I’ll be honest, when they announced ABS at the beginning of the season I said “nice, it’ll only take a year or two til they go full robot umps” but now that I’ve seen the challenge system in place I think I want it forever
@stevemagness I’m also anti-stretching…but do you think doing poorly in sit and reach might also correspond to having long legs and short arms…which would also be an advantage in distance running? Probably to more of an extent than “stiff springs”. Feel free to roast me if I’m off here.
@perfectlyfine89 In (American) HS German my teacher just randomly gave a few people in the class German names. She would say “Hi Luke, good morning” and then to Mike “Guten Morgen, Herr Mee-Shy-Ell!”
@AndersonBobo_ That happened at Pre one year. It’s like the announcer was told “you’re only allowed to talk about jumps for five seconds, NO MATTER WHAT.” And then the entire crowd is electric about every single long jump and the announcer has to be like “now checking in athletes for the 3k.”
I’m not diagnosed but if I went through the last three years of the group chat and put all the “crying laughing” emojis in a spreadsheet and crunched the numbers to prove I’m the funniest does that mean I’m on the spectrum
Many elite distance runners have horrible flexibility.
They can't come close to touching their toes.
Why? A stiff spring can be beneficial.
Some research found the worse you do in the sit and reach test, the better your running economy.
In the UK ass is donkey and arse is butt, but in the US ass is donkey or butt. So if you say a guy’s an ass and you’re talking to a Brit, you gotta specify whether the guy was acting stubborn like a donkey or acting stinky like a butt.
