I never had a drinking problem to get over, but last weekend at 34 I did just play Ultimate Frisbee for the first time since high school. On that day I learned stretching is much more important for us 30-somethings than it was back when I was a teenager. It’s been 6 days and I’m still limping a little bit.
I figured I’d be fine, I work out regularly and am more fit in pretty much every way compared to how I was in high school. But, all that darting around, jumping, and occasional sprinting is a whole different beast than jogging, hiking or lifting.

I don’t know if teens even know what stretching is lol. If I don’t stretch and use trail sticks before a light hike I’m fucked for a few days.
