This week we are diving into HYBRID TRAINING for endurance runners with exercise physiologist and hybrid athlete Dr. Alyssa Olenick (@doclyssfitness)! Hybrid training isn't just about picking between strength or endurance – it's about embracing BOTH for both health and performance goals.

In the newest episode of The Running Explained Podcast, Coach Elisabeth is joined (for the fifth time) by Dr. Marie Witt, a strength coach for runners and doctor of physical therapy, to tackle one of the most persistent issues in the sport: why runners get injured during training, and what critical factors we’ve been overlooking.

So let’s talk about what’s going on when you sprain your ankle, how serious it really is, and what it takes to get back on your feet (literally).

Are you still blaming your shoes, stretching routine, or running form for your injuries? A new study surveyed runners on what they think causes injuries—spoiler alert: most of us are getting it wrong. In this myth-busting Research Rundown, Coach Elisabeth breaks down what the evidence actually says about injury risk and how to train smarter to stay healthy, consistent, and confident in your running.

In this episode, Dr. Lauren LaPierre, doctor of physical therapy, runner rehab specialist and running coach, speaks with Coach Elisabeth about one of the most overlooked injuries among runners: the ankle sprain.

In this episode of The Running Explained Podcast, Elisabeth speaks with ultra runner and movement coach Samuel Stowe about the often-overlooked foundations of efficient, injury-free running.

Whether it’s a sharp, sudden pain or a lingering ache that just won’t leave, we’ve got you covered in this episode with physical therapist Alyssa Ford, DPT, where we dive into the emotional and physical journey of dealing with running injuries.
