Experienced runners do more than just log miles. They sprinkle in strength-training and mobility work, and they also prioritize recovery. This is because the effort you put into your runs is only part of the equation. How you recover determines how your body responds to running.

Morris finished the film. So Herzog boiled his leather boot with garlic and herbs, softened it as much as possible, sliced it up, and ate it onstage in front of an audience. The whole thing was filmed by Les Blank. It’s absurd, uncomfortable, and yet strangely beautiful. Commitment Has Teeth We love to talk about commitment when it feels aspirational. We are less enthusiastic when it becomes chewy. Herzog…
