SUPER PRACTICAL - MAY 2025
Quick, actionable steps from studies I shared this month.
Each item in the list has a link to the original newsletter with all the details and related research. Just click on the DO, MAYBE, or DON’T.
My top 3 from MAY
DO: Dynamic stretching before running. Including moderate-duration dynamic stretching (60s per leg) after a short run warm-up can improve running economy and performance in recreational runners.
MAYBE: Avoid exercising within 4 hours of bedtime. Strenuous evening exercise, especially when performed within 4h of sleep, negatively impacts sleep onset, duration, quality, and autonomic recovery.
DON’T: Neglect your oral health as an athlete. Frequent carbohydrate intake, particularly sugars, common in sports diets can significantly raise the risk of dental caries and periodontal disease in athletes.
