The Balancing Act of Endurance Running is a complex topic of discussion 🫨☝️

You may or may not be aware of the Ancient Greek Legend of Philippides, the Greek messenger who inspired the modern day Marathon.💥 What most of us didn’t know is that this legend was also met with reality: his journey ended tragically due to cardiac issues after delivering his message. 😵

This week on the show Dr. Jordan Leppan shares his knowledge of endurance with our listeners where we dive into the potential health complications of running and how to look after ourselves for longevity in the sport 🔥

Join our podcast as we unravel the irony of this ancient tale and explore the fine line between endurance training and health. ❤️🫁🦠😷😵
