Hello,
I recently started running again and now that I am older (30s) I noticed some things that I’m very curious about:
1) I have a job where a lot of running is required. Is there a smarter way to run where I’m less prone to injury?
2) What is the best recovery after a run? Is it possible to reset the body to go again? This is from a mileage standpoint, can you unwind the clock?
3) Does cross training really help me not get injured? Is swimming more effective than weight training for this?
4) Are sprints or hiking with heavy weight helpful in keeping a good long distance running shape?
Also, are sprints putting the same impact on my body just in a compressed time or do they help with easing off normal wear and tear of my body?
I would appreciate your thoughts.
Just to reiterate- NOT running at all is NOT an option.
