Running Tip: Pay attention to how your body feels and if there are any differences between your right and left side. Every body is different and it’s important for you to know your body and it’s signals.
This isn’t a complete list, but here are some ideas on questions to think about as you workout:
- Is it easier on one side versus the other?
- Are you tighter on one side?
- Have a better range of motion on one side?
- Is your body trying to whisper something?
- Is it yelling anything??!
Note anything you notice in your running log and check back in with it every time you run or workout.
