mike wardian wins the 7 marathons 7 continents 7 days challenge.

Mike Wardian of Arlington, Virginia and Susannah Gill of Great Britain have won the World Marathon Challenge, which took place on seven continents over the last seven days. Wardian finished the final marathon, in Miami, last night in 2:53:03. Gill finished in 3:26:34, winning all but the first of the seven marathons (she was second in Antarctica on January 31), setting a new world record in the process, with an average finishing time of 3:28. (The previous women’s record of 3:55 was held by Becca Pizzi of Belmont, Mass.) Wardian holds the world record for men, of 2:45, from 2017.

im really confused tho.... there was a marathon in Miami last night? wtf?

light day. felt good but tired.

sat down for too long at work, left hip flexor a little tight/achy. i've been doing standing desk alot lately, not much sitting, so seems like I "overdid sitting" lol.

dno.

what made my back/knees/body feel great while squatting, was:

1) half squat
2) plates under heels or olympic lifting shoes
3) getting in tons of air each rep
4) knowing when to back off & when to push, or when to stop doing a movement/variation

that's it for me.

back shouldn't be hurting during or after squats. if there is back pain (or any pain) for a few days following squatting, and/or that back pain is preventing you from performing other movements (like broad jumps etc), then squatting sounds like it's hurting, not helping.

pain "cycles" are a problem. training shouldn't hurt.

hurting ones self in training is a big problem. theoretically, we should never get hurt in training. in competition yes (it's a possibility), but not training. training injuries are often related to our stubbornness.

IMHO, one should *always* work "below" pain threshold or simply avoid movements that cause pain.

acole has brought up tons of good points.

Great points. I have a disadvantage structure wise and it is my stubbornness that I want to do things that a person should be able to do and then I look for alternatives. I feel like this pain won't go away so I just work with it trying to minimize it the best I can. It's not painful pain but that niggling pain, which just stays in the background when your body is at a certain posture i.e. sitting, getting up and so forth.

You have mentioned half squats before and I did do them and then I went on to BSS and then I saw box squats were good for hips, so I wanted to do them, but not good for my back.

I will try out a few things you and acole suggested and try and work my way towards a pain free workout.

cool, sounds good.

but having pain with things like "sitting, getting up" etc, is a sign that you probably need to not exacerbate it anymore (not cause it to reoccur) etc, and try to get it to heal fully. anything that causes your back to have pain when sitting or standing up, is not worth it. plenty of other movements that can substitute without causing such symptoms. those symptoms can lead to real injury at some point, best to try and avoid that IMHO.

pc!
