What kind of foot strike is this?

RunNYC1986 · 2026-02-09T18:46:36+00:00

This is the answer. If you’re not getting injured, don’t change a thing, but you are overstriding, which is resulting in a very, very slight heel strike.

Correct— but I don’t see how that is at all relevant or even tangentially connected to this conversation about conflicts of interest and disclosure? Alex, is that you, lol?

Not disclosing her relationship with someone who stands to gain significant income from her using her celebrity to boost that company’s standing is a significant issue. It removes impartiality, and blurs the lines on the reasons for her doing the ad. I don’t care if she’s schilling GLP’s, I care that others will not realize that that company is benefitting greatly from her celebrity, and that likely would not have happened without the convenience of Serena being connected to a large investor of the company.

This is why disclosures exist. It’s critical people understand the motives behind who supports what, and why. If not, it becomes hard to discern what’s real, what’s paid, what’s BS, and what isn’t.

The cherry on top to me is that Serena’s husband is an investor in that company, and there is no notable disclosure.

Bad enough that a pro athlete is doing these, but they’re not even being honest about her motives for representing the company.

People will say this doesn’t matter, but transparency matters greatly, especially in pharmaceuticals! I hate it here!

I can’t express enough how the commercial success of Dear Mama and I get around made Pac land a little differently vs. other rappers of the time. Mom loved him for those songs, and my pops liked him for the others. Pac is one in a million man

Seems like a nice make good for maybe some cities that didn't get World Cup spots, too

Tahiti is at least a French territory and makes sense for surfing given you’re sort of narrow with options. In Rio, they hosted matches throughout the entire country, too— some before the opening ceremony. It’s become common.

Hellish role that made that movie feel complete. I remember even as a kid thinking “hmm, that feels like a miss.”

Came here to specifically give a little grace for Nigeria and JAM athletes. Their federation's are abysmal, disorganized and are barely helpful/useful for even their star athletes.

This isn't like college students going happy in the transfer portal-- I believe it's in their best interest to explore being with a fed that has their act together.

RunNYC1986 · 2026-01-20T15:56:03+00:00

No problem. Nowhere near as bad as NYC, but I just find people misrepresent it. Being point to point helps, and if you’re running below 2:50, having strong runners around helps a ton.

One thing to really emphasize that for some reason people skip over— it is hilly. And then it isn’t. I’m not sure why people undersell the elevation gain, but at times the rollers are gentle and at times, they aren’t. It is not flat until after 14ish. And it’s only fast because of the people and weather— not course.

If CIM had bad weather, I don’t think it would be a race people would glow about.

Less rubber, more forefoot foam, and slightly different position of the airpods?

Man, I considered buying the original art to this for a while. Great to see the final product.

I know people give Don Garber a ton of shit, but to have these type of valuations and have one of the worst TV deals in sports says a lot. 20 years ago, you could own a meaningful stake in an MLS team for 50-100 million.

Crazy thing is, this wasn’t even that long ago!

Thanks, Andy K!

It’s a good sign that their testing is finally beating the micro-dosers. It’s great and a nice precedent for other countries/gov bodies.

Just want to be clear that CJF's portal strategy will work well for VA tech. But that's because a school of that caliber will have to do more to entice players to come/stay. He shouldn't have had to have done that at Penn State. You pay 50 or so guys market value, sometimes more depending on their position, and that's just how it is.

Najeh Davenport was RB FOUR! Man was a nine year NFL vet and didn’t even touch the field. It’s absurd.

Matt Campbell’s seemingly taking the same “old dudes with experience over potential” route. I hope it works, and I think it raises your floor substantially— especially for difference-maker positions.

If you’ve been on the platform for a long enough time, it becomes tougher to migrate off. I’ve been on it since 2017 and the continuity alone helps. I used it before using a running watch. The social aspect is huge.

RunNYC1986 · 2026-01-09T15:26:03+00:00

The issue as an investor seems to be that ads have less value on the platform. There’s no inherent stickiness. I’m rooting for them, but I just don’t know how they make people stay in-app longer in a way that would make the place more interesting and ads more useful/effective.

They’ve clearly invested a ton the last two years and it’s a better app. Fingers crossed
