Spoke on Why Runners Get Injured…and Prevention
The featured speaker at the February 15 Open General Meeting of the Greater Long Island Running Club was Heather Williams, the co-owner (with husband Greg Fives) of Northport Physical Therapy, as well as one of Long Island’s premiere runners. Her topic – one of interest to all runners: “Why Runners Get Injured…and how to Prevent it.”
An audience of over 100 enthusiastic runners was on hand for the Meeting, held in the Auditorium of the Plainview-Old Bethpage Public Library.
Heather, an “alumnus” of New York City’s Hospital for Special Surgery, who moved to Long Island a little over a year ago, burned up the local roads in 2010, scoring as the first female finisher overall in the Little Cow Harbor 4 Mile Run, the Southampton 8K, the Long Island Marathon Festival of Races 10K, the Great Bonac 10K, the DIVA Half Marathon, and the Huntington Thanksgiving Day Run.
