135. Dr. Victoria Sekely on How to Fix Your Weak Areas, Run More, & Stay Healthy

135. Dr. Victoria Sekely on How to Fix Your Weak Areas, Run More, & Stay Healthy

Victoria Sekely was a varsity tennis player at Georgetown where she got her undergraduate degree in human sciences. She then went to New York University and earned her doctorate in physical therapy.

She's a USATF-certified running coach, certified Kinesio Taping practitioner, and received her certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) certification from the National Strength & Conditioning Association.

In this episode of the podcast, we're discussing a variety of weaknesses that are common in runners and how to address them:

  • A history of repeated and chronic injuries
  • No strength training or a lack of strength
  • An inability to run higher mileage
  • Poor technique

With races cancelled for the foreseeable future, now is the time to put in the real work of improving (instead of racing). Focus on training, identify your weak areas, and make your comeback to racing stronger than ever.

Thank you Victoria for sharing your expertise and helping us stay healthy!

Thanks PATH Projects!

PATH Projects made this episode of the podcast possible. They're an online-only retailer of high-quality running gear and apparel that I'm falling in love with.

Currently, I'm wearing the Sykes 5" Shorts (see them in action in this video), the Pyrinees hooded sweatshirt, and the Torch base liner. Their gear is unique, stylish, and a premium quality that feels great to wear. And because there's no retail markup, PATH is quite affordable.

They're using new technical fabrics and innovations to create award-winning apparel for endurance athletes. In fact, their Brim shorts and Tahoe base liner won Runner's World's 2018 Gear of the Year award. And the Pyrinees hoodie was named one of the best six sweatshirts for running in the cold by Gear Patrol.

Check out their full lineup of shorts, tops, hats, and base liners at PathProjects.com.
