#644 - Succeeding Through Short-Term Injuries with Bridget Chamberlin

Often times we take deep dives into runner's recovery from traumatic injuries. Those are useful and inspiring but not always relevant to most runners. In this episode, we take a look at the physical, mental, and emotional recovery from a short-term injury setback. Bridget Chamberlin returns to the podcast to talk about a three week injury setback that occurred with eight weeks left in her build to the 2024 Chicago Marathon. Bridget does a wonderful job detailing all of the feelings associated with her injury as well as the "all-in" method she used to bounce back and possibly return better than before. If you want to learn more about Bridget's tremendous progression as a runner, you can listen to her feature story in episode 573. You can also follow her at www.instagram.com/bridgetchamberlinruns .
