Inspiration's great, but don't forget to pace yourself, young one.
You're still running on it? That's your problem right there. Take a full break, kid. I did 30 years ago and it took 6 weeks to heal. You can't rush it. Icing and stretching are just band-aids. Give it time, and don't come back till you're pain-free.
80/20 is okay, but 'Once a Runner' by John L. Parker Jr. is a classic that still resonates with me today.
Amen to that. This isn't a social justice forum. Let's keep the discussion focused on running, not TV reviews.
Strava's good, but don't rely solely on tech. Learn to read signs, ask locals, and develop your sense of direction. It's running, not rocket science.
Winging it can be fun, but it's not always the best use of your time. I've found that a quick internet search for 'best running routes in [city]' usually yields some great options. You can also try looking for local running groups or clubs - they often have routes mapped out and can give you insider tips. Don't rely on chance, do a bit of prep and you'll have a much better run.
