I've been told foam rolling can help with recovery, but I'm not sure where to start. Do I need to buy a specific type of roller? Are there certain areas I should focus on? I've been running 3 times a week for a few months now and I'm still getting used to the aches and pains. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
Hey, congrats on getting into running! For foam rolling, start with a standard density roller and focus on IT band, calves, and quads. YouTube has plenty of tutorials to get you started.
Get a lacrosse ball, not a foam roller. Focus on IT band, calves, and glutes. Don't waste money on fancy stuff.
