A Wednesday upload can only mean one thing, both Nina and I have had a busy week of donut eating and injury prevention. We buckle down and talk about our social media woes (do we need a Tik Tok account?!), the pros and cons of supplementing some runs on a treadmill, and briefly discuss a new study on the effects a tight sports bras can have on your breathing.
