I've run 7500+ miles.

The one thing that made the biggest difference in preventing injuries:

5 minutes warming up.

Here are 13 simple movements you can do in 5 minutes (so you don't get hurt):
🔷 High Knees
🔷 Kicks (bent leg)
🔷 Kicks (straight leg)
🔷 Hip Openers (abduction)
🔷 Hip Closers (adduction)
🔷 Leg Swings (side to side)
🔷 Leg Swings (forward/backward)
🔷 Forward Lunges
🔷 Backward Lunges
🔷 Side to Side Lunges
🔷 Heel Walk
🔷 Toe Walk
🔷 Squats
Do each movement for 20-30 seconds and then ease into your run.

That's it! Thanks for reading my thread.

The most ignored part of your strength training routine:

The groin.

Here’s a simple 6-part routine to help you bulletproof it before it breaks:
Isometric Adductor Squeeze

• Sit or lie down with your legs bent (feet flat on the ground)
• Use a ball, pillow or rolled up towel between your knees
• Squeeze knees together and hold for time

Start with 3 reps of 15 seconds.
Weighted Butterly

• Use something to prop butt up (easier)
• Bend knees and bring the bottoms of feet together
• Weight on knees to gently push knees down

First, try it unweighted using your hands to push down your knees.

Add dumbbells when ready.

Start with 3 sets of 30s

7 strength exercises that’ll make you a stronger, faster, injury-proof runner:
1. Split Squats

Like lunges, but spicier. Great for hip and knee control.

(2-3 sets of 8-12 reps each side)
2. Cossack Squat

Part mobility, part strength, full-leg wake-up call.

(2-3 sets of 8-12 reps each side)

I failed as a runner for decades.

But I've run consistently without injuries over the last 9 years.

Here are the top 52 running tips I could think of: Image
1. Start slow, build gradually. Consistency beats intensity.

2. Warm up with dynamic moves, not static stretches.

3. Easy runs should feel easy, hard runs should feel hard.
4. Don’t skip strength work. Strong runners get fewer injuries.

5. Track progress, not perfection. Show up and improve over time.

6. Invest in moisture-wicking gear to stay dry and avoid chafing.

Love him or hate him…

Andrew Huberman’s optimized day is a game changer.

Here are 11 tactics to help you crush your day: Image
🔷 Hydrate

You tend to get dehydrated at night.

• Drink 16+ ounces of water in the morning
• Add a little sea salt/electrolytes

And delay caffeine consumption for 90-120 minutes after waking to avoid an afternoon crash.

"Hydration is essential for mental performance."
🔷 Cold Exposure

A cold plunge or shower will:

• Increase mental resiliency
• Boost adrenaline helping you wake up
• Increase dopamine to help you tackle your day

Aim for 11+ minutes/week of cold exposure for the best benefits.
