Have you ever faced an insurmountable obstacle, only to emerge stronger and more passionate than ever? Christina Frattura embodies this spirit, taking us from her initial disdain for running to her inspiring completion of the iconic Boston Marathon.
Her journey is a testament to the power of community and personal drive. When we shift to the personal, the conversation gets raw and real – fears, doubts, and the cathartic release of crossing the finish line all come into play. We tackle how life's demands intersect with marathon training, revealing how a supportive running community can be an absolute game-changer.
Julie Cates joins us to shed light on the importance of strength training, particularly for women combating muscle loss with age. We dive into the undeniable benefits of resistance and impact training to optimize bone density and how these practices go hand-in-hand with endurance sports to forge a strong, agile body ready for life's demands.
Don't just run your race; let's run it together, stronger and empowered.
