227. IT Band Syndrome Prevention Tips to Conquer Marathon Training with Dr. Duane Scotti 05/09/2024

227. IT Band Syndrome Prevention Tips to Conquer Marathon Training with Dr. Duane Scotti Are you a runner who’s been frustrated in the past that whenever you try to train for a marathon you get sharp pain on the outside of your knee? Iliotibial Band Syndrome can be frustrating for many runners during a long run when you get that sudden jolt of knee pain that just stops you in your tracks and then you have to deal with lingering achiness and stiffness throughout your day when you get up from a chair, go down stairs, kneel, or squat. Are you worried that your knee pain will come back during marathon training because you think you are just preordained to get ITB syndrome? Training for a marathon doesn’t need to be painful and you don’t have to rely on the following strategies (that actually don’t fix the problem) of icing your knee after your runs, ice it, using a IT band strap, KT tape, or doing IT band stretches. In this episode, I am going to unravel the mystery of how we as runners can prevent IT band pain during marathon training! Whether you are about to embark on marathon training for beginners or you are a seasoned marathoner who has suffered through knee pain during your 16, 18, or 20 mile long runs then this episode is for you!

203. Hamstring Injury to New York City Marathon Finisher! 11/23/2023

203. Hamstring Injury to New York City Marathon Finisher! 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.
