thanks for the confidence, but i've missed two weeks with tendonitis and have run sparingly...yesterday was painful and my first goal is to get healthy for state and FL...yes, it's my senior year and my last shot (and my first shot with my iron up) at state and FL, but this type of injury can last a long time if not corrected. i would have loved to seen what i could do off three weeks of good training before state (esp. dropping from 90 per week to much less) so it stinks--but oh well, nothing i can do about it. good luck to all next week!

t-smallz, you'll do fine. with the right kind of rest and workouts this upcoming week you should win state by 15 seconds.

 

as for me, a 16:27 is what I want

There is a junior who is about 10-20 seconds behind them that is actually running faster than they did last season when these guys were all juniors. he ran 25 seconds faster at TN Classic than HAnnah and Divine did as Juniors and 10 fatser than sorrell.

Derrick Thomas and Jay Meservey from CAK are both very good runners.

 

hmmmm...according to tennesseerunner.com's results these guys haven't even broken 17:00 yet...so why were they mentioned?

 

Alex harris beat Tom divinnie at the metro championship. so where's the love for that guy?

Riley young...well he's a FRESHMAN who very well could win the D2 state. Where's the love for that guy?

 

Chris Berry and Josheph Pair both are amazing. Lets talk about guys who are contenders to win the state meet and not guys who haven't broken 17 yet on a post "Fast Runners"

Tendonitis is no excuse, someone on my team has had it for the past four weeks and yes its painful for him but his times have still been improving. Everyone knows who it is when they hear Todd Smalling and they know that there is no excuse for him to slow down. So just go out and run as hard as you can (no excuses) But good luck to you at state and in FL.

not running harldy at all for a couple weeks and going from 14 miles a day to zilch is going to make me continue to improve like your teammate? i'm taking a different route than normal and do not have the opportunity to try and peak with training. i'm not trying to make excuses though. other runners have gone through and are going through things ten times worse than this. look at ryan sheridan (a soph who made it to FL Nat's then couldn't run for a year with internal problems and injuries). believe me, i'm gonna go all out. look at the physiological aspects and adaptations lost after just 7-10 days off and it stinks, but those are if you are not exercising at all and i have been on the elliptical and the bike (so you're right there). but, simply running through pain (and being able to run and do workouts) is a lot different than not being able to run. tendonitis is not the same in different areas. some tendonitis you can run through and still do well and not run with a different gait. do your research on anterior tibial tendonitis...it can knock guys out for half a year or more and can ruin your career if you take it lightly. you can't run normally because each time your foot hits the ground it hurts and shakes. if you run through too much pain, the next step is a stress fracture.

 

when i ran that 15:16 though, it was off a 93 mile week and lower iron. I wish i could have had taken the next step (speed and taper) with a period of good speedwork, but I do trust my fitness and will not use this as an excuse. it's been a good season and i hope it gets better. just because my name is todd or whatever you said does not mean that i'm invincible and can take a couple weeks off and still run the same. are you saying if i had a stress fracture or mono i'd have no excuse to slow down? i don't get it. i will say that i've been fortunate to be able to run a few times in the past couple of weeks and been able to cross train without pain for 2 hours or so a day. however you look at it, though, everyone was 45-50 seconds closer to me than usual on thursday and i should have been under 15. i will have to run much better next week if i want to do well. FL is iffy right now...i will only run if i can get back to training this week.

 

good luck to you as well next week...you guys can take it all and i'm rooting for you.

Todd - You're an avid reader of all things running. Like Schilling last year, there was another bloody sock that an athlete had to live with and through, namely Haile Gebrselassie at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics and the 10K. It's chapter 10 of Denison's The Greatest. Your season is far from lost, and the challenge becomes opportunity.
