A little girl needs to see that she belongs here too. ❤️

3 marathons. 1 World Marathon Major. And just getting started.

Chicago wasn’t the finish I envisioned on the clock, but this moment reminded me that this journey is bigger than a finishing time.

I hope my journey reminds another Black woman or little Black girl that she belongs at the starting line too. && that her goals are worth chasing. And that she doesn’t have to look a certain way to be a runner.

We belong here too. 🖤

Tag a Black woman runner who inspires you && let’s show her some love! 👇🏾

PT TIP TUESDAY IS BACK! 👩🏾‍⚕️🏃🏾‍♀️

And with marathon season in full swing, let’s talk about one of those “please don’t ignore me” running complaints: SHIN PAIN.

What runners call “shin splints” is commonly referred to as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS), and it can show up when the demands of training start exceeding what your body has had time to adapt to.

And remember‼️ Not every case of shin pain is “just shin splints.” Persistent, worsening, or very localized pain deserves a closer look. 🩺

And what better time to bring PT Tip Tuesday back than PT Month?! 🎉

Consider this your friendly reminder from your neighborhood Runner + DPT:
You don’t have to wait until you’re injured to start taking care of your running body. ❤️

Save this for your next training block & send it to your marathon-training friend who keeps saying, “It’s probably nothing.” 😂

No Medal Monday today! The 2nd weekend of the year where I haven’t raced because… ITS TAPER TIME 😜 ….Here are a few things that may feel alarming but are completely normal during your marathon taper… but also know that every pain should not be ignored ‼️ …Any persistent, worsening, focal, or function-changing pain is different from normal taper weirdness‼️

You’d think running less means that you’d automatically feel amazing. Eh. Not always. Your body is adjusting to a sudden decrease in training load, and fatigue doesn’t disappear overnight.

Give it time‼️

During peak training, you may have been running on tired legs and simply accepting a little soreness as part of the deal. But now? You have time to investigate every. single. muscle fiber.

Your body is used to MOVING. So taper can mean: less mileage, more rest, more sitting around and more time to think. Suddenly you’re convinced you need to run 8 miles because you’re “feeling weird.” No, you should not. 😅

Taper doesn’t meant you’ll go from tired to less tired to absolutely AMAZING. Some days you’ll feel fantastic. Some days you’ll feel sluggish. Some days you’ll wonder if you have ever actually run before in your life. And you know what? All 3 are okay. 👍🏾

All these questions mean that you’ve officially welcomed…. the taper 😅

Again, one important disclaimer from your friendly neighborhood DPT 👩🏾‍⚕️ Not every ache should be ignored. Pain that is sharp, worsening, persistent, changes your running mechanics, or affects normal function deserves attention. But feeling a little different during taper? That alone doesn’t mean you’re falling apart.

TRUST THE TRAINING. You don’t need to earn your marathon by squeezing in extra miles. You don’t need to “prove” you’re ready. You need to recover. The miles are already in your legs. Now we let them do their job. 💪🏾 by @drstaceshonte
