Warm-ups and cooldowns are vastly over rated and mostly unnecessary for runners doing workouts (e.g harder sessions).
1. Cool downs aren't needed. They do nothing. Go grab a coffee or sit on a coach. Stopping the running and existing is your cool down. 1/
@GregLehman Thanks for all this information! Very informative as a PT who loves to run but rarely warms up. What are the best papers to read regarding this?
There is still a case for "warm-ups" and "cooldowns". They are additional load. They can contribute to fitness and build attributes. If you do hops, skips, jumps, sprints, shuffles, lunges etc then its just another workout but done before you train. Great. Go for it. 10/10
Saints Pier Giorgio Frassati and Carlo Acutis are an invitation to all of us, especially young people, not to squander our lives, but to direct them upwards and make them masterpieces. vatican.va/content/leo-xi…
I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of life and injury caused by the military attack on the Holy Family Catholic Church in #Gaza. I assure the parish community of my spiritual closeness. I commend the souls of the deceased to the loving mercy of Almighty God, and pray for their families and the injured. I renew my call for an immediate ceasefire. Only dialogue and reconciliation can ensure enduring peace!
Nine Catholic men from around the world lived together while studying at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada, guided spiritually by Fr. Raymond de Souza, a columnist for the National Catholic Register. Today, seven of them have either been ordained or are currently in formation for the Catholic priesthood

According to witnesses, Zaniolo seemed under some type of influence when he entered the #ASRoma locker room and attacked two Primavera players.
He pushed Marco Litti against a bench, who was/is recovering from shoulder surgery and struck Mattia Almaviva.
Both players were hospitalized, 21 day prognosis for Litti.
No comment regarding Zaniolo, doesn’t deserve it.

I was chosen, without any merit of my own. Now, with fear and trembling, I come to you as a brother, who desires to be the servant of your faith and joy, walking with you on the path of God’s love, for He wants us all to be united in one family.
Peace be with you all! This is the first greeting spoken by the Risen Christ, the Good Shepherd. I would like this greeting of peace to resound in your hearts, in your families, and among all people, wherever they may be, in every nation and throughout the world.
Our Holy Father Pope Francis has died. I would invite everyone to pray for the repose of his soul. He was a man of simplicity, compassion, and deep concern for those on the margins of our society. Let us thank God for the life and ministry of Pope Francis and let us pray for the Cardinals who will soon gather to choose his successor.
