It’s funny… So yesterday, I wrote a blog post about my running must-haves (you can read that here). Things I take with me to be comfortable. Ways to make sure I don’t get overwhelmed with the urge to quit—basically, ways to pamper myself. Then last night, I was watching running videos on Tiktok. I came…
Let’s talk about what runners need to become better runners. When the pandemic of 2020 hit (and hit hard), I had already begun working out more at home.
