In this episode, Nick Hurff MS, CSCS sits down with Dr. Rachel Popelka PT, DPT to discuss coaching ultra endurance athletes, injury prevention, strength training, the importance of sleep, and so much more. What I love about this conversation, is the passion we shared together for working with athletes. And as a side note, some of the audio is not the best on the episode, however there are so many nuggets of good information packed in here, you want listen to the entire recording.

Dr. Rachel Popelka, PT, DPT is a physical therapist, endurance coach, and lifelong adventurer who helps runners and adventure racers stay strong, recover from injuries, and push their limits without burning out. With over 7 years of experience as a PT and a personal journey from struggling to run a single mile to completing ultramarathons and multi-day expedition races, Rachel blends science-backed rehab with real-world endurance training. Her passion is guiding athletes to not only come back from injury but return stronger, more resilient, and ready for big adventures.
