E56 - How to Strengthen the Pelvic Floor for Running — Not Just Manage the Symptoms

In this episode, Alison challenges the taboo around pelvic floor health and argues that it should be understood as a vital part of movement and performance—not just something discussed when problems arise. She explains that the pelvic floor works dynamically with the core and diaphragm to manage force during running, contributing to efficiency and resilience. Rather than relying on generic Kegels or waiting for symptoms like leaking or pain, she encourages education, open conversation, and body awareness. The episode ends with an invitation to a free March 8 webinar focused on empowering runners to better understand and assess their pelvic health.Resources Mentioned:Aqua Notes Note Pad: https://amzn.to/463aNkL The Pelvic Floor Audit for Runners COMING SOON.
