211. Injury and Nutrition Guidance Sparks Rachel's First Marathon Success!

Have you been struggling with nagging injuries such as knee pain or plantar fasciitis and you thought you would never run pain free again?  Do you feel so lethargic and tired because you are not getting in the proper amount of nutrition to fuel all your exercise and running?   Those were the things Rachel was struggling with prior to getting guidance with myself as her running Physical Therapist/coach and Brooke Czarnecki as her running Registered Dietitian at Spark Healthy Runner. Once Rachel got clarity on where she needed to focus her efforts with her training, she not only felt better as an athlete but just completed her first road marathon and exceeded all her expectations! Rachel is not only an avid trail runner, serious rock climber, and now marathoner, but she is a pretty awesome person who not only is driven but takes action on getting guidance which we don't see a whole lot in our younger 20 something year old runners and I respect that in Rachel that she has the humility to know when is the right time to ask for help.  If you are a goal oriented person and don't want to worry and question whether you will be able to run to get in your daily stress relief then you will want to listen to Rachel's transformation as I am sure you will resonate with what she has to say.
