Running after amputation isn’t just possible—it’s powerful. In this episode of the Step Up Podcast, Scott and Nate dive into the design, training, and mindset behind running with a prosthesis. They discuss real-world experiences, the difference between daily-use and sport-specific prostheses, and how to overcome both the physical and mental barriers to high-impact movement. You’ll learn what goes into triathlon and running prosthetic design, how to prepare your body for impact, and why access to specialized equipment matters. Whether you’re an amputee athlete, a beginner looking to get active again, or a clinician supporting adaptive training, this episode brings clarity, motivation, and science together.
