In one of our most wide ranging conversations yet, we are excited to be joined this time around by physical therapist and long-time friend AJ Sobrilsky. AJ has had a remarkably varied range of experiences in the running world, from an unconventional origin story as a former four-sport high school athlete to collegiate distance runner, all the way to being plugged in to the Mecca of the American distance running scene in Flagstaff. Beyond some catching up & sharing old stories, we dive into the key ingredients of creating a special running culture, the evolution of identity as a competitive runner, and get some insights from AJ & Spencer, two of the top running PT's in the game, about staying healthy & maximizing performance.  As always, we have some fun with his hot takes in the rapid fire round, including his pick of favorite Performance Running Outfitters owner.
