Do you have big running goals?

Staying consistent long-term is the key to becoming your best. You’ve got to progressively challenge yourself month after month while being adamant about avoiding injury while training and racing.

How do you find the perfect balance between working hard and recovering enough so that you consistently move towards your goals?


On this week’s episode of The Knighton Runs Podcast, I chat with Alex Burke, PT about how to stay injury free while chasing big goals!

Alex Burke is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and works as a Body Coach at TB12 Sports Performance and Recover Center in Boston, MA. Alex has seen massive improvements in his own running since joining The Knighton Lions six months ago. He is currently training to run sub 3 hours at the 2023 Chicago Marathon. In his professional life as a PT and TB12 Body Coach, Alex loves helping runners overcome and prevent injury so they can perform pain-free and reach their full potential.
