AM: 5 miles easy. GC-WP-FG-PW
PM: On a recommendation by Luke Nelson I drove up to Pocatello to go to his esteemed colleague Jenny something or other at Superior Physical Therapy. I went there to get an assessment on my legs. She ran me through a battery of tests to see all the mechanical and muscular issues I have. It took 1.5 hours to get it all sorted out. I thought the tests were very interesting and will likely be very helpful in correcting my problems (running related). Some highlights: My left leg is weak My left leg is 2-3 cm longer than the right I heel strike a bit too much My cadence is good My right foot splays out a bit No major pronation issues The big problems were my ratio of Extensors from right to left was 7% My Flexors were 19% My Abductors were 22% My Adductors were 38% So not very balanced at all. I have lots of exercises to work on it. I decided that since I was in Pocatello, I might as well go run for a bit on their trails. I headed up City Creek Trail for 3.5 miles (then back of course). The trail is very windy and shady. Perfect. Got home late. Quite the night. 1 mile on treadmill doing video of me running 7 miles on trail - 61 mins 1150' vert
