Description:

Dr. Jess Mena DPT is on the show and she brings it! Jess is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, marathoner, and a super fun person.

In this episode we talk about how she worked through her own injury prior to the 2021 Boston Marathon and bounced back to set a PR at the California International Marathon. Jess also gives us a preview of the upcoming Speed Project - a relay race from L.A. to Las Vegas. In addition we discuss training, the effects of increasing mileage, the limitations of a super busy schedule, and important lifts/exercises for all runners. We also take a deep dive into some common running injuries and how she works to help solve those issues.
