- Coach Liz had a year!
In April 2023, she experienced a low back injury and has been dealing with it since.
Find out her story, what caused the issue, and how she got through being misdiagnosed in the first place.

I’m a 60 year old ultra runner and marathoner, not a weightlifter. My strength program consists of hill repeats at various speeds and flat out sprints. No injuries, never been stronger and my muscles I need to run 100K or more have never been stronger. My core is ripped too. I do a little yoga and stretching but sprinting up hills makes your whole body strong without bulking. Eat lots of protein. Trust your instincts when training. Push when you can, have the wisdom to slow down when you need to. Good luck 🤞
Sprinting up hills will not strengthen your upper body. You should do strength training. All serious athletes, in any sport, does some form of strength work. When one is an ultra runner, marathoner, or triathlete, your overall training volume is already high, so you really have to know how to periodize and program your strength work properly.
@@user-sg8kq7ii3y you are wrong. Sprint up hills is weightlifting for runners.
This looks like an absolutely awesome event and it's absolutely on my list of essential races!
Thanks for this. I am lying in bed watching this, unable to move due to a disc issue. It's so disheartening. The first time it happened was after a 5 km park run. I have been out of action for months now and can't wait to move on. It's been a roller-coaster ride so far and for some reason it took a bad turn yesterday. And here's this video. Thanks!
Oh man Matto! I am sorry to hear this. As you know from watching, I know what you are going through. Take the time to reflect but also be easy on yourself mentally. You have an opportunity to move through this injury and come back stronger. I hope this video helps you to come back faster than I did. Sending positive vibes your way!
Rooting for you Coach Liz!!!
Thank you! 🙏🏻
Coach Liz that was a rollercoaster ride! I hope that telling that story in such detail was cathartic for you! Stay strong and overcome, love the channel and your work.
Thank you so much for your support and positivity! Things are definitely on the up and up!
The insurance companies always want to do the cheapest thing first, hence the CT. Same thing with getting an x-ray of your knees, etc. before they will do an MRI.
It stinks. It has to be that way!
Completely different imaging modalities that serve independent and combinatorial diagnostic purposes. Just work the system and advocate hard for your health. America's sick care system is broken.
As soon as you said deadlifts I was thinking discs , glad you’re feeling better.
Yes! So sad because I love deadlifts but navigating life without them for now. 😔
Hope you're recovering well now. Sorry to hear the long hours of the Boston marathon livestream left you in excruciating pain.😢 I'm rooting for you Coach Liz.
Thank you so much Tom! As always, thank you for watching! 🙌
This is exactly what I’m going through. Been trying to workout the glutes and stretch. Nothing.. just pain. Going to get an MRI and check out the McGill 3. Thanks!!!
Must have been hard. I’ve also recently been injured and had a health problem so had to back off during winter, which led to the cold and dark getting to me mentally. It can be tough to turn things around, but now I’m all the more determined and wise for it.
❤ Same here! I went into that dark place, but realized I had to change my perspective and if I can get through this, then I will most definitely come out stronger just in a different way. Thank you for sharing your experience!
This was perfect timing for me. I’ve been dealing with issues way too long. It’s frustrating when I want to get out, just walk without pain and I get knocked down over and over. Yes, after while and getting knocked down, I begin to think will I ever get beck there. I see my goals getting pushed back farther, so frustrating. I am really hoping only 6 more weeks until I can go out without issues. I know it’s going to be just walking, but at this time, I’ll take it. I can’t wait to be able to do a 5k without crashing after the first mile.
Hi Carrie! So good to hear from you over on this side of the channel! I know exactly how that feels. Walking is great and it was something I embraced while working through the injury early on. That would be one of the things I did right while on the healing journey. Water running was great too.
You've got this Carrie! Hold your head up high!
herniated disc would be one of the first things I'd expect with back pain triggered by lifting
It's something I have delt with before just not at this level. Thank you for watching! I now have more knowledge to move forward by recognizing this as a disc issue! It's way different feeling than other forms of injuries.
Searching for those core exercises you mentioned on the channel?
I feel your pain im on 12 weeks non weight bearing misdiagnosed Anteria Tib stress fracture.6 months of being told its my glutes not firing and shin splints 😭 on the right path now 👍Glad you are feeling so much better.
I am so sorry to hear you were misdiagnosed too! Here is a link to the newest video on the McGill 3: czcams.com/video/sIwLHdRTrW4/video.html
Sending you healing vibes! I am glad you are on the right track!
So frustrating
I’m glad you’re better coach Morgan but honestly from the start of the video it screamed disc problems..what I honestly think is a great take from this video..and I’ve always believed..amateur/professional athletes know their bodies better than the average person - especially when it comes to pain…we know generally that it was our activities that caused the problem..your own instincts are the BEST place to start when it comes to diagnoses …the medical practitioners…especially if inexperienced..are diagnosing from a script..
That's not Coach Morgan!! That's Liz! The most beautiful running Goddess herself!
Thank you so much! I agree! Our instincts are the best place to start! Thank you for watching! - Coach Liz 😉

Happens more often than not.
I have something similar to that, but the pain is more in the morning. It comes and goes.
Mine still comes and goes as long as I am stretching after every run and doing a thorough warm-up prior I seem to be doing pretty good. I hope yours gets better!
Are you back to deadlifting? Another advice. Make sure you use your feet more when deadlifting or squatting. Funny thing to say to a runner right lol. When deadlifting or squats make sure 99% or 100% of the pressure is on your feet/leg never your back. Brace your core like your about to get hit and if you struggled to lift the weight then go lighter. It's better not to lift than lifting with poor technique. Stay strong and keep up the good work 👏
I prefer single leg deadlifts with dumbbells. I think that way there’s more challenge for the glute and hamstring you’re working while less load on the back. The added challenge to balance and stabilise yourself is probably beneficial as well - feels good to do them barefoot.
To be honest, I was trying to lift too heavy too soon. That was my true mistake. I think I let my ego get involved too much.
I’m back to deadlifts but very lightweights and utilizing the single leg kickstand DL to start.
"However, CT scans and X-rays use low doses-too low to damage eggs and sperm, even if the reproductive organs are directly exposed. In addition, there’s no evidence that low-dose radiation increases the risk of a miscarriage or birth defect." - American Health imaging
"The amount of radiation used during a CT scan is considered minimal; therefore, the risk for radiation exposure is low." - Stanford medicine
CT scans have radiation equivalent to 300-600 regular X-rays. For anyone who wants to conform that, ask your favorite AI, youll be shocked. So I agree with what you stated about that in this video.

If you were recovering, why would you sign up of that amount of races? Back busted, low energy, no period. And still doing a billion races. Dont blame the coaches or the doctors. Blame yourself
I signed up for those races when I was still healthy or thinking I was. I would not have signed up for the races. Had I known I was dealing with low energy availability. I’m not blaming anybody but myself here I’m only mentioning that to get help and get what you really need so that you can start your healing journey. You need to advocate for yourself.
