Easy miles ✅ Now finish strong 💪

Strides at the end of an easy run help reinforce good form, improve running economy, and prep your legs for faster efforts—without adding too much fatigue. Think of it as a mini speed tune-up for your body and brain.

Keep it smooth, relaxed, and controlled. 4–6 x 20 seconds is all you need. Don’t skip ‘em!

"What are you training for next?" - we get asked that question all the time. We're here to remind you that "nothing right now" is an absolutely perfect response!

You can't go hard all the time. If you do, it's not a matter of if, but WHEN it will catch up to you. This could look like injury or mental burnout. The closer you fly to the sun, the easier you'll get burned. It's paramount that you come back towards Earth for periods to avoid that👽

We've mentioned before, but adaptation happens primarily when you're recovering. If you don't recover - you won't adapt. If you hammer marathon build after marathon build, you better be carving out recovery time or have an off season block planned. Your body and mind will thank you!!

Strength training isn’t just injury prevention for runners—it’s performance enhancement. 🏃‍♀️💥

Better running economy. 💨
More fatigue resistance. 💪
Improved speed and acceleration. ⚡

The key? Heavy, low-rep, high-quality lifts—done 2–3x/week.
Not endless light reps. Not to failure every time.

✅ But remember: 3x10 is still great for beginners! Anything is better than nothing. Just challenge yourself to load a little more than you might default to—as long as you maintain good form throughout.

We’re here to help you run smarter, stronger, and longer.
Because at The Run Rx, strength isn’t optional—it’s essential. 🛠️🏃‍♂️

There’s a difference between being dedicated to running… and being driven by fear.

Psychologists (Belanger et al 2012) call it obsessive vs. harmonious passion, and it turns out, how you love you running can shape your performance, stress, and injury risk.

🔥 Obsessive passion might push you to perform when you’re under pressure, but is less sustainable in the long run. It often comes from a place of fear, guilt, and needing to prove yourself.
❤️ Harmonious passion helps you stay consistent, recover better, and enjoy the process, without tying your self-worth to every race or run.

At The Run Rx, we help you understand both the mental and physical side of performance, so you can train with more joy, and fewer breakdowns.

Not all testing is created equal.

Anyone can collect data.
What sets us apart is how we interpret it, connect it to your goals, and turn it into a plan that actually works.

At The Run Rx, we use high-level tools like our sensor to gather meaningful data—
but it’s our thousands of hours working with runners that make the difference.

We don’t stop at the printout.
We dig deeper—because you deserve more than surface-level care.
You deserve care that’s tailored, actionable, and built for you.

Let’s figure out what’s really going on—and build a plan that works.

🗣️NOT ALL BONE INJURIES ARE CREATED EQUAL

Why did your friend with a medial tibial BSI get to return to running sooner than your friend with a femoral neck injury? Here's why ^^

A Bittersweet Goodbye to Dr. Elise Jackson

We’re sad to share that the wonderful Dr. Elise Jackson’s last day at The Run Rx will be July 14th.

While we’re going to miss her dearly, we’re incredibly excited for Elise as she and her husband begin a new chapter in western MA, settling into their first home🏘️👫🐶

Elise has made a lasting impact on every runner she’s worked with, and on all of us lucky enough to work alongside her. Her sharp clinical mind, genuine empathy, and unwavering dedication to each patient’s journey embody everything The Run Rx stands for.

Beyond her clinical expertise, Elise is exceptional at truly hearing her patients and making them feel seen, supported, and understood. She wears many hats. Often part physical therapist, part mental health counselor, always prioritizing the whole runner, body and mind. She’s helped countless people not only get back to running pain-free but also find the confidence to lift heavier, move better, and feel stronger than ever.

From the first appointment to the next PR, Elise has guided runners with skill, patience, and warmth—meeting them where they are and empowering them to move forward with confidence.

Please join us in wishing Elise all the best on this new adventure. She will always be part of The Run Rx family.
If you’ve worked with Elise, we’d love for you to show her some love and share how she’s helped you in the comments below!👇

Recovery doesn’t have to be flashy or complicated. The truth is, the best strategies are often the simplest ones—sleeping well, eating right, moving gently, and taking time to relax.

These habits might not look fancy on Instagram, but they’re the foundation of real progress and lasting results.

Consistency over quick fixes—that’s how your body truly adapts and heals.

Keep it simple, keep it steady, and watch your running (and life) improve.

Not all recovery tools are created equal.

Sleep, nutrition, strength, and smart load management? 💯
Massage guns, IV drips, and cold plunges? Nice-to-have—but not the game-changers.

Focus on the fundamentals first. The rest is just bonus.
