South Eugene - Tugman to Rexius + around Rexius

March 17, 2020 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: sunny, nice

Comments:
Had a GREAT PT session this morning (and my last). What we learned:

* when I run "normal", my arm swing is janky AND my trunk sidebends both way (L>>R) AND I have TERRIBLE trendelenburg (hip drop) on the LEFT (only)

* when I run with shoulder blades AND elbow straight back: no trunk sidebend...but pelvis still sucks...

Jeff worked on my shoulder blade, doing a mob that's never been done on me (streching serratus), which made the arm swing way easier.

So even though I was sore from yesterday's run, I drove to South Eugene to link up with CA and Alexis, who were doing Baldies. I watched their last half-mile of the tempo, then jogged back with them.

Stopping back at the van, we did more filming to confirm:

1. Nothing:
* TERRIBLE hip drop L
* side to side trunk
* shitty arm swing

2. Arm swing
* trunk is much better
* hip drop is still pretty bad

3. Arm swing PLUS "pelvis forward" (with R pushoff: R "hip" goes back", L "hip"/pelvis goes forward)
* 80% better hip drop!

Ran another 2mi with CA working on this.

SUPER-encouraging day!

(Except covid19 stuff...)
