There was a time when running was everything for me, it was my outlet, my identity, and my way to compete. But over time, the harder I trained, the worse I felt.
I started waking up sore, tired, and frustrated. My back and calves were constantly tight. I was chasing fitness, but losing balance, between training, recovery, and life.
And here’s the truth I learned the hard way: It wasn’t that I was training too little, I was training the wrong way.
As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I could see what was happening on a deeper level. My ribcage and pelvis weren’t aligned, my breathing was off, and my body was compensating in all the wrong places.
That’s when I started rebuilding everything, from the inside out.
I stopped chasing mileage and started focusing on the foundations:
✅ Movement patterns and breathing
✅ Strength that supports running
✅ Stress management and recovery
✅ Fueling and nutrition that keeps the body thriving
I came back stronger. Faster. More resilient.
I started racing at a high level again, without the burnout and injuries that used to hold me back.
That process became what’s now known as The Root Run Recovery Method, a framework built to help serious runners perform their best, not by doing more, but by doing what truly matters.


This isn’t a cookie-cutter plan, it’s a fully customized running program designed around you. Built using the ROOT framework, it matches your goals, schedule, and recovery needs to help you train smarter, not harder. Every run, recovery day, and intensity target is tailored to your physiology and lifestyle, so you can build consistency, stay injury-free, and finally run your best.

You’ll get free access to the ROOT Running Community hosted on the Skool platform, a supportive space for runners who want to learn, grow, and connect. Inside, we share educational topics, training insights, and recovery discussions that keep you accountable and inspired. It’s where guidance meets community, and where runners chasing PRs support each other every step of the way.
“I’ve worked with running coaches before, but this was the first time a plan actually felt like it was built for me. The personalized program matched my schedule perfectly, the runs made sense, recovery was planned, and I wasn’t constantly sore or exhausted. Within the first month, I noticed my pace improving while feeling less beat up. I finally felt like I was training smarter, not harder, and I can’t imagine going back to generic online plans again.”

“I joined the ROOT Running Community expecting a basic forum, but it’s way more than that. The free education alone is worth it, especially the sessions on common running injuries. I’ve battled patellofemoral pain for years, and hearing Dr. Wyatt explain why it happens and how he treats it was unmatched. His unique approach finally helped things start clicking for me. It’s rare to find a space that actually teaches you how to run healthy and stay strong.”
“I grabbed the main offer and added the Movement & Mechanics Deep Dive, best decision I could’ve made. During our call, Verrelle broke down exactly why my hips and back were always tight and showed me how my breathing and rib position were affecting my stride. The personalized corrective routine immediately made my runs smoother, and my recovery times dropped fast. It’s wild how a few small tweaks can make such a big difference. Worth every penny.”
“I wanted real accountability, so I went all in with the full program, weekly Loom check-ins, messaging access, and all. Having Verrelle review my runs, form, and recovery every week kept me consistent and confident. The guidance is next level, it’s like having a doctor, coach, and teammate in one. My workouts are dialed in, my energy’s up, and I’m finally seeing steady progress toward my PR goals. Best investment I’ve made in my running.”
This isn’t another “cookie-cutter” plan you download and forget. It’s a personalized, science-backed approach that blends running, strength, movement, and recovery into one complete system.
Whether your goal is to hit a PR, qualify for a major, or simply feel strong and pain-free again, the ROOT Performance System gives you the roadmap to get there, combining personalized programming, smarter training, and real coaching support from someone who still competes at a high level.
