My dad made me run on wet pavement for track practice
He was a coach back in the 90s and swore running on wet asphalt built character. I slipped and busted my knee open twice before I turned 14. Now as an adult I warm up on dry surfaces for ten minutes before even thinking about wet ground. Did anyone else's parents push some weird training advice that clearly didn't work?

My high school coach made us do suicides on a gravel track to "toughen up our feet." I lost two toenails in one season and still have scars on my heels.
