Ignoring rest
Why It’s Bad: Not paying attention to rest and regeneration, including sleep, massage and nutrition, isn’t unique to runners. “It’s a common mistake for everyone,” says Falsone. The goal of regeneration is to help your body bounce back stronger the next day and stay fresh.
The Fix: Treat your training days and recovery days the same—that is, they’re both equally important in helping you reach your goals. Even five minutes of foam rolling and five minutes of stretching can go a long way in reducing injury risk and maximizing performance.
Cheers and keep running!
