I came across this old thread... and i think now i understand why those girl in the video run with their arm swing outward.
I believe i read or saw it somewhere that running the 800m or similar distance you should make urself BIG to avoid people catching up and overtake from behind.

so with arm swing like that... people from behind have to literally go around you in order to over take.


just to reply myself...with this not sure correct or not knowledge.

maybe at key points within a race, especially towards the finish. but no one is going to run with deliberately excessive inefficient arm swing for an entire race, with the idea that it'll make people run around them.

from what I know, running big has more to do with hogging up the most efficient portions of a lane, especially on turns & especially when someone is trying to pass. if they are trying to pass, you can speed up a little and force them out wider, so that they have to cover more distance to pass. if they fail to pass, they've just wasted extra energy & added more distance to their race.

Good showing by BOS. Had they not missed so many layups/dunks etc, would have been very close. That's going to give them more confidence heading back home.

Good point. Game 5 going to be very interesting.

I hope James learns one thing from the last two games and that's to be a scorer and facilitator and not chase the rebounds. He can conserve so much energy that way.

yup

though, i think game 2 might have been different had LEBRON not taken that hit. IMHO, that was a nasty hit. It seemed to really shake him & changed the rhythm of the team. He already had like 25 points in the 1st quarter or something lmao. 30+ by the 2nd? Then boom. He was "off" after that hit.

I already foresee LEBRON walking off the court in game 6, intense AF, no talking, BOS fans silent, just confident after the steal.

Not overly excited about the officiating. I feel like there were a ton of just bad calls that killed momentum swings. On both sides but particularly Boston's. Specifically on Tatum. A few I just shook my head on. Still, like mentioned, if Boston hits the gimmes...

yup, tons of sh*t calls.

they really need to fix this review process.. clearly off Love. Have to be able to get that call right with a little over 2 minutes left.

come on.

slowly going back through my journal for 2018 & filling out my progress tracker.

need to settle on some "formats" for various things.. but starting to enjoy it. I think i'll eventually get it completely filled out & maintain it.

lots of good stuff happening after i've added in hilly long runs..

CLE need to put another 10 points between them and BOS. I wouldn't want to be going into the final minutes with it too close.

BOS creeped back in it!

It may not be worth tracking b/c i have only a week left on this cut but i just thoguht of a really good morning stat to track - how many steps on my band at waking. My reasoning is, if ive slept well thru the night, then i'll have zero steps b/c i didnt wake up to go to the bathroom etc during the night. IF i woke up, i prob didnt have uninterrupted sleep.

lol.. that's good. nice.

The level of difficulty on some of these LEBRON fade-aways/step back J's, especially off the "wrong foot", is really nuts.

A step back J off of his right foot, man that is not easy. That's a near impossible shot for most people (step back J on the "off foot").

Poor Rozier. He's absolutely ballin`, but keeps getting caught up playing D on LEBRON who is really just manhandling him (as expected).

BOS really bringing it though.. turning out to be a solid game.

LEBRON is very efficient tonight.
