Reminder that Sabastian Sawe's sponsor adidas spent $50,000 for him to be drug-tested out of competition as much as possible in 2025 and are doing the same thing in 2026.

Today in London, he became the first man to break 2:00 in an official marathon.

@GregLehman @tim_roozendaal Agreed. I even recently invested in a pair of barefoot shoes 🤯

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@GregLehman @tim_roozendaal I realise I’m preaching to the converted

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@GregLehman @tim_roozendaal But if the logic is that the foot behaves differently/ is at risk of deconditioning etc then I’d argue these are attributes that are not needed to run under this condition (carbon plate)

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@GregLehman @tim_roozendaal Yeah sure. Train around your running too. But in terms of getting better at the task, practice the task.

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@GregLehman @tim_roozendaal I find the line of reasoning interesting. If the aim is to perform in a carbon shoe, why would you not train in one?

@DrJN_SportsMed I did not know about the link between Gh and entrapment. Thanks Doc. Every day is a school day

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@DrJN_SportsMed @lizbayleyphysio expecting big things (are you a pro yet?)

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@DrJN_SportsMed @Tiago_MOC80 Changing to test ATFL in this way vs open chain anterior draw was a massive development in my practice.

@DrJN_SportsMed Definitely more effective than the non-ambulatory canine lead pulls

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@DrJN_SportsMed I’ve heard the turmeric good to get on too. Or maybe it was another spice.

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@DerekGriffin86 @BennoNigg Great share, not come across this pod before.

@DrJN_SportsMed

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@DrJN_SportsMed Have missed these

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@BillingMartin I wonder if it even is possible to make a significant impact here. Very complex (and fascinating) issue

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@adamdobson123 @k8purcellphysio @lizbayleyphysio All the best

@adamdobson123 @k8purcellphysio @lizbayleyphysio “I can see what (other clinician/ you) are seeing, but for me, that’s not a cause for concern, not the cause of your symptoms”.

[Matt Pearson @MPearsonPO]

@adamdobson123 @k8purcellphysio @lizbayleyphysio … the important part, not the label itself.
