kinda SFL .. Tampa and such.

think i've posted about Mott before. His gf just won the pittsburg marathon (2:32:38, elite).

one of the fastest guys in all of FL.

Days before his high school graduation, Jon Mott sneaked off to a dugout in the baseball stadium. There, he stripped down to a pair of track flats, pulled a ski mask over his face, and dashed to the nearby football stadium, where a Vikings intrasquad game was being held before the entire student body.

"I can't believe how well it worked," Jon recalled. "I literally hopped the fence, (ran) clear straight through the middle of a play, and the fans were going crazy."

With football players in pursuit, Jon scaled a fence — naked, mind you — and made it to his buddy's getaway car in an adjacent neighborhood. They got about two blocks before four cop cars surrounded them. Jon was banned from the prom and Northeast's graduation ceremony. His twin brother picked up his diploma.

"After I graduated with my undergrad and I was done running for college, that's when I decided I was healthy," he said. "And I started running as much as my body could handle."

As part of the general movement assessment the physio asked me to jump. I thwacked my head hard on the ceiling. He was like "Oh shit, no one's ever done that before! Epic jump!"

Been feeling somewhat down for the last couple weeks and not being able to run has been a contributing factor for sure. Feeling a lot better after last couple of days and have managed to change my mindset, for now at least, in a positive way.

Saw physio today, discussed whether a scan would be useful and he thinks not. Took recordings of me running short distances (mild pain gone shortly after from this) and that made fairly clear the issue. Left leg moves great, straight forward, sturdy landing, but right leg is just super floppy and lands terribly. He thinks the way to fix that is strengthening, esp glutes. Seems reasonable to me. Right leg seemed to be moving more "correctly" the faster I ran.

Makes me think that just doing regular strides/hill running without any "easy running" for a while might actually be sensible? These things cause minimal pain because they're either low impact or just involve fewer impacts than a proper run, and they seem like the most specific way to improve strength for running. Thoughts? I guess running drills would also be useful?

ya relaxed speed seems to fix lots of issues that we see in slower running. then eventually slower running improves.

like you said the other day too, you can always throw strides into your light runs to get those better movement patterns firing. hit a stride, then try and lock into that "better form" and incorporate into the slower paced running.

as for the floppiness, i think it'll improve. if you just keep focusing on staying healthy and keep getting the miles in (mix of speed & light), it should improve. but ya, speed will teach it better how not to be floppy.

LEBRON.

ez work. insane fade in the 3rd. some awesome passes. JR/Love lighting it up. Hill with some nice dunks.

CLE is rolling.

Hope BOS/CLE goes 7 but this is starting to look like the CLE juggernaut is back, at least in the East.

damn! so you definitely broke it?

i got punched in the nose with the palm once, bled like crazy too but luckily it didn't break.

#contactSports :ninja:

also that really sucks about the elbow tendinitis. that made me stop playing tennis. it got so bad i just stopped completely and never went back. took forever to heal. running actually helped it alot i think. tennis really f'd me up come to think of it: hip reinjured, hand/knuckle tendinitis, elbow tendinitis.

damn heal up man!!

cramping = none
morning quad flexibility = tight
morning hamstring flexibility = loose
morning calf flexibility = very tight
morning adductor flexibility = loose

found this, Taravella H.S. records:

The first place kid (Normil) is really fast, raced with him twice at the Tamarac Turkey Trot. Last year he hit 16:40ish or something IIRC. His 400/800/1600 on here are beast:

i watched the last ~8 km of prague, when he was battling with sisay and then just dusted him with like two miles to go. opened up an 80-100m lead and that was all she wrote.

awesome.

he puked immediately after finishing, too. it was funny: big smile with arms raised as he crossed the finish line, spit, a few steps to the right, puke.

haha i didn't see the puke. i saw all of the big smile photos, figured he was unphased from those photos.
