The Birth-K sparked something extraordinary, and now Ross and Petar are here to reflect on their journey—mud, memories, and all—while exploring the heartbeat of Chico’s running culture. Whether you’re here for the behind-the-scenes tales, the spirited banter (serious runners? not really...), or the chance to meet the incredible people pounding the trails and roads of Chico, this podcast is your go-to for all things running—and a lot of things not running. From the history of the running community to favorite routes, future challenges, and even the big existential question, “Why do we even run?”, Ross and Petar serve up insights, laughs, and plenty of moments where things didn’t go quite as planned. And speaking of incredible people: Chico’s running community is fueled by local legends, inspiring everyday athletes, and fantastic organizations like Fleet Feet Chico and the Bidwell Run Club . These groups offer camaraderie, unforgettable events, and shared experiences that embody the true heart and soul of Chico's running scene. Ross and Petar will spotlight these organizations, their impact, and the run…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-18T20:17:11.080627+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ross-and-petar-s-pod-on-the-run-7301227"},"episode":{"title":"Motion is Lotion","slug":"motion-is-lotion","published_at":"2026-01-19T05:17:46+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ross-and-petar-s-pod-on-the-run-7301227/motion-is-lotion","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ross-and-petar-s-pod-on-the-run-7301227","url":"https://rss.com/podcasts/ross-and-petar-s-pod-on-the-run/2468565","audio_url":"https://content.rss.com/episodes/326112/2468565/ross-and-petar-s-pod-on-the-run/2026_01_19_05_16_52_256ff233-f44c-43c3-b5ac-9cfeeb022d14.mp3","summary":"Episode 17 brings us an important conversation with Dr. Alan Hivale — a Chico‑based physical therapist with a doctorate from Loma Linda, 15+ years in outpatient ortho, and a concierge practice built around one mission: keep people doing what they love. The episode kicks off with classic Pod on the Run banter and a little Chico runner appreciation. Congrats Neil and Nimai on crushing the Redding Marathon! From there, Alan jumps in with his background, his philosophy, and why he built a PT model that actually gives runners time, attention, and answers. From that point on, the episode becomes a runner’s goldmine. You’ll hear Alan break down the most common injuries he sees in Chico — what causes them, why they linger, and what runners get wrong. Then comes Rapid‑Fire Rehab Roulette , where we throw a few injuries at Alan and he fires back with quick, practical first steps for relieving the issues! No WebMD spirals required. The conversation then shifts into the myths runners love to argue about: warm‑ups, stretching, plyos, and whether “knees over ankles” is actually a thing. Mid‑episode, things get delightfully unhinged with PT Confessions - the most avoidable injuries, the advice he ignores himself, and the hill he’ll die on as a PT. You’ll also hear Alan unpack what runners should actually do after a run, which recovery tools matter, and which ones belong in the “it’s a personality trait” category. The hosts put him through Keep It, Toss It, Upgrade It with foam rollers, massage guns, compression boots, and epsom salt baths. One of the most memorable sections dives into Alan’s time running in Africa - the terrain, the culture, the surprises, and the lessons he brought back to his practice and his own training. As the episode winds down, Alan talks about Inspire Physica…","meta_description":"Episode 17 brings us an important conversation with Dr. Alan Hivale — a Chico‑based physical therapist with a doctorate from Loma Linda, 15+ years in outp…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":5702,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/ross-and-petar-s-pod-on-the-run-7301227/episodes/motion-is-lotion/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/ross-and-petar-s-pod-on-the-run-7301227/motion-is-lotion.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
