Lisa has experience working as an Education Assistant supporting students with trauma issues, special needs, and learning disabilities. She has been a volunteer with the Peer Support Program with Operational Stress Injury Social Support (OSISS) for the past 3 years.
In this episode, Lisa will share her insights on finding the perfect running shoe, how to deal with your personal demons, and what she personally takes away from working with victims of trauma.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
In Nova Scotia, runners are referred to as “sneakers.”
Shoes are one of the most important purchases you will ever make as a runner.
You should only get 3-6 months out of your running shoes.
If your running shoe can twist easily, this is a sign of how little support it will offer.
Like clothing, your shoe size will change depending on the brand.
If you wear out your shoes on the inside, you pronate. If you wear them out on the outside, you supinate.
PTSD does not just effect the person it’s happening to — it effects everyone.
Self-care is another job/task when you’re a caregiver.
