Something We Learned this Week
If your a runner, your shoes actually may need to recover like your body.
The foam and cushioning in your running shoes may need up to 24 hours between runs in order to fully recover. If the cushion isn’t fully recovered it may lead to injury. Depending how often your running you may even want to invest in a second pair of shoes and have an A/B rotation.
