Today I came across something cool. Was out on a shorter run because all the snow that has come down in the last 3-4 days makes running really difficult. The ground is uneven, the snow is soft. The feet stumble forward more than anything. Well, it trains all the small muscles in the feet that look after [ ... ] ...
As a running coach and writer, I get a lot of questions about running. Sometimes, people already know the answer to their running questions before they even ask the question - but they basically want to hear confirmation from another runner.
