French runner living in Essex. I ran my 100th marathons and 100th parkrun on the same day. I love dogs, exercise, running, books, art & finance! Maniac #2447.
This week has been horrendous. So I got myself a Leffe and a little bit of space. My myself. Iβm still standing, barely, but still here and I will never give up πͺ
Iβm smiling but really today was a tough day. And yet Iβm lucky I got to run and exercise. Despite the mental struggle. I might not be good enough but Iβm trying my hardest and I will never ever give up.
Strength training is the most underrated injury-prevention tool in endurance sports.
In a meta-analysis of 25 RCTs, strength training reduced sports injury risk by ~68%.
Stretching? No clear protective effect.
