Ben says:He has heard that running in the cold (below the freezing point) is bad for the joints and the knees. Is this true? He does it and it seems to be doable.

In my response I recommend: -Phenocane and Capraflex Pack How To Heal Head Injuries As Fast As Possible

Billy says:He was on a trail run when he tripped and hit his head on a rock and now he has a concussion. Do you have any advice on how to heal his head in time for a race in January?
