Enter your professional bio here : Cindy Kuzma is a freelance writer, author, and podcaster in Chicago. She first moved there to earn her master's degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. Once she saw the Lakefront Trail, she decided to stay. There, she's trained for and completed 23 marathons, including seven in Boston. Her six years working for medical journals taught her the way around a research paper; now, she's fascinated by exercise science and how findings in the lab can help everyday athletes improve their performance, prevent injury, and live healthier lives. She also writes frequently about elite runners and Paralympic competitors; everyday athletes accomplishing extraordinary things; health and medical news; and the active community in Chicago, where winter forges deep bonds between those brave enough to train through it. Cindy writes regularly for Runner's World, SELF, The New York Times, and more. She's also written for Chicago magazine, Women's Running magazine, WebMD, Men's Health, University of Illinois alumni publications, Outside online, Health.com, EatingWell, Women's Health, Prevention, VICE, USA Today magazines, and many other digital and print outlets. She also has audio experience—she's contributed to podcasts for Runner's World and now co-hosts The Injured Athletes Club podcast, as well as helping launch Starting Line 1928, an oral history podcast preserving women's running history. Her latest book Breakthrough Women's Running: Dream Big and Train Smart, with Neely Spence Gracey, was published in 2022 by Human Kinetics. Her previous book, Rebound: Train Your Mind to Bounce Back Stronger from Sports Injuries, with mental skills coach Carrie Jackson, came out in 2019, from Bloomsbury Sport. Together, they host The Injured Athletes Club podcast and moderate The Injured Athletes Club Facebook group. https://www.runnersworld.com/author/210065/cindy-kuzma/ https://www.self.com/contributor/cindy-kuzma https://www.nytimes.com/by/cindy-kuzma https://www.chicagomag.com/contributor/cindy-kuzma/ https://www.womensrunning.com/byline/cindy-kuzma/ https://www.menshealth.com/author/210065/cindy-kuzma/ https://www.outsideonline.com/2387691/cindy-kuzma https://tonic.vice.com/en_us/contributor/cindy-kuzma https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-runners-world-show/id1098195654 https://injuredathletesclub.com/podcast/ https://www.startingline1928.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Breakthrough-Womens-Running-Dream-Train-ebook/dp/B09NQY4KRZ https://bloomsbury.com/us/rebound-9781472961419/ http://www.carriecheadle.com/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/TheInjuredAthletesClub/
