Kobe Bryant has been playing in the NBA for 10 or so years, and he’s still in great shape. He stays durable, injury-free, and effective not by trying to dunk or score on everyone, but by picking his spots in the game to attack and go for the jugular. After slightly tweaking the knee on my last run, I think this would be a good mind-set to adopt for the next two weeks: get the miles in and pick my spots to accelerate, thereby avoiding injury and staying as effective and ache-free as I can.
