From Beginner to Dopey: Dr. Leo Kormanik talks with us about Running Form, Shoe Mistakes & Training Hacks Explained - Part 1 | The Bry and Samua Show - Real Talk. No filters. Just Life.

Description

If you’re training for the Disney Dopey Challenge, thinking about running your first race, or just trying to figure out why running hurts so much sometimes… this episode is your new best friend.

In this conversation, Bry & Samua welcome their first official guest — Dr. Leo Kormanik, sports chiropractor, former pro runner, running coach, and host of MindBody Marathon. Together, they break down everything beginner and intermediate runners need to know before stepping into a Disney race weekend.

We cover:
• How to start running without getting injured
• The #1 mistake people make with running shoes
• Running form basics (and why most people run “wrong”)
• Shoe drop vs. stack height — finally explained
• What to do when you’re sore but not injured
• The truth about the Dopey Challenge early mornings
• Training strategies: back-to-back long runs, hills, fartleks & treadmill work
• How to survive the “balloon lady” cutoffs without panicking
• Carbo-loading the right way (and the wrong way Disney suggests)
• Supplements that actually matter during training
• Recovery tools: KT tape, magnesium, compression, hot/cold therapy
• Why trail running might be better than asphalt for your body
• What to pack for race weekend (including things runners ALWAYS forget)

This episode blends expert advice, real-life running stories, and the usual Bry & Samua chaos — so expect coaching gems, Disney race nostalgia, and several hilarious detours (including a ghost story… yes, really).

If you’re training for Dopey, dreaming of your first 5K, or just love running talk mixed with humor and honesty, this one's for you.
