  • BROOKLYN HALF DEBRIEF - The Trials and Errors of Yet Another Half Marathon
    May 26 2022

    Today Farah and Gerard took a deep dive into the NYRR RBC Brooklyn Half Marathon that happened this past Saturday. It's easy to get hyped up for an upcoming race, but what about those post-race blues? What is there to be learned from a race that didn't go as planned? Are there lessons to be learned from successful races? How do you handle the emotional rollercoaster that comes from any type of race? Good or bad...

    Listen on to find out the answer to all of those questions! And some funny banter that will probably put you in a good mood. No guarantees, but we are in a better mood after recording this episode.

  • OVERTRAINING - What to Look For, How to Avoid it, and How Social Media can Encourage it
    May 12 2022

    Gerard was joined by DPT Connor Hesselbirg, one of our PT's here at Finish Line, to have an in-depth conversation about overtraining and how to avoid it.

    Overtraining is something that all athletes deal with to some degree, so we go over some of the early warning signs of overtraining, how to deal with overtraining symptoms once they do appear, how society and social media are constantly encouraging us to overtrain, and good mental practices to keep in mind when you are dealing with the pressure to train more when your body is asking for you to slow down.

    If you are dealing with overtraining, this episode of Thoughts From the Finish Line might help you. If you want further, one-on-one help from a trained professional, reach out to us at Finish Line Physical Therapy. Our services range from recovery techniques, rehabilitation from injury, and "pre-hab" to help you avoid future injuries. Head over to our website finishlinept.com for more information!

  • Track vs Road Racing. How the Heck Are They So different?
    Apr 21 2022

    Today we talk about the difference between racing on a track and racing on the road (with your feet, of course). Why are they so different? Why do people generally race on the roads more often? How do you successfully navigate the challenging tactics and logistics involved in track racing? These are all questions Farah had for Gerard, and we think we answered these questions pretty successfully.

    Apr 21 2022

    In this episode we talk about Farah's OSR30 race, how she thought it was successful, and how else OSR provides for the NYC Running Community in a unique way. Are these races a good thing? We think so, and for some interesting reasons.
