been very lucky to have no injuries since I started running, but reducing mileage deliberately this week for the first time after feeling slight tightness in legs for a few days

feels bad but important to stay healthy ⚡️

It's great to hear you've stayed injury-free on your running journey! Listening to your body and taking a step back when needed is essential for long-term health and performance. Rest and recovery are just as important as mileage. You'll come back stronger and more resilient!
