サマリー
あらすじ・解説
Have you ever heard the phrases “hip replacement” and “ultra running” used in the same sentence? Neither did I until I met Mitch Hawbaker.
Mitch knew something wasn’t right with the right side of his body. He tried many therapies, chiropractic, core work, massage, yoga, etc. but eventually saw an orthopedic specialist. He was told that his hip needed to be replaced and that his running days were over. Mitch accepted that he needed his hip replaced, but he didn’t accept that his running days were over.
As is often the case, Mitch had to find a doctor willing to maximize his chances of returning to running. After the surgery took place, Mitch not only returned to running but, within 16 months after surgery, ran his first ultra race. Listen to Mitch explain how he was able to become a stronger and healthier runner despite having hip replacement surgery.
