Running

Given the recent interest in adolescent running this week's HPL seminar seems on-topic for the discussion.

With a child of my own interested in running a marathon, I researched marathon training programs for youth in the US (there are some!), injury rates and how these compare to high school running programs.

I’ve had some form of Achilles tendinitis for a couple years now. I had gotten to the point where I could do about 60 minutes of running pain free this year, but that darn pain came back out of the blue this past month.

I’m taking my volume way down and trying to do isometric exercises to build up my tendon, but I still need to do SOME type of cardio. I was hoping to do an Olympic triathlon next year and need to continue building my base to have any chance.

So with that being said, does anyone have any substitute exercises that can get as close to running as possible without putting too much stress on my Achilles? I’ve heard some people suggest the elliptical, but I’m curious if anyone has had success with anything else?

As title says, I started running again after 1 year break and gained weight therefore I'm little bit anxious about overdoing it without being aware of it because risk of injuries.

If anybody has similar experience, I would love to hear it!!!

With this initiative, Chicago follows Paris' lead [though it makes their use optical]

A free-running community has been targeted again for allowing trans women to compete in the women’s category.

Parkrun is a global organization with events each Saturday and Sunday in more than 20 countries around the world, according to its website. It offers several different distances for people to participate in.

The organization allows participants to allow people to identify with their gender instead of the sex assigned at birth. It also allows a range of options for people who identify as nonbinary.

Have heard a few reports that it felt hot on the course today. How did you find it if you ran it? Will you run again next year?

Weymouth parkrun has canceled its Aug. 22 and Aug. 29 events after reports of participants making contact while passing each other on the course. Some were tripped, the organizing team said. Capping the field is not an option available to it, because parkrun’s guidance for volunteers states that its events are unable to limit participation numbers.

Hi, I'm looking for recommendations for a head-mounted (ideally 360) camera that can do sound as well for runs <1 hour. In addition to being able to record a great run, I'd especially like to have this to capture the dangerous conditions we (USA) runners are exposed to by unsafe drivers, I plan to submit a montage of footage to our local city in hopes of driving some action and accountability to improve pedestrian safety.

TIA

There’s no question that Google’s GPS accuracy improvements here are incredibly impressive. In my mind, this is a very similar generational leap in GPS accuracy to what we saw about 3-4 years ago when Garmin introduced multi-band GNSS on their Fenix 7 devices. It would be years before competitors got anywhere in the same ballpark as that (and even then, I’d argue only one or two other watches can get close to Garmin’s current multi-band GPS accuracy). Now, Google has very clearly taken the lead, at least when it comes to post-processed tracks.
