This is a must-listen episode for any runner, regardless of whether you’ve returned to racing after a traumatic injury: It showcases the grit and vulnerability needed to wage a comeback! With host Sarah Bowen Shea, Coach Jen Harrison shares her story of her injury, surgery, and months-long recovery, then the duo talks with Coach Jen’s physical therapist, Denise Smith, and her sport psychologist, Erin Ayala, Ph.D., about:
-trusting the recovery process;
-embracing the process, not the outcome;
-the importance of the mental recovery, not just the physical;
-the role of self-compassion after an injury; and,
-how the last 10% of the recovery can be the toughest.
