My Personal Trainer and Lucky Charm, David Drinks on the Power of Strength & Mobility Training

This week's guest is my personal trainer, David Drinks from the Med Gym in Carlisle, PA.

David will give his thoughts on:

• The limitations of a "Just Run" philosophy, 
• The process he uses to design an individualized strength and mobility program
• The advantages for runners, and non-runners, especially those middle-aged and older
• The pitfalls of a DIY program
• The remote training process, 
• And much more!

Full disclosure: I have a very biased opinion of David and the process he uses. Before working with David, I was frequently injured. After starting to work with David, I had a two-year streak without missing a single running day due to injury. My streak was ended by Lyme disease. During my Lyme journey, an MRI revealed that I had degenerative meniscus tears in the medial and lateral sides of the knee affected by Lyme. Despite these tears, after working with David post Lyme, I ran seven ultra races in 2020. The highlight was winning my age group at the JFK 50 miler. 

David is either an incredible lucky charm or an extremely knowledgeable and effective personal trainer (or both)!
