Literally every single runner will be able to relate to today’s topic. Whether you’re an Olympian or a brand-new beginner, at some point in your running life, you’ll need to take time out due to injury or illness, and this can be incredibly difficult to manage. Most of us rely on running (at least partially) […]

One thing I’ve learned over the years is that our idea of fun changes over time. Something you used to find fun in your 20s might not sound that appealing to you now, and the same goes when it comes to running. You might be holding onto the belief that running is boring or hard, […]

They’re not barriers as much as they are situations where we need to tread carefully. So, if you want to avoid injuries, chafing, […]
