“We do tend to do things we are good at. But we also need to do things we are bad at. Because we are bad at them means we might need to do them more.”“While you won't kick your butt in a race butt kicks are great for stability, not landing side to side, uphill adds strength.”

Work + Rest + Recovery = Training, not work + work + work. This means that when you go hard or long on a run, you need to properly recover.
Supplements! They polarise and divide the endurance sports and running community. Some people love em, so people don’t - I personally like them for many reasons and… maybe you should consider them in your recovery routine if you don’t already.
Disclaimer - Take these if you’re healthy and consult with a medical professional. this is all for fun. this doesn’t replace real food.
