Cathy Fieseler
Each week our medical expert, Dr. Cathy Fieseler, will select some of your questions to answer and the responses will be posted on the Running Times web forum.
Dr. Fieseler attended college and medical school at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. She currently is the director of Sports Medicine in the Trinity Mother Frances Health System in Tyler, TX. She provides medical care for many local high school, college and recreational athletes. In addition, she is the chairperson of the Road Runners Club of America Sports Medicine Committee and is on the Board of Directors of the American Medical Athletic Association.
Somehow in the midst of this very crowded schedule, Dr. Fieseler has found the time to compete in numerous marathons and ultramarathons. Running Times is thrilled to have her as part of the RT Ask the Experts team.
