Challenge: Day 10
Day 10. Today was back to interval training as my legs are feeling better. My “trainer” Jacob-the-know-it-all, told me that I pulled my soleus because I didn’t warm up first. I said that evolutionarily speaking, I would not have time for a nice warm up jog if I was runningRead more
