so are you guys now sporting the Nike Vaporfly kicks….
In the last 13 months alone, male runners have recorded the 5 fastest marathon times ever in Vaporfly's
The winner of the New York City Marathon and the fastest marathoner in the world have one thing in common: Both wear the same controversial shoes

What is ballooning?
Neither my PCP nor the orthopedist could give me a definitive answer on that. IMO, the running contributed. He said he didn't think it would make it worse to keep running in moderation, though why run if you're in pain? There's other ways to exercise. I was also diagnosed with rotator cuff tendonitis, frozen shoulder, and plantar fibroma. Still nothing about my hands. Getting old, good times!
With all the old people on here, maybe we should do a health woes thread?

Haha.
It's actually a medical term as well.
ballooning. A descriptive term for the biconcave compression of the end-plate of a vertebral body caused by increased pressure in the intervertebral discs, usually in the lumbar spine, which may be seen in osteoporosis.

I really think a couple of extra hundred pounds puts a lot of strain on the knees

Montgomery County Road Runners cancelled all events through 31 March. There is some discussion bubbling up in the larger endurance community that new guidelines will cancel everything through June 15.

I don't think we're racing any day soon. I'm running solo.
