The BibRave Podcast Ep. 66: The Dark Side of Running…

Cholesterol Dave (aka Dr. David Harmon) is back on The BibRave Podcast for Episode #66! This week’s show is brought to you by our sponsor, OOFOS.

So – we’ve all heard about how running is bad for us in some ways, and at times that might be true. Dr. Harmon walks us through a number of ailments and pathologies that can occur or be associated with long periods of intense training. Don’t worry, the takeaway is that it’s still OK to run and to run a lot – but don’t confuse that with being healthy and being aware of symptoms that can arise. The more you know!
