Running

Thank Feck it's not just me - I reckon the calculation must be more to do with flexibility, had a go with some mates last night and the most flexible can actually touch his toes and came out hitting his real and calculated age spot on. Was well impressed. I have really tight hamstrings and can barely touch my knees. I still won't be buying their supplements though!

I can nearly touch the floor with a fist and it still put my joint age 23 above, right crock of shit that site

I don't think so. I can touch my palms to the floor and I still got a "you're fucked, buy our supplements" result.

I can only just touch the floor (after some serious warming up and lots of grunting) and I seem to have come out about the youngest on here...

i was all into fiinding out my joint age but im just not giving another company i care fuck all about my details. so there. reckon my joint age is 30. and i can touch the walls with the palms of my hands.

So what else did you put in? Creaky neck. Sore spine?
All my shit was pretty healthy and they still tried to get me buying their shit.

I knocked 3 years off my age. And that was done by telling porkies on every single question.

sweet. turns out i have a joint age of 41, 11 years over my actual.

My running technique is completely uneven. My stride is all over powered to the right - check out my trainers, i'm left foot heel striking all the time because it can't keep up with the right.

My left leg is always tired and can never recover in time, any ideas what I can do to fix this?

Orthotics might help. Find a podiatrist and have a chat about it.

My marathon is this weekend. I'm hoping to complete it in 4 hours but I'll settle for 4.17 which was last year's time.

feck in hell, that is heal striking. defo see a pro bout that, eek!

thinking about changing footwear, would there be any real benefit of going "barefoot" with something like the NB Minimus or Nike Free etc?

yeah i've changed down my asics to a more neutral shoe and employed some 'zen' running techniques.

But the right leg has become so dominative the left can't keep up

Run in clockwise circles?

Also, good old squats and deadlifts can do a suprising amount to fix leg/foot alignment issues and muscle imbalances.

only if you change your running style to a mid/front foot landing rather than a heel strike.

You definitly need to hit the gym and balance out the strength in your legs. I'd talk to a physio about it before just steaming in though. You dont want to make the left leg heavier as well as slower.

Would like to do Greensands, but doing Amsterdam Mara this weekend - with my 63 yr old joints. Did 91 miles running last week - cramming as hadn't bothered training - cramming works for running, right?

Bound to work, do all your running homework on the bus.
Have fun in Amsterdam, should be nice and flat!
