Can't say that my calves have had the most fun this week as my legs still tend to feel a bit heavy (only while running) but every other part of me is in party mode..... W7 done.... W8, you think my legs are afraid??? .... Creo que no

Happy runnings everyone! 😁

Great job... foam roller or massage will complement the stretches.

Bought foam roller from the lidl run sale just the other day. Will give it a go now. Are you supposed to use immediately after cool down stretches?

I do that stuff at home, so I’m hoping not 😂

Couldn't make out why others had foam rollers were 'uncomfortable'.... I understand now! 😀.... It looks so innocent?!?! 😭😁😊

I think what they actually do is loosen up the layer of (I forget the name of this all the time...I’ll look and edit) that the muscle is wrapped in, in which case cold or warm would make little if any difference.

And yes... they look all sweet and foam can’t hurt right?!

Edit: perimysium!
