Are you constantly feeling anxious before a challenging workout or a race? Wondering if your digital screen is making it worse?
Todayâs guest is Jennie Ketcham Crooks, who is a licensed clinical social worker, anxiety specialist and author of LOOK UP: The 30-Day Path to Digital Minimalism and Real Life Maximalism. The book guides readers through 30 consecutive days of evidence-based interventions for managing our out-of-control digital consumption to improve our meaningful real-world connections and better align our actions with our values.
As our digital overconsumption continues to be fed with the release of each shiny new gadget and screaming fast app, itâs becoming increasingly challenging to put down our screens and interact meaningfully with the world and people around us. This constant barrage of digital engagement negatively affects both the quality of our relationships and our mental health.
However, all hope is not lost; Jennyâs expertise gives us actionable ways to adjust our behavioral patterns toward healthier digital habits.
In this episode, we discuss how the relentless allure of digital screens throttles our creativity and heightens our anxiety, the concept of psychological inflexibility as the cornerstone of our digital habits, and how to develop more mindful behaviors around interacting with our devices.
If you are currently anxious or feel like you are spending way too much time in front of your screen and it's affecting your relationship with running or your personal relationships, this is the episode for you!
We cover these topics and so much more!
- Why Jennie felt compelled to address digital overconsumption
- Generalized anxiety disorder vs. performance anxiety
- The surprising impacts of digital overuse
- Mental health, interpersonal relationships and digital overuse
- Reducing digital clutter can spark more creativity
- LOOK UP: The 30-Day Path to Digital Minimalism and Real Life Maximalism book

Have you been battling a nagging injury like proximal hamstring tendinopathy and you have been trying to get faster but keep coming up short? If you are feeling lost and would really like to get a marathon personal best and qualify for the Boston Marathon then this is the episode for you!
Teresa was suffering with upper hamstring tendon pain for 10 years and tried all types of treatments but every time she tried to run to her capability the pain would come back which left her feeling defeated and frustrated.
If you have been diagnosed with PHT and you were told that you are getting too old for running or running is just not for you anymore then you will need to listen to Teresaâs inspiring story on how she went from struggling with chronic hamstring pain to running a marathon personal best and qualifying for the Boston Marathon!
I have had the pleasure to witness Teresaâs transformation firsthand as her running physical therapist and coach through our Spark Healthy Runner signature coaching program and Teresa (like so many of the clients I am fortunate enough to work with) not only got back to running pain free but got the guidance from coach Lu on our team to take her marathon training to the next level to get that BQ!
I genuinely enjoyed this conversation and reflection of 8 months of training with the Spark Healthy Runner coaching team. We talked about the following and so much more!
- Teresaâs Hamstring tendon pain for 10 years
- Failed half marathon attempts
- What helped most with getting pain free
- New York half marathon without hamstring pain
- Beginning marathon training with coach Lu
- Teresa runs a marathon PR and gets that BQ!
- What did Teresa learn most about herself during marathon training
- Words of wisdom for getting a marathon PR
- PHT recommendations
- Whatâs next in Teresaâs running journey
- Listen to my previous episode on understanding proximal hamstring pain in runners
- Listen to my previous episode on how this physician went from PHT to NYC marathon finisher!
- Watch how Lisa went from a hamstring injury to crushing a BQ in 16 weeks!
- Watch how Gretchen went from frustrated injured runner to getting her running life back
If you are a runner who is looking for an individualized proximal hamstring tendinopathy plan and want to run pain free then you can begin to work with Dr. Duane Scotti within our 1:1 signature Healthy Runner Coaching program here.

[Download] The Ultimate Plantar Fasciitis Guide for Runners
Are you a runner whoâs been frustrated in the past that whenever you try to increase your speed or distance you get sharp pain under your heel?
You feel it when you take that first step out of bed in the morning or get up from your desk during work.
Plantar fasciitis can be frustrating for many runners the day after a long run or whenever you want to train for speed.
Are you worried that your foot pain will come back during training because you think you're getting too old for running?
Training for a half marathon or a marathon doesnât need to be painful and you donât have to rely on the following strategies (that actually donât fix the problem) of icing your foot after your runs, taping your foot, buying expensive orthotics, or switching your running shoes.
In this episode, I am going to unravel the mystery of how to add injury prevention strategies before, during, and after running with 10 easy ways to prevent plantar fasciitis!
Whether you are about to embark on training for your first race or you are a seasoned marathoner who has suffered through stubborn heel pain in the past, this episode is for you!
Avoid plantar fasciitis this summer with these 10 easy tips!

Have you recently been injured and you are wondering how to adjust your plan for your big goal race and you are afraid that you wonât get to the start or finish line? That is what Saundra thought when she got injured after training for her first chance at the New York City Marathon after trying to get in for 11 years. She got her shot and didnât want to miss it!
If you have had plantar fasciitis and you were told that you just need to stop running or if you have had injuries pop up after surgery training for your first marathon back, then you will need to listen to Saundraâs inspiring story on how she was not only able to run NYC marathon but then knock off a couple of other states for her 50 state race goal and finish the epic and exhilarating Big Sur Marathon!
I have had the pleasure to witness Saundraâs transformation firsthand as her running physical therapist and coach through our Spark Healthy Runner signature coaching program and Saundra (like so many of the clients I am fortunate enough to work with) is exactly why I am passionate about what I do today.
