Dr. John shares how chiropractic care can benefit an ultra runner, he also tells us how bodybuilding, triathlons, and other education/sports helped him become a better ultra runner!Some Gold Nuggets:-GET A COACH-Plug yourself into a running group that will stretch/push you-Put in the time-See a chiro/PT/Dr if your pain lasts longer than 2-3 days. If the pain keeps returning, GO SEEK HELP BEFORE IT GETS WORSE-Dynamic Stretching > Static Stretching-Separate your running gear when flying, just in case your luggage is lost!-Don't start anything new two weeks before your event!Dr. John's Advice:-Enjoy it-Try different coaches until you find one you like-Don't spend too much money on gear-Focus on your nutrition "garbage in = garbage out" ______________________________________________________________________________________________________Links:Private coaching/personalized workout plans: @thepinetreerunnerUtah real-estate agent who helps runners find a home near running trails: Jacob Bateman | Exit Realty Affinity | Bountiful, UT Real Estate | 385-314-1016 (ihouseelite.com)Teton Hammock Company: Best Camping Hammock | Camping Hammock Tarp - Teton Hammock (tetonhammocks.com)Self-Defense Course for runners: Run Without Fear | Melody Bateman's School (teachable.com)Our Instagram page: Melody and Jacob Bateman (@trailto100) • Instagram photos and videosJoin our beginner trail running community on Facebook: Trail to 100 | FacebookDr. John Vigil's Information:Instagram: @thestretchdoc Dr. John Vigil (@thestretchdoc) • Instagram photos and videosWebsite: theStretchDoc
