Chiropractic Care and Ultra Running with Dr. John Vigil | S3E10

Dr. John Vigil (aka @thestretchdoc, Doctor or Chiropractic), tells us his story of how he got into ultra-running, how he got burned out, and how he got into ultra-running AGAIN. Dr. John shares how chiropractic care can benefit an ultra runner, he also tells us how bodybuilding, triathlons, and other education/sports helped him become a better ultra runner!

Some Gold Nuggets:

-GET A COACH
-Plug yourself into a running group that will stretch/push you
-Put in the time
-See a chiro/PT/Dr if your pain lasts longer than 2-3 days. If the pain keeps returning, GO SEEK HELP BEFORE IT GETS WORSE
-Dynamic Stretching > Static Stretching
-Separate your running gear when flying, just in case your luggage is lost!
-Don't start anything new two weeks before your event!

Dr. John's Advice:
-Enjoy it
-Try different coaches until you find one you like
-Don't spend too much money on gear
-Focus on your nutrition "garbage in = garbage out"
