert, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio, talks about the dangers of the keto diet.

The Atkins Diet

Dr. Atkins is a famous doctor in the 70s and he believes in “High Fat to complete Extremes.” He is the creator of the Atkins Diet, which became the South Beach Diet, and now popularly known as Keto Diet. At that time, Dr. Ornish, a plant-based person, debated against Dr. Atkins for the dangerous effect of high fat in the body. 

“This was a big issue back in the day. The reason I'm putting emphasis on this is that it is not brand new. This is not new. This is not some new findings. This is not a new medicine. This is not new nutrition. No, there’s nothing new about it. There's nothing brand new about it whatsoever. It is, however, known to be a moneymaker. The doctor himself was criticized for being somebody who just wanted to make money.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Using Fat for Energy

The simple answer is, you don’t. The body needs glycogen which is found in a consistent diet with nutrient-dense, complex carbohydrates. Having no energy or glycogen makes your body break down your system since it’s creating something from nothing to produce glucose and have brain fuel.

“When you don't have the actual source of energy anymore, Glycogen, you have to start using other systems that are not efficient or appropriated for that. Your body tries to use it and gets over it quickly.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Kidney Function

Since the body does not use high fat for energy, it starts to break down systems that cause dysfunction of your organs such as the kidney and heart. Furthermore, if this becomes a  daily routine, it will condition the body on what to process or not. For example, if one stops the body from processing sugar, this condition will cause high blood sugar that leads to kidney function issues.

“When you're making your body use a system that is only to be happening in survival mode, your body goes into ketosis as a survival mode. It's when it starts to protect the nervous system, it starts to protect your organs. When you're challenging that, it'll challenge you right back and it'll do everything it can to not go into that survival mode unless it needs it. You're starting to mess with how your kidneys function. When your kidneys start to dysfunction, we talk about kidney stones, and ketones in your urine and these are all things you don't want.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Other Side Effects

Keto diet can lead to health problems that are irreversible such as kidney issues, type two diabetes, heart problems, etc. Most people that go through this diet, especially gym rats and fitness buffs,  immediately feel the shift in their body and realize that it’s not working for them. Not only is it not working, but it’s harmful and very dangerous.

 “This is the most dangerous diet I have ever encountered, come across, studied, or dealt with ever. This is because it's dealing with processes, organ processes, that you have no business trying to mess with.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio 

Proper Diet and Information

Most people that go into Keto diet and other diet fads are enticed by looking a certain way or not knowing enough information about how it affects the body. Before going to extremes, people who are interested need to learn all the information and how it will affect the body. 

“All of that information changes how you look at your options, and how you look at every option when it comes to food thereafter. I promise you that, and that's how I've approached my nutrition plan and my nutrition program for over 20 years with everybody I've ever done it with. I give you the information. Do with it what you want. I want food to work for you. Food’s job is to work for you.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

In this episode, Jessica discusses the Know-it-All runners and that know nothing. 🙊 So if you want to understand the person who is always ready to debate as to if they have it all figured out, know how to not believe false presentations-gratification-feelings-emotions, and learn the "jack of all trades" who is based on visual... not years of experience so you can How to pinpoint The "know-it-all" who lacks experience, training, and education, tune in now!

 

In this episode, you'll discover:

Episode Title: "The Running "Know-It-All"

* *Attention seeking social media generation

* *Low Entry Online certifications (Easy to get with no vetting process)

* *No prerequisites certifications (anyone can do it in 24-48 hours)

* *Fake certifications (No national certifying board)

* *No experience (working professional on Monday, fitness expert on Wednesday)

* *NO certifications or credentials BUT a lot of followers (Sponsored as an ambassador but no functional running education).

Are you following the misinformation from the "loudmouth" on social media (aka, the one with the most likes in your news feed) who is actually NOT educated, NOT experienced, NOR an expert? 

They are just the loudest in your news feed. And following what they say can hurt you or lead to a serious run injury. This lends to 80% of injured runners. Too many listen to peers and amateur-professionals that are not educated in injuries. It's ACTUALLY very serious and NOT everyone can do it.

23 Mar 2021🎧 Ugh! Why Do I Have Knee Pain After Running 🏃 🏃‍♀️00:23:27

Before we start the show, if you want to know "How To Run Pain Free and Recover From A Run Injury Without Having To Stop Running (Even If You Have No Clue Where To Start!)" this Free Webinar, Presented By Jessica Marie Rose Leggio, makes it quick and easy! You can check it out here: https://www.RunPainFreeNow.com/Free-Training

Today, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio chats with Little Billy about one of the most common problems runners face – knee pain after running. If you've just rolled in from a run, get yourself a glass of water, your foam roller, and listen up. Coach Jessica is going to tell you straight. 

Hey Coach, I have knee pain after running. 

Oh, Little Billy, so much to learn. 

The first thing you need to realize is that knee pain is not an injury. Your knees are fine. The pain has nothing to do with your knees. 

Takeaway lesson. 

Knee pain after running is the first red flag you'll ever get with running. Your first point of action should be to start foam rolling pre and post-run. If you're foam rolling and not feeling better afterward, contact us for an online consultation. They're complimentary. We can figure out exactly what's going on with your body, and we will teach you how to foam roll properly. If foam rolling doesn't solve your knee pain, it is a sign that you have a bigger problem at your hips.

TIMESTAMPS

01:18 – Intro

02:27 – Why you should avoid knee braces

5:08 – So what's the root cause? Let me guess, my hips? 

08:40 – So, Why do I only have knee pain after running?

10:50 – Am I dysfunctional? 

17:41 – But all the runners I know have some pain from running?

20:15 – How do I figure out what's going on?

21:50 – Takeaway lesson 

KEY LEARNING POINTS

–     The root cause of your knee pain is hip dysfunction

–     Start foam rolling pre and post-run to generate blood flow

–     Avoid braces, bandages, and stability shoes

–     Start introducing conditioning exercises for your hips

04 Mar 2021🎧 Here‘s Why Workouts 🏋️‍♀️ And Running 🏃‍♀️ Are Not The Same Things.00:39:24

In today's episode, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio aims at a rampant misconception in the running world.

But first, if you're disappointed by the fact that pain has stopped you for months from the activities you enjoy the most, then this Free Webinar, Presented By Jessica Marie Rose Leggio, is the perfect solution to your problem! Grab it here: https://www.RunPainFreeNow.com/Free-Training

Despite what you may have heard on your group run, running more miles isn't going to make you a Boston qualifier.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but #RunPainFree ain't a religion; it's a science – and there is so much more to consider. 

I run all the time but "tank" on race day. 

When you're running seven days a week, you are running yourself out.

If you just had an epiphany of how your injury came on straight after you did your highest mileage week – boom! There you go, there's your proof! You need to build an objective baseline and foundation before you start chasing lofting race goals. 

Take away lesson

Simply logging miles will only get you so far before an injury flare-up. Reassess how you're working out. Are you doing functional training? Are you training for your sport? Or are you just using your sport as the workout? 

  • Hit up our back catalog of podcasts and apply the lessons on conditioning for running 
  • Ditch your stability sneakers
  • Sign up for free for the #RunPainFree Bootcamp and learn the fundamentals of running
  • Get bespoke guidance at the #RunPainFree Academy

Bottom line: If running is what you love to do, respect the sport and start doing the conditioning workouts!

TIMESTAMPS

1:35 The difference between a workout and the sport

6:16 What to look for in a qualified trainer

12:05 Why just clocking miles is the highway to injury

26:53 Why you tank on race day. 

30:05 Takeaway lesson

KEY LEARNING POINTS
  1. Using running as your workout increases your chance of injury as you haven't built your foundation for functional movement
  2. Start adding athletic conditioning into your training regime 
  3. Introduce mobility exercises, mainly focusing on your hips if you are an office worker

18 Jun 2020Especially for Runners Who Carb-Load or Crave Carbs00:29:31
Carbohydrates

 Are You Contemplating Carb-loading? Do You Crave Carbs? We are sure you’ve heard about it or may have done this in the past in preparation for a marathon. But how well do you know your carbs? To hear more about Coach Jessica and carbohydrates, listen to this episode.

 

#RunPainFree Academy sports biomechanics, athletic, corrective, and conditioning expert, Jessica Marie Rose Leggio gives us an insight into what carbohydrates is, what it does to your body, and which are the right types of carbs you should eat especially as a runner.

Ton of Misinformation

In this episode, Coach Jessica talks about a lot of misinformation about carbohydrates. In essence, carbohydrates are present in fruits, vegetables, and starch. Some WeightWatchers opt for an abundance of fruit, thinking it will have minimal effects on their weight.

“When you have an over portion of the fruit, it's all turned into sugar. The body will only take what it needs. Then it either gets rid of what it doesn't need or it stores it. If you don't have a good processing system, you're going to store it as sugar which becomes fat.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Simple and Complex Sugars

Carbohydrates are 100% needed in our bodies. The issue lies between thinking that Twinkies and Captain Crunch and rice are equal to sweet potatoes, string beans, and strawberries because they're not. Simple sugars are broken down the minute they are ingested, unlike complex sugars.

Coach Jessica explains when we ingest food, insulin is released from the pancreas, which burns through simple sugars in seconds. Since you have a surge in insulin, without nothing else to burn, your body makes you crave more sugars.

The Downside of this Cycle

The whole cycle of crash-high-crash-high-crash happens all day long, it makes your internal organs tired, specifically your pancreas and kidneys. When you start to have a problem processing sugar, your blood sugar becomes unstable and you eventually borderline type two diabetes.

“Maybe one day I'll do the difference between a type one diabetic and a type two diabetic because they are totally different. Type two diabetics, you have complete control of fixing. You can literally fix this with eating and exercise. If you don't, you're going to be put on pills. If you don't do with the pills, you're going to need insulin, period. You're going to continue to grow but you absolutely have control over it.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

The Need For Complex Sugars

Coach Jessica stresses the importance of complex sugars in fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits, such as oranges, pineapples, and grapes, have the highest content of sugar of all fruits. She advises that these fruits be taken early in the morning to allow your body to burn and use the energy throughout the day.

“Everything has a level with it. Here's the reason why everybody gets confused is that there are so many carbohydrates. If people get misled on what is or isn't a carb and overindulge and what they think isn't and it actually is, and that creates a problem.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Carb-loading

Carbohydrates play an important role in your body because it is what delivers glycogen to your muscles, which is used for energy. Coach Jessica clarifies more misinformation about carb-loading for runners, such as it’s not supposed to only be done just a day before you run a marathon.

“I do not know where you think you are running with no carbohydrates. You will be gassed and tanked at mile 14 for a full marathon. You will be locked up with lactic acid with straight legs that can't move because your body was tapping into other processes because it ran out of ATP on its own. Ran out of the glycogen, has no more energy, which is carbohydrates. Guys, carbohydrates are your energy source. It is the energy fuel for your brain, not for nothing.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

25 Feb 2021🎧 How To Run 🏃‍♀️🏃 With Strollers00:22:19

In today's episode, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio talks you through what you need to know so you can get out running with your kids in the stroller.

Get an Assessment With Jessica: https://www.runpainfreenow.com.

This topic comes from one of our team members who wanted to get Jessica's 411 on the subject.

We know many mommas and poppas are finding it hard to find time currently, so this one is for you! 

Should I run with a stroller? 

As always, there are a few things you will need to consider to stay injury-free.  

#1 thing to look for in a jogging stroller.

# RunPainFree's common sense PSA: if you are on cobblestone streets, on a jacked-up road, or going down a hill – use your gorilla grip on the stroller! 

Take away lesson

Running with a stroller is an exceptional tool for parents. You'll find you have more opportunities in the day to run, and your kids will love it. If you've been thinking about running with a stroller, make sure you run behind it with an open gate. Keep both hands on the stroller, but play with tapping it in front of you. Other than that, get out there and enjoy running with your kids!

Practical tips 

· Initially start slow, small, and close to home 

· In cool weather, pack something warm for yourself for the unplanned stops

· Don't forget to pack extra food for your kids

TIMESTAMPS

1:00 ­– Should you run with a stroller?

2:01 – What to look for in a running stroller

5:34 – Running one-handed 

7:25 ­ – Switching hands ­

9:29 – The role of proprioceptors

10:24 – Strength problems 

16:24 ­­– You still need to swing your arms

KEY LEARNING POINTS

· Make sure you can open up your stride with your stroller

· Don't hold on with one hand

· Try out different stroller models and find one that works for you 

· Plan your routes to avoid traffic and uneven pavement. Parks are ideal.

25 Mar 2021🎧 The Science of Good Rest 😴 and Recovery (with Nick Littlehales)00:33:58

Welcome to the #RunPainFree Podcast! In today's episode, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio speaks with leading elite sport sleep coach Nick Littlehales. It sounds like a unique professional title, well, that's because he invented it! 

Nick's career spans over 20 years. He has been a true innovator in bridging the divide between sleep science and creating actionable steps that athletes can implement to improve their rest and recovery. He is also the author of the international bestselling book "Sleep: The Myth of 8 hours, the Power of Naps, and the New Plan to Recharge Your Body and Mind."

In this episode, he shares his knowledge and techniques underpinning his R90 Technique to increase your rest and performance. If you have been basing your recovery on the adage of getting eight hours every night, this episode is going to give you something to sleep on. 

Step 1: Circadian rhythms 

The first thing you need to do to improve your sleep is developing your understanding of circadian rhythms. Circadian rhythms are physical, mental, and behavioral changes that follow a 24-hour cycle. Like animals and plants, we humans (yes, it turns out we are animals after all!) also respond to changes in daylight. 

Our melatonin increases in darkness and is suppressed in daylight, whereas serotonin rises during the daytime. Melatonin is most known for its role as a sleep hormone, and serotonin is the "feel good" hormone. 

So, in the world of COVID lockdowns, make sure you get outdoors every day; it will do more for you than slamming another coffee. In the evening, getting off your phone and computer and avoiding blue light will help you sleep.  

Take away lesson.

Sleep should be considered an intrinsic part of the way you approach running. Running is intensive, and as you ramp up miles, you also need to ramp up your recovery. Performance gains won't just occur as a result of pushing harder during your training. A massive chunk of your performance relates to the way you approach to sleep and recovery. Particularly for our marathoners, if you have done a long run on the weekend, factor in having a nap afterward; you've earned it.

04 Jun 2020The Perils of Intermittent Fasting for Runners00:49:27

#RunPainFree Academy’s athletic conditioning and corrective expert, Coach Jessica dives into another most-talked-about topic in the weight loss scene — intermittent fasting. Coming from a nutrition and expert background on fueling athletes, she talks about why intermittent fasting is such a bad idea.

To hear more from Coach Jessica about intermittent fasting, listen to this episode.

She gives information on how our body is built to differentiate “famine mode” from “feast mode” and why it matters. She also talks about what happens inside the body when you starve yourself and what are the serious implications to your kidney and liver.

Coach Jessica gives a detailed account of what you should know first before submitting yourself to this trending diet fad.

The Three-Hour Rule

If you are an avid follower of Coach Jessica or a member of the Academy, you might have heard her talk about how your body only gives you three hours, before it goes into starvation mode. The term starvation mode means your body starts to feast on muscles. Your body eats out muscles in order to function, not from fat because the body needs fat to live, and not muscles.

“Fat is there to make sure that you're surviving and you always have something as a reserve. I'm going to first talk about what starvation mode actually is. I am going to get as in-depth as I possibly can without being too scientific.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Starvation Mode

Starvation mode technically is not a term. It's what is commonly used in the fitness industry or health industry as a famine response. Starvation mode is also known as famine mode, starvation, resistance, starvation, tolerance, adapted, starvation, adaptive thermogenesis, fat adaptation, or metabolic adaptation.

“Many, many moons ago — and there's tons of information about this — when there was feast or famine, there was a time when they do not know when they were going to eat again and they would hunt. They would get an eat as much food as possible. It created a storing system, where our bodies went into ‘survival mode’ and would store all of this food.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Our Bodies Hoard Food

Our bodies were trained hundreds of years ago to “hoard” food because they did not know when they will be able to hunt and eat again. This hasn't changed that much because that is how our bodies operate.

“Food equates to activity. Food is energy for activity. That's why I always say, ‘look at the food, are you going to use it or not? If you're not going to use it, don't eat it.’” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Why IF Is Bad for Runners

Coach Jessica gave a blow by blow discussion on what happens to your body when you fast. Since you are not ingesting anything, your body goes to your muscles for glycogen.

When you lose muscle, you lose the ability to burn fat, because muscle is how you burn fat. There is a triple-negative to this as lastly when you finally decide to eat, your body is in survival mode.

“So all the ideas of carb loading and eating all these carbs while you're running and doing your long runs, the reason for that is so you can ‘store glycogen in your muscles’ because you need it to run for a long period of time.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

More Bad News

Coach Jessica has read a lot of medical journals and has experienced numerous trials for herself on weight loss, building muscles, and creating a body prime for athletic running. She professes how you can achieve this without resorting to intermittent fasting.

She further discusses bodily functions, specifically post-digestive functions, on what happens to your kidneys when you fast.

“There's a reason why we need to eat, what we need to eat, how we need to eat and why we get to go so long without it. Our bodies are amazing, but everybody has a breaking point and the body has a breaking point as well.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

11 Jun 2020ATP: Why You Run Out of Energy as a Runner00:33:38

In the previous episode about Intermittent Fasting, our resident sports biomechanics, athletic, corrective and conditioning expert, Jessica Marie Rose Leggio, touched on the importance of ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate.

In this episode, Coach Jessica dives into what ATP is, its importance to the human body, and why runners need to pay attention to it to achieve great results and better performance.

What is ATP

ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate is considered a molecular currency. Basically, it is the energy currency of the body. It enables the cells to have the energy to go back and forth. It is really important that we have ATP because it is what dictates our energy.

“In order for us to have this happen, there needs to be a neural stimulus. So the muscle has to get stimulated. To move neurologically, there has to be some kind of signal. Then there needs to be calcium in your muscles. So you have to have a storage of calcium in your muscles, and ATP must be available for energy also in your muscles. All those things have to happen. When you don't have any of those things, you can't produce ATP. We have ATP naturally on our own, but only a very little and there's a certain way to create it.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Ways to Produce ATP 

There are three different systems that produce ATP. The first system is ATP, which is a phosphagen system. Then there is the anaerobic part, which is from your lactate system. The third is the aerobic system, which is using basically using sugar to create energy.

“Anaerobic means no oxygen, aerobic means with oxygen. So anaerobic, think sprinter dancer, baseball player, people that do quick bursts of movement and then stop with nothing. That's anaerobic, even weightlifting is anaerobic.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Aerobic respiration is the most used way of producing ATP. It is characterized when our bodies need both food and oxygen to create and produce ATP. When the body does that, the more oxygen we have, the more the ATP we can create.

Having a good blood flow

ATP is fueled when there is good blood flow. On a much deeper level, doing activities that encourages more blood flow signals the body that it needs to start creating more energy. 

The more you are moving and creating blood flow, the more there oxygen is delivered to your body, thus more ATP is being produced.

“Foam rolling, pre-workout pre-run send signals to the body and to the muscles that, ‘hey, you're about to do some stuff. Get yourself together by just creating blood flow.’ So just creating blood flow, you're releasing tissue and all of these things to get your joints to work.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

Protein, Carbohydrates, and Fats

Coach Jessica discusses protein, carbohydrates, and fats and how they relate to ATP production. She also talks about why intermittent fasting is not a good idea for the body. She mentions this as well to her previous episode on intermittent fasting.

“When the body is looking for something to use, in order to create energy, it's going to go for the most efficient. Carbohydrates, not only is it the slowest, but it is also the fastest producing ATP. It actually stores the glycogen both in your muscle and your liver, waiting. So this doesn't happen with either of the other two [protein and fat]. Similarly fat is extremely slow, it's inefficient to use it which lends to why the body works so hard to it when it goes into fat reserves and is starting to use fat reserves, why so many systems start to shut down because it's starting to use fat for energy. Protein doesn't give you energy, protein recovers muscle, it's recovery.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

ATP and the Runners Body

You will hear what basically ATP is, in terms of transitioning, how it's created, how our bodies are process oxygen, and therefore, create more ATP. You will also learn that ATP does run out.

“If you run a marathon, you're depleted. This would then go into your lactic state because now you're anaerobic, so you're not fueling it with oxygen. So you start to get the lactic acid buildup. Back in the day, if you had lactic acid buildup, it meant you had really sore muscles the next day. But the real reason is that you went out of the system of ATP of using glycogen and you started to use the lactic acid.” - Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio

To hear more about Coach Jessica and ATP and the need for it as an athlete, listen to this episode.

Difference between CBD and THC.

The first point we need to address is CBD being confused with marijuana. Yes, both CBD and THC are compounds found in cannabis plants, yet they have very different effects on the human body. From a technical classification point, a cannabis plant that has less than 0.3% THC is considered hemp.

01 Feb 2021🎧 Running Into a Sprained Ankle 🏃‍♀️ 🏃00:33:07

In today's episode, coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio offers up pearls of wisdom for any runner who suffers from sprained ankles. She explains why ankles roll and why looking at your feet isn't the answer. 

Why ankles roll

Sprained ankles are a common problem for runners. Yet, most runners don't know that the underlying cause has nothing to do with your ankles. The primary reason relates to your hips. This reasoning is because your ankles and your hips are synonymous in terms of movement. If your hips are out, so too are your feet. 

"Pain is never where it is coming from. It is the result of dysfunction; the root cause is somewhere else.

The good news is that this injury is easy to fix with the right conditioning work. However, the bad news is most runners don't do this. Instead, the most common response is to go to a running store and get fitted with a stability sneaker.

Newsflash! In "stability" sneakers, your ankles are still wonky, and your hips are still unstable. 

In "stability" sneakers, none of the underlying causes for your wobbly ankles have been addressed. The condition a dysfunctional movement. Despite the advertising, a stability sneaker will never support you, and your ankles will never learn to stabilize themselves.  

The real problem is your hips. Hip dysfunction disallows ankle flexion and extension. Often runners are sold inserts to solve a pronation problem. 

"A stability shoe with an insert is the biggest, most expensive band-aid you are going to put on your foot. They cause injury."

 If you run with hip dysfunction, you will condition muscles around that dysfunction. Consequently, you will develop muscles that support the conditioning of a dysfunctional movement. 

To address this, you need to correct how the muscles are firing to support your hip joint. This action doesn't happen overnight, but by guiding the hip through training, you can condition a functional movement. 

How to stop your ankles from rolling 

The short answer is there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Fitness is not general; it is person-specific. However, if your ankles are rolling, it is a clear indicator your hips are in dysfunction. Still, it originates from precisely what needs to be identified by a professional to be treated. 

Start taking notes after each run; The good, the bad, and the ugly. When you feel a twinge, write it down. If you smashed a run and feel great, write it down. Include the specific details. Was it hilly, flat, long, or fast? These details will start to indicate what is going on with your body.

#RunPainFree hot tip (yet again): Start foam rolling today. No, not your ankles, your hips! 

Your Running terrain and its impact on your hips.

While flat terrain may be more comfortable for the heart and lungs, it is much harder on your body than hills. Your hips are cooking the entire time on a flat course because you are always in knee drive. The terrain doesn't require you to open up your stride and ignite your glutes as a hill does. It would be best if you had your glutes to fire to relax your hips. 

"As soon as the hip flexors engage, they release your glutes. When this natural exchange isn't happening, you tank."

Conversely, hills make everything fire like a well-oiled machine. They open up your gait up and ignite your glutes. They extend your hamstrings and force you to use core torque. In essence, you move as you are naturally meant to as you run up a hill. 

Take-home lesson

When you condition for a range of motion, you prepare to withstand a role or a sprain. That is what correction is about. It allows you to build muscle that supports a specific range of motion, so your muscles don't strain, tear or rip.

This explanation is why it is common for runners to roll their ankles because no one is conditioning their ankles or hips.

To be a long-distance runner, first and foremost, you need to condition for athletic endurance. If you don't have the endurance for conditioning, you don't have the endurance for long-distance running. Sorry, that that's the truth. 

#RunPainFree knows you can enjoy running; you can run pain-free, you can run whatever you want when you want. But the caveat is, you need to condition for it.

14 Jan 2021🎧 Question Your Run Coach If They Suggest These 3 Things.....00:40:46

In today's episode of the #runpainfree podcast, coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio takes aim at three typical running exercises. She explains why they are doing you more harm than good. 

Give calf raises the boot.

Despite what you may have heard, adding heel raises into your training regime is counterproductive. Why? Simply put, a calf raise contracts your muscle. It's the full extension of your calf and ankle that gets you into the push-off position. 

"Your calf muscle will only fire when it is in full extension. If you are doing calf raises, you are pumping and contracting your muscles, not training for full extension."

While heel drops provide a better range of motion, they don't mimic the action of running. The vital ingredient you are missing in this exercise is the driving power that occurs from the push-off. 

For long-distance runners, static calf raises train the muscle in a dysfunctional manner that won't sustain endurance. That's why so many runners break down because they train using static moves.

Static calf raises hurt you because they don't mimic the biomechanics of the sport. For example, if you have trained your calf muscles doing sets of 15 reps, your muscles will fatigue because you haven't built endurance. As the muscle fails, this causes you to change your running gait. What starts as restricted motion in your calf leads to restricted movement in the hips – and that's a way more significant problem.  

The #RunPainFree verdict: Cut out calf raises, and save yourself hip injuries. Ain't nobody got time for that. 

Lateral leg swings – why are they a problem?

When you watch a group of runners warming up, you'll likely see lateral leg swings. But don't be fooled; the only thing they are getting ready for is a strain. 

News flash: Everyone has IT band fascia that is extremely tense and restricted. When you flare your legs from right to left, you are forcing a restricted motion at the joint. This example is why lateral leg swings strain ligaments. 

"Maybe it's because I'm Italian, but when people do lateral leg swings,s I see ligaments as overcooked spaghetti."

Hot tip! It would be best if you foamed roll before you stretch. If you can't be bothered to foam roll, don't bother stretching. You have a better chance of not injuring yourself by ignoring both.  

And don't be fooled by what blood flow does for your body on the run. Blood flow creates mobility and reduces pain. That's why so many runners run through injury; it feels better at the time. But when you stop, you'll know you aggravated your injury.  

The #RunPainFree Verdict: Lateral leg swings have got to go – they are not sport-specific. 

Butt kicks are for dropkicks.

When does anyone on a long-distance run naturally do butt kicks? Never. That's why training butt kicks causes injuries. 

Butt kicks pump your hamstrings. The job of a hamstring for a long-distance runner is to assess the level of extension and to pull your leg back. When you have pumped your hamstring before you run, it can't fully extend. 

When you do this repetitively, your IT band says, sorry buddy; I didn't sign up for this. Consequently, your knee and hip won't fully extend. That's when you find yourself in the hurt locker. 

"When you are in pain on a run, it is your body saying what you trained me to do and what I am doing are two different things, so stop now."

When a runner is butt-kicking, it's because they are on their toes. Have you ever seen Kipchoge on his toes? No, because butt kicks are for Usain Bolt.  During Bolt's final race, he hammered his hamstring. Up until that point, he had never run a mile. But you may have guessed, he now runs miles, yet he will never again be a podium finisher for the 100 meters.

"The only thing in common between running a long-distance and a short distance is the word run. You should be thinking, 'snap, I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm probably doing many things that I shouldn't be."

The #RunPainFree Verdict: Butt kicks are a pain in the arse. Do walking lunges instead.

KEY LEARNING POINTS:
  1. Calf raises contract your muscles, whereas you want to be training for full extension and push off. 
  2. Lateral leg swings are not sport-specific and create immense tension on your hip.
  3. Butt kicks pump your hamstring, which leads to a dysfunctional running gait. 
  4. Foam roll before you stretch. It breaks up the facia, which supports a better range of motion.

28 Jan 2021🎧 Cross Training No No’s 🏋️‍♀️00:25:15

In today’s episode, coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio discusses common cross-training mistakes made by runners. She lists her top three cross-training sports to avoid and offers advice on the type of activities that will keep you running injury-free. 

 

CrossFit

CrossFit may be popular, but just because Instagram is flooded with CrossFit images doesn’t mean it’s a good cross-training option for runners. Why? Because the injury rates for CrossFit are off the chart! You already know 80% percent of non #RunPainFree runners are injured every year. Combining the two is like trying to put out a house fire with petrol! 

 

The crux of why CrossFit creates so many injuries is due to athletes having poor form. The timed nature of the workouts leads athletes to trade proper form to beat the clock. Not only does it cause injuries like torn ligaments and popped shoulders, but it can also cause internal organ damage due to the stress of the high-intensity workout. 

“When you are lifting weights or just your bodyweight, proper form is crucial for staying injury-free.”

Injuries aside, the reason why CrossFit doesn’t help runners is it’s not sport-specific. It is High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT), not an endurance workout. This exercise discipline means training your anaerobic system, whereas long-distance running requires you to develop your aerobic system and muscle endurance.

The #RunPainFree verdict: Don’t touch CrossFit with an 8-foot pole. 

Alternative option: You can still take selfies and flash your abs online; trade #CrossFit for #RunPainFree instead. 

Yoga

Don’t let the zen vibes fool you; yoga can be hazardous for runners. Runners often think they need to stretch their body as it gets banged-up and tight from pounding the pavement. But take note, the last thing you need to be doing is stretching. 

 

“The danger of yoga for runners is that it forces you to disengage muscles that actually need engagement.”

The more vigorous the workout is, the more likely it will lead to injury. Bikram yoga is particularly injury-prone. The illusion of the heat makes you think you have more flexibility than you have. This concept can cause overextension and muscle strains. You may feel good during the routine because you are hot. But when you cool down, you will feel the pain strain.

The #RunPainFree verdict: Leave yoga for the yogis. If you like the relaxation aspect, try meditation or turning your phone off once in a while. 

Alternative option: instead of yoga, runners should regularly foam roll.

Pilates

Pilates is the love child of CrossFit and yoga. It is a HIT workout that also involves stretching. So not only is it going to set you up for muscle strains, but it won’t condition your heart and lungs for endurance. 

 

Many of the moves in Pilates come from dancers. That is why it involves many movements that hyperextend your knees. When you hyperextend your knee, you will likely strain your hamstring. At the same time, the job of a hamstring for a runner is to stretch dynamically. Static stretches have no place in a distance runner’s training regime. 

The #RunPain Free verdict: Pilates can take a hike!

Alternative options: Simple dynamic movements like clams and bridges are more useful for conditioning runners. For endurance, take a hike! 

Takeaway lesson

All of these sports have high injury risks for runners. CrossFit, Yoga, and Pilates are neither functional nor sport-specific for a runner. If any workout is causing a dysfunctional movement, it will lead to injury. You need to train for your body to be functional first, then prepare for running. 

If you want to learn more about functional cross-training for runners, go to #RunPainFreeNow for a free consultation. 

TIMESTAMPS

02:10 – CrossFit

07:37 ­– Yoga

13:18 – Pilates

20:43 – Takeaway lesson

KEY LEARNING POINTS

1.    CrossFit encourages poor form and doesn’t train your aerobic system. 

2.    Instead of yoga, start foam rolling to get the mobility required for long-distance running. Stretching restricted muscles create strains.

3.    Cross-train with workouts that build your aerobic base and develop muscle endurance.

02 Mar 2021🎧 How To Recover From An Injury And Progress Your 🏃‍♀️ (At The Same Time)!00:37:43

In this episode, Coach Jessica Marie Rose Leggio tells you how to recover from an injury and progress you're running simultaneously. It's something most people think isn't possible, but it is at the heart of # RunPainFree's method. Listen up and learn why progressing your running is the only way out of injury.

Is the pain even an injury?

Dealing with muscle pain is the last thing you should ever experience. The serious injury is in your joint. Addressing joint dysfunction is the cornerstone of runner injuries and is your path to progress. 

Takeaway lesson

 The most common running pains people experience are a symptom of a deeper-rooted injury. Consider them as a red flag for an injury elsewhere in the body. Make sure you log how you feel after each run. Each niggle, tweak, and nagging muscle is your body telling you that something is off. Your running log will be your lifeline out of injury. It helps you identify the damage and informs the conditioning work you need to progress out of harm.  

Identifying injuries and the corrective path forward is a complex task. If you are struggling to figure out what is going on with your body – reach out to us. That's our expertise, that's what we are here for, and that's why our clients love us.

KEY LEARNING POINTS
  • If you want to run injury-free, start foam rolling now!
  • Keep a log of how you felt after each run – this is essential for identifying the root of your injury
  • It would be best if you kept running through injury as the run is what gives you feedback on your progress

19 Jul 2019How Sport Braces, Cortisone Shots & KT-Tape HURT Runners & Marathoners!00:36:52

In this episode of the #RunPainFree Podcast

In this episode, we discuss:

  • Braces - The human body is meant to move freely. Learn how braces lock up your joints preventing you from moving freely. Runners wear braces to alleviate pain, but braces do not protect a runner from injury. In fact, it leads to more serious problems.
  • Shots - Cortisone can cause joint and cartilage damage when it is used for prolonged periods. It can also lead to tendon rupture as it weakens the body to dissipate pain. Discover how the pain is simply a result of the real problem, and why shooting the pain spot with cortisone actually deconditions your muscles, and creates new injuries. 
  • KT Tape - Has had a class-action lawsuit against them for false claims of preventing or fixing injuries, and the federal government WON, for a reason. We discuss the myth and misconceptions of KT-Tape and why your favorite athletes wear it, and why you should probably NOT use KT-Tape as a runner.

29 Jun 2019How Your ”Workout” Is Hurting You As A Marathon Runner00:33:50

How does working out hurt a runner?

As soon as a runner feels pain the first thing they do is run to do strength training. And it’s the WORST thing any athlete or anyone in pain can do. You build that dysfunction you are operating on. Worse. You MUST address the movement pattern to stop the pain, or you build it stronger. 

Most trainers do not have injury education, it's not what they are there for so they don't have to know. BUT it's important that we all know our limits in the health profession. Many trainers send my clients to get them “fixed” and then back into training. That is a trainer that understands the difference. And the EGO is out of it. 

Training is not conditioning

Muscles/workouts are EASY, #RunPainFree addresses the JOINT level, which dictates muscle.  

Loading a pattern solidifies that mechanic, and therefore the injury is stronger. 

When you bypass the joint and go after the muscle, you create more injuries. 

EGO has no place when it comes to injuries and people's bodies. Sadly, TOO many in this health industry have egos bigger than they admit. And This habit tends to hurt people. 

  • Foam roll first no matter what you feel! It will release the strain (go listen to my IT BAND podcast) 
  • Backtrack when you first felt the pain
  • Can you map the chain reaction to your pain
  • Create the movement that hurts most

18 Jan 2018The RunPainFree Beliefs, Programs, & Philosophy00:10:27
The #RunPainFree Podcast Ep. #2, It is important to understand the #RunPainFree Program, in order to know, there is nothing like it on this planet. Yeah, that is a big statement, because,... well, we do out of this world work. The RunPainFree Beliefs, Programs, & Philosophy
  • Dance, body movement, personal training, athletic training, sport-specific training, T3 equinox training ( special cases diabetes, injury.. etc.), physical therapy, FMS,  severe injury, running specific

  • What true correction consists of 4 days per week at a minimum

  • its a 6 months program and why

  • what happens to the body throughout the process

  • when it clicks and the body goes from 0-60 in one day

People who are told never to run again, not to run the marathon they trained all year for, people with stress fractures that come to us a week off the marathon, that we get not only running but running by us in the marathon smiling.

Someone in a boot, who stays in the boot while in correction, so we can work on what caused them to get into the boot in the first place.  A person with one pain, but we find 15 other injuries that resulted in that pain that brought them to us. And yes, the basic IT Band, Runners’ Knee, Plantar Fasciitis, Knee Pain.. basic stuff we fix too, of course. All those are the result of something bigger, and we always go to the root, not the pain spot.

29 Jun 2019Why Most Runners Hamstrings Are in Dysfunction00:39:44

Why Most Runners Have Weak Dysfunctional Hamstrings

Are your hamstrings doing the job of the glutes?

Like many things, I have come to find out the ROOT of the cause for many runners hamstring injuries.

The reason is, runners never build their glutes; they are trained to lift with the quad and keep the hamstring long.

An example of this is why when you squat, and your foot turns out, is a sign your hip is off and not supported by mass, indicating bad form if your feet/foot turns out! Joint range compared to stability (muscle mass) has to be balanced, or you're at high risk for injury. This action is why a dancer's body is as dysfunctional mechanically as a human. A complete opposite example of this is a football player, a lot more mass compared to flexibility/range = high risk for injury.

Runners are taught to PUMP (build) the hamstring, and build quads, even though the running community agrees the glutes are the most important, the lack of education here results in pushing the hammies to overfire disallows the glutes to fire, which then leads to the hamstrings not doing their job and taking on the responsibility of the glutes.

28 Jun 2019Why The Treadmill is a Dreadmill For Marathon Runners00:31:46

Why running on a treadmill is hurting your body more than you know…

Treadmills have a high rate of hamstrings injuries.  Due to the shortening of the stride that the body does naturally due to the proprioceptors (the awareness of your surroundings and how much space you have)  firing. Because you are on a belt, the legs naturally feel that and adjust, making your stride shorter. A shorter stride can mean:

1- Toe Striking

2- Lack of Hamstring Extension

3- No Glute Function

4- Quad Running

5- Overuse of Hamstring in a Dysfunctional Manner for Running 

6- Hip Lock Up

7- Back Pain 

All of which results in hamstring injuries. Especially in Asics sneakers (based on 2 years of hamstring strain case studies findings revealing the majority of hamstring strains are women, on the treadmill and those in Asics.). 

Women strain the insertion up under the glute. Where Men straining at the middle of the hammy 

Furthermore, holding on while running is a recipe for a very serious hip injury, most commonly resulting in Torn Hip Labrums. 

Yes in the cold, the treadmill is a go-to, and this podcast addresses how to do it safely, keeping your stride open while using the right muscles (glutes) and extending the hamstrings.
