Greetings Glocal Citizens! I'm back in Accra, hurray for endless summer living! Each year as the summer fades in the northeastern hemisphere, I make my way back to the equatorial region to meet the sun again and recharge my creative self. Similarly, my guest this week, one of my oldest and dearest friends, found her recharge in her relocation from the US to Nairobi, Kenya. Born and raised in New York, Dr. Michelle Donald is an experienced business-minded physician, with expertise in pediatric medicine, preventative medicine and public health, she is passionate about developing and implementing clinical programs that merge technology and healthcare delivery systems to improve health outcomes. In her last role as the Medical Director of Value Based Care at New York's Northwell Health, she established an innovative care model utilizing healthcare analytics, payer data and strategic clinical partnerships to proactively assess and identify vulnerable populations needing medical attention. A trip to Tanzania in 2018 changed the course of her life, it was during that trip that she decided to move to East Africa and develop digital health programs expanding access to quality healthcare. In February of 2020, she resigned from Northwell to pursue her dream of democratizing healthcare for all by building an effective, affordable, digital health platform that can be used to improve care delivery across a variety of health care settings. Michelle is also seeding a social movement that she calls The Ungrind which is an outgrowth of the years-long creative evolution that continues to be her unfolding global lifestyle.

#Ep.1: Welcome to where it all started... the very first episode of RunChatLive, recorded just before a Sunday clinic shift without any planning, using nothing else except a phone...The idea was prompted by my return from a recent trip to Kenya where I had the pleasure of training the staff of a new company set up to provide runners of East Africa with a fantastic, evidence based running hub. Fast forward a year and Run Beyond is in full force in Gigiri, Nairobi, offering Gait Analysis, Running Footwear, Coaching, Strength Training, Physiotherapy and much more.The first few episodes of Runchatlive are just me (Matt Phillips) on a phone, so don't expect much in terms of visual quality! In Episode 8 we start having guests. In this opening episode you will hear me talking about the essential components of a successful Gait Analysis and how we can use it to create a more efficient runner. We look at its benefits in helping runners recover from injury and discuss the potential pitfalls of using it to seek 'perfect' running form or 'prescribing' running shoes.During my time in Kenya, I also had the opportunity of joining the team for a highly enjoyable training session in Karura Forest, under the guidance of legendary Kenyan running coach Jimma'Simba' Beauttah, chief trainer at the IAAF Kip Keino High Performance Training Centre in Eldoret.As coach to elite runners such as Abel Kiprop, Moses Kiptanui and Daniel Komen, Coach 'Simba' has over his thirty years involvement in Kenyan running produced eight World Championship medals, three Olympic medals and two Commonwealth Games medal; a truly inspirational figure with whom I spent many hours chatting and above all listening.And so the mission of Runchatlive began...  to help dispel myth & misconception from the world of running injury and performance. Want to HELP spread the us? If so then please our episodes across social media, especially on Apple Podcasts/iTunes as that really helps us reach new listeners. Thanks in advance and enjoy!Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/runchatlive)
