Earlier this week, I bought a couple of things to (hopefully) improve my running experience. First, as I noted yesterday, I bought new running shoes. Second, I ordered a foam roller in hopes of using it to loosen up my injured hip.
Note: I had previously linked to a form roller from Altus Athletic (it was blue) but that one quickly lost its shape, and I had to return it. The one now linked above (and here; made by J Fit) is great – and very durable. Highly recommended.
For now, I’m still trying to figure out how best to use it. I am, however, hoping to have a guest post in the near future from someone who already knows how to put a foam roller to good use (you know who you are!). So… Keep an eye out for that.
Update: Here it is… How and Why to Use a Foam Roller.
