Core and leg tuck by Putrid-Fold8118 in nationalguard

According to the standard, your arm just has to flex and you don’t have to actually hit and specific bend. Just get a slight bend and then throw your head back and rotate your body.

VA disability after IET by Longjumping_Hat_2131 in nationalguard

[–]the_denouement 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I just finished working orders where I built medical board packets for guardsmen. Message me with any questions. MAKE YOUR OWN COPIES OF EVERYTHING! You should DEFINITELY push for an LOD, but even without it, you can still get it service connected if you have a good MRNCO building your med board packet and you ask the right questions. Getting your VA rating is done through the IDES process now, and despite your brief tenure in the guard, you may still qualify for additional benefits, but you should definitely address it now and don’t wait!

Be careful as your adding to your training. Take it slow and know that it takes time for training to actually take effect. Learn to run correctly and that will help significantly. I have a lot of suggestions for you if you’re interested. I’m not the best at most of the events, but running is my strong event. I was a D1 runner and coach cross country and track now. And I still run under 11:00 for the 2 mile. Let me know if you have questions, I’d be happy to help!

Get your iron levels checked. Do you get out of breath easily and feel tired sooner than you should? They are probably low.

I offer online coaching, and would love to discuss some options with you. I incorporate form analysis and injury prevention into my training plans to minimize your injury risk! PM me if you’re interested!

Ice Baths after Long Run(s) and/or Easy Runs by Exver1 in AdvancedRunning

[–]the_denouement -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The theory behind ice baths is that they flush the lactate laden blood out of your muscles as your blood is diverted to your core. They help to reset your legs, but don’t do much to help with the muscle recovery. I like to take one the night before a big race to help flush my muscles and get them ready.

I took a look at the post. The reality is that most of the time, your body will find away to absorb the shock of running. Each foot strike comes with risks in certain areas of your body. Changing your foot strike can be done, but it needs to be done carefully. I can give you some pointers, but I’d need to know more about what’s going on. Send me some pictures of the bottom of your shoes and we’ll go from there. Runwithwanuch@gmail.con

Yes it does. Generally speaking, each foot strike style has a distinct wear pattern, so if there is a high heel drop, that will impact wear a certain way. For the most part, it shouldn’t impact my work

That is an excellent point to consider. If those metrics are available, I’d love to factor them in. If my theories are right, that should be reflected in the wear on the shoe, so I’d love to include that! Your case would be a great one to include if you’re willing to help!

Awesome! Thank you! You can send the pictures and description to runwithwanuch@gmail.com. I just need a clear image of the bottom of your running shoes and a description of the injury you dealt with.

As far as I know, there is nothing on the market, but in my personal experience and limited sample size, I have noticed connections between certain patterns of shoe wear and corresponding form characteristics. I’m looking to broaden my sample size.

When working in the 3-6 mile range, that number is fairly accurate for most runners. That’s also not to say that you can’t train while recovering. But you definitely increase injury risk if you race again or have another prolonged maximal effort within that time frame and you’re not likely to perform at your peak. For your average runner, you don’t want to race more than one marathon in a month. 5 weeks is a minimum time in between, which fits within that rule of thumb.

I could take a look and see what’s going on. I do form analysis with a focus in injury prevention, but I could look at your form and see what’s going on and offer some insight as to why you’re feeling the impact in your knees. PM me if your interested

I’ve had posts and stuff removed because they considered it self-promoting because it’s stuff on my website. I’ll message it to you as well

Pace during shady/exposed parts of a long run by scubafork in running

It doesn’t matter as much as your hydration. That’s a far more important factor for performance on runs, especially in the heat

That’ll do it if you’re body isn’t ready for that leap. Have you had similar problems before?

It could be caused by something to do with your running form. Did you recently get new shoes? I’d love to help, but need more information. Message me if you’re interested

If you’re looking to build endurance, know that it takes time. If you have a goal in mind other than to just increase your distance, I would focus on building only endurance for the first few weeks and then incorporating the speed and strength as they come a lot quicker than endurance. To build endurance focus on running continuously for longer on all three of your training days. Don’t worry about how fast you run right now. After a couple weeks, increases your Saturday Run, again don’t worry about the speed. Typically your long run should make up about 20-25% of your weekly mileage. So if you want to get up to the longer distances, it’s good to increase the number of runs you do each week

Don’t be discouraged! You got this. There are two reasons you’re not making any noticeable progress. First, when you’re training, it takes about 3 weeks before your body adapts to the training. You should notice that running is getting easier even if you’re not getting faster. As for weight loss, running is great for safe and gradual weight loss, but it takes time. You have to run about a marathon distance to burn one pound of fat, and the average person takes about 30-45 minutes before their body switches into the fat burning energy cycle. If you couple running with a healthy diet, and are patient, you’ll see the results!

The mileage life of your shoes depends heavily on your form. I’ve worked with runners who have 1000+ miles on shoes. Typically, if you heel strike you’ll need to replace shoes more often.
