How many of you guys do soft tissue work on yourselves? Like foam rollers, lacrosse balls, or Orb balls?

Also, this tool will changes your life:

Use it with cocoa butter or any other lubricating oil. I use it on my achilles tendon pretty regularly.

Foam roller and trigger point ball. It's a must have combo for me. Also, yoga for flexibility and core strength.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealth out of prosperity.
What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

Let's just say I finished!
Ran the Prairie Fire Half in Wichita 3 weeks ago and did much better in that one.
This was my second ever Half, and I didn't run at all in between the two races. Foolish.
I will say that the Bill Half was waaaaaay more difficult than the Prairie Fire, IMO.

Hey have you guys heard about this Go Ruck thing where you walk/jog/run for distance while carrying a "ruck sack" full of weight? I have a couple of friends who are into it...what do you think about it?

sounds like a pretty mediocre way to get fit while also looking like a complete rough ridin' idiot.

It's like in a backpack, not a man purse or anything...but you still might be right.

yeah, they run around in groups with army backpacks looking like total dipshits.  much more effective less fuckfacey ways to get fit available.  some people love to do culty things though, so there's that.

It's like Bread had rain on his wedding day yesterday.

Cheers, bud  :cheers:

And Mrs. Gooch, if you want to Go Ruck yourself then more power to ya. While not a rucksack, I use a 2L hydration vest on long runs, and can feel I'm putting out slightly more effort . . . a 10-50lb rucksack would be considerably tougher.

Their claim that X miles rucking (or hiking) is > than X miles running is generally true, at least in my experience.  For that matter, walking X miles without a pack is tougher than running X miles.  In theory you're burning the same calories, but walking just takes a lot longer and requires more steps.

I think they are too old, but one has a daughter in some military branch and I think he got into it with her.

I'll be doing my first trail race next month. 11 miler. Pretty excited about doing something a little different. I read that the people who do them tend to be very chill, not so focused on time/splits/PR type stuff, and very well might strike up a conversation with you while running.

Ive run a bunch of trail runs, even some night ones, and your Intel seems about dead on. While you will always have those gung-ho runners trying for trail records and all that, the runs can be really fun and entertaining.

If you can ever do a night trail run I would strongly suggest trying it at least once. Gotta be careful, obviously, but man they are a good time.
