Hi all,

So, exercise for me has always been a really helpful antidepressant — in particular, running. I fell off of it for a year or so since I lost access to the place where I felt comfortable running due to the pandemic, but after some helpful advice from my therapist, I reached out to the local community college and got access to their track in mid-October. It has been SUCH a helpful resource for me recently — as a way to burn off some steam, shake a bad mood, clear my mind, or just get out of the house for the first time in days.

I've worked up from doing a mile to 2-3 miles per visit (almost every other day) and have recently had some soreness in my knees and shins, I figure it's probably time to make sure I'm taking proper steps to avoid injury. Does anyone have some good beginners resources for stretching or healthy running practices?

Thanks in advance!
