Regarding chafing, the advice I've been given is

"But she don't use butter

And she don't use cheese

She don't use jelly

Or any of these, She uses Vaseline

I’ve found the right amount of vaseline on any part of my body that moves is statistically a shit metric ton for the long runs. That seems to avoid any unpleasantness post-run. Any reason to switch to something other than vaseline?

Hi there. Post long run question. How soon after the run should I consider having my big bertha take my legs on a foam rolling date? Immediately? Within an hour? Wait a bit? Thanxxxx
I was doing too much at once and broke a toe on the stairs the other day. Any exercise tips? How does aqua jogging work, do you jog on the bottom, or is it more like treading water? ( I am not much of a swimmer.) How soon do folks typically get back to running after a broken toe? It is the end of the third toe if that matters. Thanks for everything and sorry for the novel!
