Running With Endurance: Faith, Stewardship, and Training With Purpose

Running With Endurance: Faith, Stewardship, and Training With Purpose explores the intersection of Christian faith, endurance training, and evidence-based clinical care. In this reflective conversation with chiropractor and runner Dr. Elly Salamanca, we discuss running with purpose, injury prevention, strength training for endurance athletes, footwear considerations, and navigating fear-based fitness narratives—including running with PCOS. Rooted in biblical stewardship and identity in Christ, this article emphasizes discipline over motivation, wise load management, and long-term sustainability in both training and life. Ideal for runners, endurance athletes, and Christians seeking a faith-centered, clinically grounded approach to health and performance.
