In this month’s episode of the Next Level Running Podcast, Coach Sean Henning and I are joined by Certified Athletic Trainer Jacob Hayes for an in-depth conversation about common running injuries. We break down some of the most frequent issues runners face—like shin splints, IT band syndrome, plantar fasciitis, and more—along with practical tips on how to prevent these setbacks before they start. Jacob also shares valuable advice on effective rehab strategies, when to seek professional help, and how to stay smart and healthy in your training. It was a fun and insightful chat about some of the not-so-fun parts of running, packed with actionable takeaways for runners of all levels!
