Whether you're a seasoned marathoner, a couch-to-5K hopeful, or someone who's just running late most days—this episode is for you. We’re joined by the brilliant Dr. Megan Pappalardo, a certified run coach, doctor of physical therapy, and co-owner of Cadence PT. Megan’s deep knowledge of kinesiology, biomechanics, and injury prevention is matched only by her passion for helping runners move smarter and feel empowered every step of the way.
In this conversation, we dig into:
-
🏃♀️ The best way to start running (and why it’s not about speed)
-
💥 The most common running injuries—and how to dodge them
-
🏋️♀️ Strength training that actually supports your stride
-
📈 How to train with intention and set yourself up for long-term progress
-
💡 What “smart running” really looks like (hint: it’s not about doing more, it’s about doing it better)
Megan breaks down the science in a way that’s accessible, actionable, and—dare we say—fun. So if you've ever wondered whether you're “doing it right,” or you’re ready to fall in love (or back in love) with running, this one’s for you.
