On Practicing Being Human-An Injury Case Study w/ Tomek Baginski

A lively & illuminating discussion & a case study on Tomek learning to deal with a longterm injury & how that can lead to a greater appreciation of being "a human having a running experience". We begin with a short commentary on the US Marathon Olympic Trials.

Show Notes

A wide ranging, honest dialogue about how injury impacts running & life. We start off talking about the US Marathon Olympic Trials & move into the specifics of how Tomek became injured, how he struggled with diagnosis, how it impacted his overall wellbeing & what he's going to be bringing to his running & his community as he returns back to full health. I mention late in the podcast about the need for community when athletes are injured. We are considering creating a community of Injured Reserves who can commiserate, compare, discuss & stay in community while they recover from injury. If you are interested in helping us create this community, please reach out to me at [e-mail] & use the subject Injured Reserve.
