    I’ve never seen these bands so I can’t comment on them. But if what you’re describing is shin splints (sore and sensitive to the touch on the front of the lower leg) then calf compression sleeves can help to prevent it. Also, look up some videos on ‘heel striking’ and try to make sure you aren’t doing that as it can cause knee injury. But first, take a day or two off to recover. Progress will be slow at first so you gotta play the long game when it comes to running.

    One way to send money without really sending “money” is to give them gift cards for the local grocery store. Everyone needs groceries and it often has more of a free gift feel than a charity case feel to it. You could even pass it off as if it’s something you won or received and you’re just passing it along.

    I went to a podiatrist last year because I thought I had a stress fracture (it felt like I was walking on a rubber ball), but after being x-rayed I was told it was metatarsalgia and what I was feeling was inflammation. I got some inserts for my shoes, eased up on the running for a bit, and took some ibuprofen. Earlier this year I ran my second marathon and I signed up for my third next spring. Now I only need ibuprofen when it flares up which is mostly when I get to peak running weeks in my training plan. Running is not out of the question but definitely listen to your body when it tries to tell you that you are overdoing it.





  • I’m a bigger guy (over 200 pounds) who runs marathons so my concern is the cushioning and the impact on my feet. I put a 500 km limit on my running shoes, after that they graduate to walking shoes or general gym shoes. My go-to are Asics, and I wait until a new model comes out and then buy last season’s shoes at a discount, anywhere from $60-$110 for a pair depending on what color I want.



  • First, you should stop or at least ease up on the running to give yourself time to heal. Second, work on your calves and ankle flexibility. Downward dog is a great calf stretch, try to keep your heels on the floor during the stretch. It may take some time to get there if you’re not very flexible. Third, if the pain doesn’t go away then you should see a professional to make sure you don’t have a stress fracture.





  • I’ve got a Eufy RoboVac 30 and until reading this post it didn’t even occur to me to see of there’s an app. Turns out there is, but we’ve never used it and never connected it to our wifi. We just hit the button to turn it on and it works just fine. It came with a remote that we can use to set a schedule but as far as I know it has no way to call home.
