And through her sharings on social media, interviews, and the work she does as a scientist, her advice is helping runners become better endurance athletes and better humans.

Keely Henninger is a professional trail runner for Altra based out of Portland, Oregon. She is also a scientist in physiology and and biomechanics, where she is doing incredible work uncovering how athletes can treat their body better.
