    I love Zombies Run!! It's what got me started & keeps me coming back.

    Hey there runner 5! Stay safe out there :) are you in the Halloween mission?

    I use a foam roller. It helps a lot with tightness in my quads and hamstrings.

    Holy cow I feel like I discovered something!!.. my run today was rough, which I figured it would be as it took almost a week after the 5k to not be in any pain, and I have some lingering numbness I can feel in my one foot... after the 5k last week my calf muscles were so tight! I just tried massaging my calf and the numbness jolted my foot! When I rub my calfs I feel numbness intensify! My first thought is a foam roller, would that be a good idea? I've never used one but I'm trying to think of something to help

    A foam roller is on my list of essential gear. It has helped my calves like nothing else.

    I highly recommend this one: https://www.tptherapy.com/category/grid_rollers

    I also have several hand held ones I use every day.
