Learn what is causing so much tightness and pain in your body and how to reverse it. The solution is simple, and this explanation makes it simple to understand what’s happening.

Cooling down after a hot weather run is crucial to reduce internal stress, shorten recovery time, and protect your performance. Strategies like drinking cold fluids, moving into air-conditioned spaces, using cold towels or ice vests, and immersing in cold water help lower your core temperature, while proper hydration, electrolyte replenishment, and extended recovery periods ensure optimal training outcomes and safety in the heat.

Racing in the heat requires proactive hydration, adjusted pacing, and cooling strategies to manage your core temperature and prevent overheating. By staying mindful of fueling, adapting to conditions, and prioritizing safety, you can perform your best while protecting your long-term progress.

Fascial health is the cornerstone of effective training, uniting muscle growth, force production, cardiovascular health, and mobility to enable pain-free movement and peak performance. By prioritizing fascial recoil, you improve efficiency, reduce injury risk, and unlock your body’s full potential for strength, flexibility, and endurance.
