I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Coach Lisa, an accomplished and inspiring figure in the running community. As an experienced Road Runners Club of America (RRCA) certified coach, Lisa brings decades of personal and professional expertise to her work with runners of all levels. In our conversation, we explored the powerful relationship between physical therapists and running coaches, and how they can work together to help athletes reach their goals while staying injury-free.
