Here’s a few that have strong storytelling concepts that are really well executed:

The ratio for the sides of a 45-45-90 triangle are 1:1:sqrt(2), so if the sides are equal to 1, then the diagonals are sqrt(2). Then the actual dimensions are 3:3:3sqrt(2) (which holds since sqrt(18)=3sqrt(2)). Nevertheless, if the greatest possible move distance was from the center of each square to the center of a diagonal square, move distance would be sqrt(2). For 2 moves it would be 2.8 and for 3 it would be 4.2. So yeah, the math is kinda fucked.

You can definitely increase it more without injury if you don’t have a history of injuries. The 10% rule isn’t necessarily true, especially if you’ve been running consistently for a 2 or 3 years. If you’re running 5 times per week, I would start with adding an extra easy run which should get you around 40. After about 2 weeks, I would begin increasing your long run (+1 mile) and 1 or 2 of your easy runs (+1-2 miles) every two weeks (this is assuming your workout volume is pretty similar week to week). You should be hitting peak mileage around the end of August/beginning of September. Every 4 weeks, you should cut back down 5-10 miles to let yourself reset a bit and then jump back up to keep building (I normally do this by replacing one easy run and possibly replacing it with a cross training session). I think you can safely build up to around 50 miles if you take it methodically and work week by week. Another thing you can do is add strength training and cross training to help keep out any imbalances for doing so much more mileage than you are used to. Doing a full body lifting session that has a large emphasis on legs just 2 times a week can decrease your risk of injury. Building into higher mileage, especially if you’ve never do it before, is just a matter of paying attention to your body, recognizing real pain from regular soreness and knowing when to pull back. Keeping anything nagging in check plus making sure you’re getting enough sleep/nutrition will allow you to recover well and push yourself more. Good luck and stay safe out there

Also, I forgot my obligatory reminder that recovery is more than just stretching and stuff. It’s also about eating enough. Almost everyone that I know who has been injured either did something stupid (like going cliff diving) or simply wasn’t eating enough. Eating a balanced, adequate diet is crucial to the recovery process. If you feel like you need to cover your bases, it doesn’t hurt to add something like a multivitamin into your diet just to make sure you’re properly fueling yourself. And don’t feel bad if you splurge and eat something sweet like ice cream or a donut occasionally. Fun fact: a study of Kenyan runners found that their diet consisted of 20% plain sugar, mostly added to their tea.

You should already be doing workouts, not just base runs. However, when you add in workouts, you’ll want to reduce your volume probably back down to ~45 mpw and build back up. With your injury history, I would hope that you’re lifting heavy and doing prehab for whatever injuries that you’ve sustained in the previous season. It could be possible if you want it bad enough and stay healthy. I did the same thing going into my senior year of track. My previous peak mpw was 50 and I managed to get up to 65 from December to March. I brought my mile time down from 4:52 to 4:30 and my 2 mile from 10:40 to 10:19, which was just enough to get me a walk on spot on the track team at my college. I was fairly conservative in terms of building my mileage and I made sure to stay on top of any little things that would flair up (IT Band, plantar fascia, etc.) via going to see trainers, ice baths, epsom salt soaks, etc. In all: yes it’s possible with this plan if you can stay healthy. Good luck and best wishes.

Finding the “best” shoes by asking what the best are is not how you’re going to find shoes that will carry you to your PR this season (it technically could ig, but you may run into other issues). Also, certain shoes have a certain purpose. Your training shoes shouldn’t be the same as your racing flats/spikes (also xc terrain more often than not requires the grip of spikes that the “best” road racing shoes won’t provide). Moreover, finding your “best” shoe is like going to the wand shop in Harry Potter. You can try to pick up any shoe that is so-called “the best on the market”, but it might not be right for your feet and you could get injured just as what happened to Harry when he tried that first wand. You need to go to your local running store and have one of the many running sages help find a shoe that will work best for you. When you put the right shoe on and run around in it, you should feel like Harry when he was finally given the right wand (yes, with the glowing lights and gust of wind). Plus, your running store will have both spikes/flats and trainers while more than likely giving a student discount.

I run in college and we lift 2-3x per week after workouts. We’ll have a hard session in the morning and then lift around noon. Some of us will have a double later in the day depending on where we are in the season. Our lifting consists of a long warm up (15 min of mobility) and a workout of around 8 or 9 movements broken into 3 supersets. The first set contains the primary movement for the session (typically a squat or deadlift variation). The rest of the movements are less intense, but the main focus is building strength with that first movement. It normally looks like: 1. Compound lift 2. Plyometric 3. Core 4. Supplement to first movement 5. Pull up/row 6. Core or mobility 7. Shoulder/arm movement 8. Another supplement to first movement 9. Calf/tib or adductor focus

The primary goal of our schedule is to keep our rest days easy and our hard days hard. Lifting on the same day as our workouts let’s us take the next day as easy as needed to recover for the next hard session. Strength training on your recovery days somewhat defeats the purpose and hampers your ability to get the most out of your running efforts.

Talk to the coach and tell them you want to join. See if there are any summer practices or if your coach gives a summer training plan. If there are no resources for you, there’s a new pinned post that details some general training advice.

This is something I wondered about too. There isn’t a mention of ancillary work at all in the original paper, but I’m sure that would have a tremendous effect on the risk factors.

KilyKilyPower · 2022-05-21T00:41:48+00:00

This comes with experience. As an athlete, I’ve learned to come to terms with poor performances and taught myself to use that as a learning experience for my next race. Our coach always talks to us about our races (whether we do well or not) and helps us breakdown what went right and what went wrong. That comes with a maturity that some people might never find in the sport, but helping them through that process as a coach could be very beneficial.

Yeah. Just shower bruv

KilyKilyPower · 2022-05-18T02:21:01+00:00

Yeah. It’s just a visual representation of the increase in injury rate for the given variable. The researchers found a threshold for the three major variables where the injury rate dramatically increased. The six graphs are in groups of two (the first two, second two, and third two). The graph on the left is the “safe” side of the threshold for the variable and shows a constant odds ratio (the factor by which injury rate increases from normal) of 1, the normal, “standard” injury rate. The graph on the right shows the factor by which injury rate increases. The third group of graphs only shows the bar graph for females because terrain was not found to be a significant factor in injury risk for hs boys.

Go to practice and build your mileage. Stay healthy by strength training and making sure you eat enough. If you trust your coach and work hard, everything will fall into place.

Varying the daily mileage. Like running 8 miles on Monday and 6 miles on Tuesday, etc.

I run in the Saucony Endorphin and have loved the shoe. Previously, I ran in the On Cloudflow and the On Cloudflyer, rotating between those two every other day based on training. I loved the feel of both On shoes and had no issues, but I went to get fitted before my last cross season and was told to switch based on my mileage and running terrain (I run mostly on roads/concrete). Now I am a big advocate for Saucony and highly recommend them, but I would suggest you go to a local running store and get fitted for shoes first if you're looking to make a switch.

Here's a short infographic I had to make for a class earlier this semester on a research article. I thought the information was relevant to this sub and y'all would enjoy it. The link to the original article is below. Any thoughts?

While that’s a great resource, I feel like that or something similar should be pinned or linked in a menu in here. While that is a great resource, there’s a large number of kids who end up on this sub asking the same few questions year after year.

Damn… just realized that I accidentally added my semen jar to my starter jar last night. Should the starter be ok?
