You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: yesstiles Subject: RE: loss of coordination in leg Body:
Wow. This is exactly how it happens with me. I remember when I was 18 running my first 5000m and this happened the last mile and I suffered greatly to run a 15:40. I told my coach something is wrong with my leg and if I could race without the problem I could break 15:30. Well, the only time my leg didn't "go out" as I called it, I ran 15:19. I hated my leg splaying out and refusing to work. It made the race 10 x more painful than it had to be. The worst was racing 10-milers or half-marathons. It would usually "go out" around 5 miles and I would have to just focus and suffer the rest of the way. It was horrible. Sometimes a 57 minute 10-mile ended up being harder than a 53-minute 10-miler. And my good leg would be excrutiatingly tight following the race because it had to take over and work so much harder. The asphalt was the worst. I never had the problem in XC, and was far more successful because of it. It helps to know we can relate to each other's grief, which most runners could never understand.
