Who the hell out there would think, shit I just ran a marathon...that was easy how about lets make it longer lol My feet get tired driving 26 miles. First time I've heard of an Ultra Marathon
whilst you're at it you may as well throw in some mountains along the route (ultra-trail du mont-blanc) or run through the desert (marothon des sables).
there was a 268 mile ultra that passed by really near where i live recently. everyone finished, then one guy decided he was gonna do the route in reverse right away. crazy shit.
adarq - why is your right side so messed up, do you have a limb length discrepancy or something?
my left leg might be slightly longer, my left foot is DEFINITELY bigger, but doubt that's it. i've had all kinds of injuries in the past from playing basketball and such. I also have some issues in my sacral spine (genetic) that have bugged me off and on since I was a teenager. In the end though, I think it's just all of the years of sports, injuries, compensation, and lack of mobility/flexibility training.
I need to stay focused & consistent with mobility & flexibility. I need to see some significant & permanent changes in flexibility/mobility for once. I make some short term gains but it's tough getting those to persist. Some would say then, why bother? Well, I just can't move my joints through a "healthy ROM". I want to see what it feels like to be able to move my body through a healthier range of movement. Maybe it won't be what I think it's all cracked up to be, but I doubt it. I've been "tight as fuck" since ~12-13 years old. I had much better flexibility prior to 12, then out of nowhere my body stiffened up. I could come close to a split (in martial arts), then the next day, I couldn't. Maybe I got hit in the head or something.. ehheh.

have you rolled your plantar fascia with a golf ball - always suprises me how much this makes my whole body feel so much looser.
not recently, but i have in the past. it's definitely helped my feet but I don't recall feeling better throughout.
pc!
. First sub-6 minute mile since tracking runs with my watch.
