Episode 32: Miranda DiBiasio on Finding the Silver Lining of injury and Strength

Miranda DiBiasio is a senior NCAA runner at George Washington University originally from Cleveland, Ohio, a SRC ambassador and contributor and an all-around amazing person. Miranda, welcome to the show! Questions we ask Miranda include: How did you get your start in running? What has your collegiate experience been like, both on the running side and academically? You’ve handled some pretty challenging injuries, as mentioned in your SRC post, “Finding the Silver Lining.” What has this process been like for you? Any advice for SRC listeners who are going through injury? “There are two mantras that really helped me through my injury. They were: “control the controllables” and “this too shall pass.” Anytime I found myself worrying about things that I could not control or getting upset about my injury, I would remind myself of these words.” What is currently making you thrive? Future direction post-graduation? What advice would you give your younger self? What does being a Strong Runner Chick mean to you? As a contributor for SRC, you started up our Workout Wednesday series on stretching, injury prevention exercises and strength training. Why would you say these are important components to our training and what are the most common misconceptions runners have about them? A few strength exercises every runner should integrate into their routine?
