info_outlineHave 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.
