Have you ever been so frustrated with trying to figure out why something hurts or you feel bad--and it seems like no one in the health care system can or wants to help you?

Celeste Goodson can relate.

A lifelong runner, who actually built a business helping pros like Allyson Felix and Steph Bruce keep running after childbirth, Celeste started losing control of her left leg while running. Eventually, this developed into a chronic and painful condition that made her unable to walk.

Celeste, founder of ReCore Fitness, a groundbreaking program dedicated to helping pregnant and postpartum athletes train and retrain their core and pelvic floor, went from doctor to doctor, got test upon test, and still couldn't find the right answer. Today, I am happy to share--some 8 years later, she is getting closer and is now able to run--some.

Celeste's story is one of pure perseverance--and you will leave feeling inspired to not give up on your health or yourself, even when it seems hopeless.

Some topics we dive into:

🌀 Her journey of misdiagnoses and what she’s learned,

🌀 The one thing runners should tell doctors to get the care they need,

🌀 How she has coped with the loss of running, and

🌀 The role low iron played in her running career.

We hope this conversation provides guidance and courage for anyone facing perplexing health challenges.

Whitney Heins is a mom of 2, a lifelong runner, a VDOT-certified running coach for moms who run, and founder of the resource, themotherrunners.com. When training for her first marathon as a mom, she found a dearth of information related to running and motherhood. She also felt extremely isolated as a new mom. As a former TV journalist and a freelance writer she decided to use her skills to fill the void with an online resource and community, called The Mother Runners. Whitney also recognized a need for run coaches who understood the demands of motherhood, so she also became a running coach—unearthing a passion for helping moms reap the rewards and empowerment of running. Coming out of a long injury cycle, she ran a 2:54 marathon and 1:20 half marathon in her 40s. She lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, two kids, and three dogs.
