How can you NOT injure yourself?

I will share my personal experiences with running but it probably can be said about any kind of training whether lifting or running or swimming or biking, ect. As…

Sodium
So what is the verdict with sodium and if you exercise and sweat heavily? I usually stay under my sodium goals (2500 mg per MFP) or if I go over not too much.

But while I am in the calorie deficit mode, does it hurt to do light…
