In this episode of Rehab for Runners, Dr. Lisa shares her experience running the Marine Corps Marathon (MCM), where she conquered rolling hills, cold weather, and pre-race jitters to cross the finish line stronger than ever. Join her as she reflects on her race goals, training improvements, and a huge personal record (PR) moment. Dr. Lisa breaks down her approach to pacing, fueling, and, most importantly, enjoying the journey of each mile. She discusses the mental shift that helped her stay relaxed on the course, emphasizing the benefits of trusting the process without fixating on a specific time goal.

Listen in as she reviews the good, the bad, and the "neutral," unpacking what worked and what didn’t. From dialing in her fueling strategy to adjusting her mindset, Dr. Lisa reveals the training and mindset changes that made a difference. As she looks ahead to the next season, tune in for insights on marathon recovery, setting new goals, and the value of enjoying every step of the journey.
