Since my birthday is coming up and I need ideas for presents, please tell me: What piece of gear do you wish you'd bought sooner? And why?

For me it's arm swing. I still suck at it. I sit a lot and for long periods during work and my commute. My arms tend to move very little when I run. But I run so much better every time I do pay attention to it. This is the work of my running group's trainer always shouting to use my arms. 😅 What's something you've picked up from someone else?

This week's challenge: take a proper rest day and do something just for your recovery. Something that has nothing to do with running. Some ideas: - A long bath or sauna - Get a massage - Put those compression boots on - A nap. Just a nap. ✅ Rules 1️⃣ Take one full rest day from running this week. 2️⃣ Do something that helps you recover faster (see ideas above) 3️⃣ Post in this thread: what you did. 4️⃣ Everyone who participates will be entered into the weekly spot prize draw. One winner will be chosen at random. 🎁 Prize: $10 TheFeed gift card or equivalent! 👉 Drop what you got up to below 💙

I had remove my wisdom teeth and my cheecks got swollen now, it's been 2-3 weeks without a good run :( What do you do if you can't run for a while?
