It was years ago that I read a study of runners and injuries. I have not been able to find it again. But it said something that I use in my practice all the time. Apparently, the main cause of injuries to runners was not mileage. And stretching did not prevent injuries either. It seems strides were the main cause of all running injuries. That you should not do sprints at the end of a long run.

Personal experience has shown this to be true. I do the FIFA 11+ as a warmup. When I add in speed work, I start to get problems with my shins and plantar. I keep my speed work separate and I have had no issues at 56.

Small tip: for a more relaxed night of sleep keep your hands open as you doze off.

I’m an advocate of “slow medicine.” A colleague of mine, an MD, used to work with AIDS patients at the height of the crisis. She would get deeply involved in her patients health. She worked “only” as a primary care doctor. But was passionate in her calling. She got better results/outcomes than the Infectious Disease specialists.
While fast medicine has its place, so does fast food. But the majority of us prefer slower medicine and slower food.

The bacteria are found in raw seafood, like oysters, and warm, brackish waters. Climate change may increase the risk of infections from the deadly bacteria farther north.

This is great and highly effective workout for stress. You should only do it 2-3 times a week and build into it gradually.
