Katherine Campbell
I will never forget being told by a PT that the fix to my knee pain was to stop running. I was gutted and frustrated, and even felt the true cause of my injury was being completely overlooked. Fast forward 10 years later, I have made it my mission to show runners that running is safe and healthy. I'm Kat! Physical therapist, Certified Personal Trainer, and run coach. I am on a mission to foster a community of like-minded individuals striving to be the best runner they can be. The RunwithKat show is a fun, informative podcast that is centered around providing you all things running related so you can be the fastest, smartest, healthiest, and happiest runner you were born to be. Every other week, I will be interviewing the best and brightest running experts. I will also be highlighting past client experiences with injuries and race experiences. You can expect to leave each episode a little more equipped to live a life of happy, healthy, LONG LASTING running. Whether you’re a beginner runner or a marathon veteran, stay tuned every other week and bring out the best runner in you! Hosts: Dr. Katherine Campbell, DPT, CPT, and run coach
As a physical therapist, I often find that there is a debate when it comes to running… That is, is running a learned skill or is it something that we innately pick up and do well right away? So, in this episode I have Dr. TJ Martino here to discuss just that. And, if it is a skill, how can runners improve and refine that skill to become a better runner.

About Shaun
Dr. Shaun Astorga is a physical therapist who specializes in helping runners and an active population stay doing what they love while overcoming injuries and pain. Shaun founded his physical therapy practice AMP Performance Rehab in Chester, NJ, which he co-owns with his friend Dr. Monica Moore, after recognizing that the medical system does not have many solutions available for people who are physically active and enjoy pushing themselves. After suffering a life-changing neck and brain injury in 2017, Shaun spent the better part of 6 years trying to find a solution to get him back to running. Everything he learned during this time has gone into AMP's unique model of physical therapy and his clinical mentorship program called AMP Blueprint, where he teaches this model of physical therapy to other practitioners.

About Mike
Mike Schmidt; Founder, Owner, & Head Nutrition Health Coach of SuperfoodSuperHUMAN.
Mike grew up as an athlete in the suburbs of Boston, Massachusetts. He moved to San Diego in August of 2019 in search of his highest possible expression & happiness.
After deep reflection & meditation during the pandemic, Mike decided to go all in on nutrition. He earned both his Nutrition & Hormone Health certifications through IIN in May of 2020 and within 3 weeks of enrolling in the school...his 7 years of chronic acne & hemorrhoids completely vanished. Through this awakening, he felt compelled to help others transform, so he launched SuperfoodSuperHUMAN LLC in January of 2021 to help HUMANS discover who they truly are and what they ACTUALLY want through an unrestrictive, long-term healthy lifestyle while having fun, being happy, and feeling GOOD.

We are entering August, and August means all those runners who are running a marathon this year will slowly be entering heavy mileage.

On February 22nd, 22 year old Laken Hope Riley was found dead at the University of Georgia campus after going out on a run. While I like to keep topics on this podcast light and happy, I couldn’t shake knowing she isn’t the only one who fell victim to this. And as a female runner, I knew we needed to have a conversation about how women can feel safer running. So in this episode, I have Jodi from Go Guarded here to discuss what women can do to feel safer on their runs.

Being injured as a runner is not fun. And the number one question every runner wants to know is if they can continue running or when they are allowed to start running. But, instead, the question should be how much should they run? Coming back from an injury safely is just as important as the rehab. In fact, it’s actually part of the rehab. So, in this episode, Dr. Jenna Nitowaki- Luu will discuss how to safely return to runing after an injury.

A major mistake I see many runners constantly making is chasing after a half marathon or marathon time by only running half marathons or marathons. And yes, I can see how that would make sense, but what if I told you that maybe you can get faster by actually focusing on the shorter distances? The 5k is a great indicator of fitness without requiring an extended period of recovery following the race. But, despite it requiring much less recovery than a marathon, a 5k program should be just as carefully crafted as the marathon. So, in this episode Coach Montana Depasquale will discuss how to perfectly craft a 5k to help you PR.

Not all runners are created equal, therefore, not all run programs should be the same. And, I feel like MOST people know this, but, one thing I can’t shake off is how LITTLE we talk about the difference on how to approach programming for women. It is a fact, our hormones cycles are extremely different than men, and they are CONSTANTLY CHANGING, so today I have Louise Valentine here to discuss how women’s cycles can affect their training. In this episode Louise will discuss…
- Main differences between male and female athletes as it relates to hormones
- How does the menstrual cycle affect running performance
- How does being pregnant affect running performance in relation to VO2 max
- What are some tips for a woman runner if she has her period on race day
- Does menstruating during race day make us run slower or faster?
- Can women’s change in hormones make us more susceptible to injury like a stress fracture
Louise helps female runners ditch hormone havoc, sluggish running, hanger, weight gain, muscle loss, injuries, low libido & more. She is the creator of Badass Breakthrough Academy, the only 1:1 program combining women's health, comprehensive female-specific nutrition, run plans, expert-level injury prevention & all resources needed to work WITH your female body for life Named #1 practitioner in the world 2023, it's her greatest passion to empower everyday active women to feel, look & run their best with less stress.

Your mindset will dictate not only your running, but your ability to overcome any adversity in life. One of my favorite reasons I love running is because it can teach you a lot about how to challenge yourself physically, emotionally, and mentally. One major factor to consider when racing for performance is your mindset, so in this episode, sports psychologist Kate Allgood will discuss…
- Why is mindset and confidence important when running?
- What are some tools to shift mindset and help runners perform at their highest level
- What are some tools to improve self confidence when running
- Can visualization and imagery help with performance and achieve running goals?
- How can runners maintain a sustainable flow or rhythm through the duration of a long distance race
- How can runners build the mental tools to respond to a negative situation rather than just react?

As a Physical Therapist and online run coach, I have encountered WAY too many runners who have experience disordered eating and don’t even know it! A lot of runners seem to have a belief that the perfect time to lose weight is when training for a marathon OR believe that they need to be skinny to be fast. So, in this episode I have Athlete Psychotherapist, Stephanie Roth-Goldberg here to discuss common disordered eating in running.
In this episode, we discuss
- Do runners need to be skinny to be considered a runner, and where do you believe this thought came about?
- What is typically a reason that runners may have this type of belief?
- How do you manage a runners fear of gaining weight when they are in the middle of training for a marathon?
- How can a runner work through negative thoughts around weight gain and loss of fitness due to a running injury that requires them to stop running?
- Generally, what are some healthy habits you would recommend for all runners to maintain a healthy relationship and mindset within running?
Stephanie Roth-Goldberg, LCSW, CEDS-S is a psychotherapist specializing in eating disorders and athletes. She has group practices in both NYC and NJ that focus on treating eating disorders through an anti-diet lens.
Stephanie works with athletes and the intersection of eating disorders and sports. Stephanie, a runner and triathlete herself is passionate about incorporating movement into eating disorder treatment to help folks feel empowered and connected to their bodies.
She regularly presents on the subject of eating disorders and exercise.

In this episode, Golden Harper, creator of the Altra Running Shoe will be discussing several topics that will make you a faster, healthier, and happier runner. This episode covers…
- Golden’s running story and how he ran his first marathon at age 10
- The importance of mindset and happiness to sustain running long term
- The 4 key principles to perfect running form
- How it led Golden to creating the Float Harness
- What a zero drop shoe is
- The 4 components of a shoe that will keep your feet strong
- How and why Golden created the Altra Running Shoe
Golden Harper is the creator and founder of Altra and P.R. Gear. He is a foot health, footwear, and running biomechanics expert with several decades of hands-on experience working in these fields. Golden studied Exercise Science at two Universities, where he was particularly focused on biomechanics, kinematics, and coaching. During this time, he authored several research articles on running-related injuries and running technique.
Golden grew up in the footwear industry, with his Dad working for Nike and Saucony most of his childhood, and his mother being a sponsored athlete as well. His family opened a walking and running specialty store when Golden was 9, and he started working there right away. He began managing the store between high school and college, and came to the realization that when it came to footwear, most of what they were doing was not effective or scientifically based. Given that nearly all shoe store ‘training’ is propaganda from shoe companies, Golden set out to do the ‘Foot Health and Running Injury Major’ in college.
Between the ages of 10 and 14, Golden ran 5 marathons, debuting with a State Record 3:08 performance. He followed that up with a 2:57 performance that was good for a National Best for age 11. At age 12, he ran the St. George Marathon in 2:45, setting a world best. He went on to win 2 Cross Country State Championships and became a Cross Country All-American when he and several others all broke the previous national championship record at the Footlocker Cross Country Championships. His Senior year of college, Golden nearly went undefeated at collegiate distance Cross Country races. Golden has run professionally after college, winning Ultra-marathons and many mountain races. He is a downhill specialist and holds descent records on mountains all over the rockies, including Mt. Timpanogos in Utah and over a dozen 14ers in Colorado.

- Benefits of speed work
- Who can benefit from speed workouts?
- What type of speed workouts are there?
- Tempo
