Just announced on Strava. Non running related injury and claims it came from soccer. Hope he can come back from it. Worrisome to see an injury like this so early in his career.
worrysome? high school runners get injured all the time.

Whatever he was doing, he hasn't been doing it for long.
My point stands that getting a chronic use injury before one's 17th birthday may not be auspicious, and at the very least should send a signal.
