[00:00:00] I don’t know if there’s anything I like talking about less than being injured from running, but for most of us, save for the few people who will never get injured somehow, an injury is bound to happen eventually. Most likely because, if you’re like me, you’re pushed a little bit too hard, a little bit too often, and it pushed you over the edge. [00:00:23] So now you find yourself in a place of, I can’t run, I need to take some time off, or I’ve got to reduce my mileage and I can’t get in the normal training volume that I’d like to be getting in while I’m rehabbing this injury. So t ..read more
