I am so excited to have Kate Edwards on the podcast this week! Kate came on in the past in a duo episode with Blair Green to talk about running during pregnancy and post-partum in episode 54.  This episode I brought her on to talk about her own running journey. Kate was diagnosed with a heart condition - AVRC - that changed her relationship with running forever. She went from running 13 marathons and 3 Boston’s to now being able to run a limited amount while keeping her HR at certain levels.  I am so thankful for Kate’s vulnerability in sharing her journey through this process and I know you will all benefit from what she has to share. We talked a lot about the OTHER TOOLS runners would benefit from having in their TOOLBOX besides just running. Kate went on her own journey after her own diagnosis to discovering other ways to gain the mental and emotional benefits running provides and I wanted to bring her on to talk about these as running is not always guaranteed. Yoga, meditation, breathwork, work with a mental health specialist are a few of topics covered.  Kate is also a running physical therapist and owns her own concierge PT practice, Precision Performance with locations in the Atlanta area where she works with everyone from the weekend warrior to professional runners.  In true runner + entrepreneur fashion - she has accomplished A LOT and one of her latest entrepreneurial endeavors has been creating an online resource for RUNNERS with EVERYTHING you could need - and the best part - she didn’t create it alone but pulled in A TON of other experts in the running space to collaboratively create an amazing resource for runners.  Books: Racing Heart: A Runner's Journey of Love, Loss and Perseverance by Kate Mihevc Edwards Go Ahead, Stop and Pee: Running During Pregnancy and Postpartum by Kate Mihevc Edwards & Blair Green Other Resources: "More Than Miles" Podcast by Kate Mihevc Edwards & Kacy Seynders Fast Bananas Running Company https://www.fastbananas.com/ Precision Performance Physical Therapy https://www.precisionpt.org/dr-kate-mihevc-edwards-pt-dpt

We also discussed his long term aspirations and how he would like to help his community and specifically the black community in both running and healthcare. He also serves as the Captain of the Cincinnati Chapter of Black Man Run, a national organization, and we discuss how this has helped Brian.  Brian can be found on IG at @brianbarneypt.  Catch this one to learn how to Surmount the Odds 🙂 If you are enjoying these episodes and could like or SHARE this episode with someone else and SUBSCRIBE, RATE, and/or REVIEW this episode that would be amazing!
