| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Running Explain podcast. I'm Elizabeth, a marathoner, running coach, and answer seeker. |
| 0:06.9 | When I became a new runner at the age of 29, I had so many questions, but it felt like I was on my own to figure all of the answers. |
| 0:15.2 | So now I'm here to answer all your running questions to help make you a better, smarter, faster, runner. |
| 0:22.0 | There's no question too simple and no topic too complex. |
| 0:25.4 | So let's get started. |
| 0:30.9 | My guest this week is running physical therapist, run coach, podcast host, founder of Spark Healthy Runner, Dr. Dwayne Scottie. |
| 0:42.2 | He is here today to teach us about planter fasciatus and also a whole lot more as all of these conversations with physical therapists or most of my guests tend to go. |
| 0:52.3 | You are going to learn about plantrophaseitis |
| 0:55.0 | and what to do about it and how it happens and why it happens, but also like those little nuggets |
| 1:00.8 | of things that are just thrown in in conversation to a specific topic that connects to a larger |
| 1:05.9 | issue or topic or just how your body works. Yeah, this is one of those conversations. |

| 1:16.1 | and it's always fun for me when I genuinely learn new things from my guests, especially |
| 1:20.1 | one as knowledgeable as Dwayne has been doing this for over 20 years. He knows what he's talking |
| 1:24.1 | about. And we even delve into other conversations or other topics, |
| 1:28.3 | side conversations about things like carbon plate shoes and orthotics and all those things |
| 1:34.3 | that are, yes, technically related to our discussion about plantifaceatus, but like I said, |
| 1:39.2 | kind of draw a wider circle around this topic. So I know that plantentipaschitis is one of the most pernicious |
| 1:46.4 | and persistent running injuries that you can pick up. And we'll talk about why that is, but also |
| 1:52.5 | what to do about it. Right. That's the thing. Not only just why it happens, what causes it, |
| 1:58.5 | what can I do to help make this better? So without further ado, I hope |
| 2:02.6 | you enjoy this conversation with Dr. Dwayne Scottie. Dr. Dwayne Scottie, welcome to the show. |
