We're actively growing this group to be a free community for runners around the world to have access to evidence-based & optimistic running-related information. There's a lot of BS out there, so we hope to help you better understand what info is likely either nonsense, or needs a lot of nuance. @Jesse Garn has been working with Steady State as a virtual PT/coach the last year, and is helping lead our virtual growth. He'll be leading the first live Q&A this Friday at 12pm EST! Feel free to come with (or without) questions, or comment questions you have here to be talked through on the call. You can find access to this live call in the "Calendar" section above - make sure to add to your calendar so you remember to join!

Welcome to the Durable Runners Hub! This is a free community for runners who want to stay healthy, consistent, and improving over the long term. The focus here is durability, smarter training decisions, and learning how to think about strength, recovery, and load - not following rigid plans. A few quick notes to help you get value right away: - Looking for a specific resource? Head to the Resources section. - Live calls: Most calls are led by @Jesse Garn, with myself joining occasionally. Replays are always posted. - How to use this space: You’re welcome to explore quietly, ask questions, or jump into discussions. There’s no pressure to post. If you’re part of Steady State Open Enrollment, you’ll also see a private area for OE-specific calls and updates. Glad you’re here!

I hope this is the appropriate place to ask questions that perhaps others would like to see the answer. Do most runners use carbon plated running shoes for races? I am just learning about them now. Is your time really improved by 10sec/mile!? If so how do you mix the shoe in with training as you likely don't want a new shoe on race day?

Where have people gone for Vo2 testing in the Portland area?

This group has been a decade in the making for us. We're absolutely stoked. We've helped ~1,000 runners locally in Maine since we first opened our Running Specialty Physical Therapy practice Steady State Health 4 years ago. While we continue to grow locally, we've been working on building a better way to help more runners who are not local to us (this group and the many courses we're currently creating for the members of this group). Our goal is simple: help as many runners learn how to train injury-free as possible - and therefore living as full of a life as possible. In this group you can expect evidence-based & empowering education, a community of runners who are dedicated to consistency & longevity, and live support via Q&A calls exclusive to the Durable Runners Hub. Thanks for joining and stay tuned for much more content!
