    Does anyone have the link for the video on doing the lace lock when tying your shoes? I know it was posted a while back, but I just can't seem to find it. I thought someone on here might have it handy.

    Not sure if this would be the exact link, but it may suffice.

    Google "heel lock lacing" and you should find lots of info.

    Long run today was pretty good. A bit chilly with the wind off the lake, but sure beats negative temps. There was a nice sunrise that I glimpsed on the way (those early runners saw a great one over the lake) and the sun was out for most of it. Got home and took the dog out for a long walk because the rain is coming. Now my legs are feeling a little jello-like and it's time for lunch and nap - the best time of the week is here!

    Thanks for posting this! I'm definitely a "glider" and it's nice to know I'm not just terrible at running! I think in my case it was a natural adaptation for putting less pressure on my knee, which doesn't like impact from big air time.

    I am definitely a glider, and I was taught to be one back in high school many decades ago. Never heard it called that before someone mentioned it to me on Facebook the other day. To me, it was always "the right way to run distance" which was different from "the right way to run fast" :D

    :open_mouth: We need to hear more of that story, @PastorVincent.

    *shrugs*

    Not a very exciting story... just have a hole in my spine and all that. So what happens is my hip is not stable, and it shifts to pinch the syntactic nerve - which pretty much shuts down my leg in a very painful way. Part of the reason I run, and run hills, is because it is only my muscles that are holding the hip in place. The spine is not doing its job due to the hole. Blah blah blah and all that :)

    Someday it may stop me, but for now, a very cool PT helped me learn to cope and I can walk.... and RUN! :D Before that 6 months of PT there were days I could not walk unassisted. I have to do what the PT taught me multiple times a day, but it is a small price to pay for the ability to walk.

    So, yeah, we all have our own challenges to overcome, what matters is that you keep going despite them. :)

    That's a pretty steep challenge. Hugs and kudos for your efforts.

    @KeepRunningFatboy I've been looking for this on Strava. If it's not on Strava, it didn't happen!

    How is there a hole in your spine? Like spina bifida? Or meaning where the nerve root exits it is compressed, like stenosis or an extrusion? Sounds horrible. Is it not operable?

    Nerve compression will cause permanent damage. I have it in my left from entrapment at the piriformis level, not spinal. I hope yours never becomes a serious problem. You Google cauda equina syndrome? Yikes! Best wishes man.
