Good advice. An active recovery rest day can always be mobility and core work, and your legs are still getting a rest. At 70 and 40 years of running I have 'pledged' to do more mobility. So I follow Chris Dorner on TH-cam and her follow-along classes make it soooooo much easier. 10 mins to 30 mins, just switch on the screen and do it. I'm doing 5 days a week before running and weights sessions, and it really really helps. Thanks Ralph for making us oldies feel were 'still in the game' 👍🙏
Thank you so much. I'm 68. I did some sprinting all out after a long run. I got injured. I went to the physio. I learned that I needed to do more strength training. Injuries are part of the journey. Thank you for your helpful advice. God bless you richly.
Just done Chris Dorners 30 mins Mobility at Home - Loosen Up! If you search for that. A really good one before a run. She almost has too many videos so you have to watch or try to find ones you like. I would start with her playlist of 30 day mobility challenge to build up. Some are only 10 mins! She really nags, I mean promotes, the importance of mobility😅
More good tips Ralph. Good video. I'm doing more of number 3 as I get older. I'm 66 now and have been running for 50+ years. I struggle with my strength work just due to finding time as I watch grandkids 4 days a week and I have a long run and an interval day each week. I'm just this week begining a new trial of doing a 15 minute session 3 days a week. Keep up the good work.
I also struggle getting strength work, but my intentions are good! I hope your 15min/3-day sessions work for you. Thanks for the positive feedback! I appreciate it!
Resistance bands have worked wonders for me in implementing a strength training regimen that's quick, simple & effective, particularly if you're pressed for time. Make it easy, convenient, you can roll up a resistance band in the palm of your hand (so it can travel with you & you can use them anywhere really).
Thank you, that all makes perfect sense. In other areas of life, I like the 2/3 rule (from ancient China). When sick or tired, I flip the ratio and use 1/3, saving 2/3 for getting better. Maybe that will work with running?

Absolutely! I'm going to go check out the Chris Dorner channel. Thanks for sharing!
The 10 days advice seems excellent, I think I am going to try it.
Thank you for the feedback. I hope it works well for you!

Thanks, Freddy, for the feedback. Unfortunately, as you said, injuries happen. I hope yours has improved. Happy running!
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀

Thanks, Jo, for this input. I did a quick search yesterday and wasn’t sure where to start, so this is helpful.

Thanks, Steve, for commenting. I’m not familiar with the 2/3 rule, so I can’t comment on its use with running.

Thanks, Wally, for contributing. Diet is so important to our health.
