When my physical therapist found out I didn’t use a foam roller, she said something I will never forget: “If you want to be a runner, commit to foam rolling every day for the rest of your life.” I bought a foam roller, made myself squeal, and the pain went completely away in three days. I ran through it all, until my hip attacked with wrathful vengeance. My shins got angry, my knees got irritated, my feet were furious. I went through the progression of maladies.
It gets better, then it gets amazing, then it gets transcendent-but at first, everything hurts. I will never forget is just how terrible running can be at first.
On those first runs, I looked and felt like an arthritic rhino. When I first started running in college, I was a 200-pound ex-football player.
