For such a simple activity, runners excel in getting injured or sidelined from training due to pain.

As someone who’s made a career out of migrating runners out of the medical system (not to mention having to deal with my own niggles, aches, and pains), I’m both amazed and frustrated by the amount of suspect running advice out there.

It’s also disheartening that running often gets portrayed as harmful or damaging, especially given its slew of documented physical and mental health benefits, along with its practicality.

If only runners had access to a website with actionable guides, timeless training plans grounded in science, and a community of experts and fellow runners to lean on for support…

Well, that day has arrived! I’ve always yearned to draw on my 20+ years of experience as a physical therapist, coach, and avid runner to birth something big that empowers runners to reach their best while not falling victim to the medical system.

Enter RunWell.com.
