In this week’s episode, Rachel shares that she’s been diagnosed with a pubic ramus stress reaction, which is an injury she previously dealt with during her college running career. She opens up about the emotions that come with facing a setback, how she’s processing the news, and what the road ahead looks like. Karen also shares a quick update on her own injury recovery and how training has been going lately.
The Chicks also break down Parker Valby’s impressive 14:49 5000m PB from last weekend, discuss other recent results from around the running world, and get into a very important conversation about pro kits and why bun huggers might still be the superior race day choice.
