| Exercise -Running | Behavioral | At baseline participants will wear a Fitbit for one week and attend the Runner's Assessment. After this the participant will begin to run 3 times per week for eight weeks. Every week, participation in a virtual support group with the physical therapist, research coordinator, and other research staff will be expected. Rest-activity cycles' data will be monitored; if at any point the runner is not able to complete 3 runs per week, participants will be encouraged to contact research staff the issues for this (such as medical problem or scheduling difficulty) and formulate plans to remediate the situation. Participants that would like to continue the treatment for an additional eight weeks will have additional data collected. Participants will also wear the Fitbit through-out the study and complete surveys during the study and have blood drawn. |
