Episode 4 – The RUNATL Podcast with Guests Dr. Julien & Dr. Peebles
Greetings, Friends!
Man. What a treasure chest of important information our special guests, Dr. Perry Julian and Dr. Charlie Peebles of Atlanta Foot & Ankle Center, gave us in this episode! From awesome analogies, inclusive of the “check engine light” and the use of an epoxy in the “age of immediacy,” these guys give us awesome insight into common foot maladies AND terrific advice to avoid lower body discomfort. This is a conversation to which you’ll want to listen and share more than once! We also share some encouraging news about fitness in the workplace and look back the highlights for this year’s Hotlanta Half Marathon.
And, of course, please don’t forget that you can always connect with us AND enter your question for the “Podcast Payout” at podcast@bigpeachrunningco.com! In the next podcast, we’ll be giving away brand new RUNATL tees… Seriously!
