PROJECT 2:59 Episode 2: Injuries: The Practical, Scientific, and Everything In-Between To Beat Your Next Injury

EPISODE 2! Today is all about (or 90% about, I suppose) injuries. I had a little hiccup last week, so Alex and I thought this was the perfect opportunity to address the topic that I'm sure you are all too familiar with: injuries. I first recap the little hiccup I had over the weekend before picking Alex's brain on all things injuries. I hope you find as much value from this conversation as I did!

Over the next nine weeks, I will be documenting my preparation and lead-up to the 2023 Columbus Marathon that will take place on October 15. This will be my first attempt at the marathon distance, and I have set the ambitious goal of running 2:59 or faster to break the three-hour barrier and qualify for a future edition of The Boston Marathon. Coaching me will be Alex Ostberg, a seven-time All-American who holds PRs of 3:58 in the Mile, 7:49 in the 3k, and 13:18 in the 5k. He has a Bachelor's Degree in human biology, a minor in psychology, and a master's in public health. I will take you behind the scenes on my training, mindset, and more each week via podcast with Alex. We will dive into the ins and outs of marathon training, seeking to provide you value along the way. I will also be documenting the training on social media so you can visually see the training and follow in a more in-depth way than ever before! You can listen wherever you find your podcasts by searching, "The Running Effect Podcast."
