In this week's episode of "The Everyday Runner", Erin sits down with Alyssa Ford, a remarkable individual whose running journey is as inspiring as it is relatable. As a doctor with a physical therapy degree, Alyssa brings a unique perspective to the table, sharing her experiences, mistakes, and triumphs in the world of running.
Alyssa's love affair with running began in middle school, where she hit the pavement alongside her mom, who, at sixty-something, is still lacing up her running shoes to this day. From those early days of mother-daughter runs to completing her third marathon and achieving a personal record, Alyssa's journey is a testament to the enduring power of perseverance and passion.
But it hasn't always been smooth sailing for Alyssa. Like many runners, she's encountered her fair share of challenges along the way, from going out too fast during her first half marathon to dealing with the dreaded chafing – an experience that she hilariously describes as her most embarrassing running moment. But true to form, Alyssa doesn't just dwell on the setbacks – she turns them into valuable learning experiences, sharing tips for avoiding chafing and emphasizing the importance of proper gear and fueling.
As Alyssa takes a well-deserved break from training to focus on enjoying running for fun. So whether you're a seasoned marathoner or just lacing up your running shoes for the first time, this episode is packed with wisdom, humor, and practical tips to help you embrace the joy of running – one mile at a time.
