Episode 15: Postpartum Return to Running with Dr. Danielle Kroot
Description
In this episode, AJ and Adam are joined by PT and coach Danielle Kroot. She is the owner of Starting Line Run Studio which is Maine's first run studio! Nearing the end of her own pregnancy, she’s been largely underwhelmed by the information out there about returning to running postpartum so she partnered with a postpartum exercise specialist to create a program and fill the void to help women get back to running postpartum. AJ and Adam sit down with Danielle to talk about her journey, the program, and various issues/considerations related to women returning to running who are postpartum.
