Melissa Linden

Melissa is a hybrid athlete participating and competing in the sports of distance running, obstacle course racing, ultramarathons, endurance OCR, powerlifting, and Strongman. She also dabbles in functional fitness and CrossFit competitions for fun. She was guilted into running a 5K back in 2013 and fell so hard in love with the idea of setting, training for, and achieving a goal that she has been running ever since. 

Along the way, she equally fell in love with being strong and lifting heavy and is determined to prove that it's possible to be a high-performing athlete in dissimilar sports. A mechanical engineer by day, she lives in New Jersey with her husband James, who you can find on top of Melissa's shoulders as she carries him across the Finish Line.

If you are like most of us runners over 40, you've heard a time or two:

"Running is bad for the knees"

"You should take more rest days"

Maybe you are just starting to run and feel like you don't love it. We dispel the myths that "runners love running" and "some people are built for running".

Listen up as we discuss 7 specific myths about running in your 40s and beyond and the truth behind staying fit and happy as a runner!

Visit https://www.runningwithgrit.com for all things related to running after age 40.

Is distance running bad on the lower back?

What about marathon running? What are the effects of endurance training on the back, specifically on the lower spine.

We dig into a recent scientific publication that answers this question. Researchers from the UK studied the lumbar spine of marathon runners before and after a marathon. The results may surprise you!

A few other tips for avoiding lower back pain while running-

• Complete your core exercises
• Keep your upper spine / thoracic spine area mobile
• Stand more than you sit

The plantar fascia is the most bottom superficial level of your foot. It’s a ligament that originates at the heel bone and goes all the way up to the ball of your foot. Plantar fasciitis occurs when that ligament becomes irritated and inflamed, resulting in pain and swelling in the bottom of the heel. Learn more about diagnosing and treating plantar fasciitis, and what to expect if you need treatment.

Meet Brian Scott,  a retired athletic trainer  who worked at the high school and collegiate levels with a brief stint in minor league baseball. Brian started as a full time practicing physician's assistant in orthopedic surgery and sports medicine over 14 years ago.​

He is also the host of the Injured List podcast, your go-to source for everything about injuries related to sport, from fantasy sports injury updates to educational healthy tidbits for the weekend warrior.

In this episode, Brian discusses the types of athletes he's treated throughout his career and common injuries which occur in runners.  He emphasizes the importance of cross-training and understanding your own physical baseline so that pain and injury management can become more precise and accurate.  

He also covers the difference between male and female injuries, the mechanics of running, and steps you can take to prevent future injuries.

BRIAN'S TAKEAWAYS

1. The majority of injuries in runners stem from chronic overuse and overtraining.
2. Cross-training is vital to injury prevention.
3. What works for professional athletes may not work for you.
4. Before you embark upon a new exercise journey, always get a physical first.
5. The female triad occurs in runners when there is a combination of overtraining and malnourishment.  It can lead to irregular menses, osteoporosis, vitamin deficiencies, and stress fractures.
6. Since the body is like a chain, small injuries in running will cause a chain reaction.
7. Look for the origin of the injury.
8. Lifting weight helps decreasing bone density.
