Galen Rupp OUT of Houston Half Marathon with plantar fasciitis

Jonathan Gault · 2017-01-12T08:48:16-05:00

Organizers announced today that Rupp is out. "Unfortunately I will be unable to race on Sunday due to plantar fasciitis in my foot," said Rupp. "It is improving, but not enough to run a half marathon on. I hope to get the chance to run the Aramco Houston Half Marathon in the future." Mare Dibaba (death in family) and Tigist Tufa (injury) are out of the women's race as well.

I do not agree that Salazar is a good coach because I think he pushes runners to the brink, especially with his all-out workouts after a race. That is unnecessary and probably leads to psychological problems later, which might be the case here.
.

How's your coaching resume stack up against Salazars? The only criticism I would lob at Salazar is I think he treats each of his athletes the same, and while that may work wonders for Rupp, it may not work with someone like Mary Cain who needs a different coaching style. Having said that, I don't think Rupp would have done any better in his career if he was with any other coach.

If "running" ultra dudes ran instead of walked, that may be impressive. Covering 100 miles @ 10 min per miles is not athletic. Join the Army. They like to March for 100 miles too. Track is for athletes.

What?
That is a pretty picture with colors.
The extensor hallucis longus muscle which extends and lifts the 1st (big) toe is an interesting muscle which you don't really notice that muchâ€¦until it stops working.
I remember the time in 2007 when I had a complete rupture of the nucleus pulposus of my L-5 lumbar disc, which then squeezed out a bunch of glycosaminoglycan gel into the L-5 nerve root and sciatic nerve, which runs down the back of the leg and divides into the tibial and common peroneal nerves. The common peroneal nerve then branches into the superficial peroneal nerve and the the deep peroneal nerve. The extensor hallucis muscle receives innervation from the deep peroneal nerve.
This unfortunate event caused the extensor hallucis muscle to not workâ€¦and I lost the ability to lift my big toe and developed 'foot drop", which is a classic sign for an L-5 nerve problem. I also lost feeling to my lower leg and top of my foot (scary). My diagnosis was confirmed by an MRI and 3 different neurosurgeons, who all said that I needed surgery or I would never be able to walk correctly ever again.
It turns out I decided to not do the surgery... because it makes me nervous... and instead I crawled around in absolutely incredible pain for about 3 weeksâ€¦and then I started to rehab myself by doing yoga (which I have done since the age of 10). I couldn't do anything. I couldn't even do downward dog. It took years of hard work to get better.
Today, I have little pain and my back is as flexible as when I was 10 years old. I can also run as well now as before my injury almost 10 years ago.
One of the 3 neurosurgeons who said I would never be able to walk correctly without surgery...is now dead.
In conclusion:
I have a question for you:
What does the tibialis anterior muscle have to do with causing plantar fasciitis?

Question for you, WTF does your fairy tale have to do with plantar fasciitis?

re: Tghpdx

PF is caused by voodoo. No explanation makes sense, especially weak flexors, which play little role in absorbing shock during footstrike - extensors do that, and even they have a minor role compared to the arch itself which the PF braces.

The PF is equipped to handle tremendous forces and is not generally badly torn or injured during fasciitis. No matter what you do or don't do, it will stop hurting when it wants to, if ever.

I'll bet Salazar thinks he knows, but if he did, how come his athletes get PF? Nobody knows.

You have the direction wrong.

The extensor muscles of the foot include the extensor hallucis longus muscle, the extensor hallucis brevis muscle, the extensor digitorum longus muscle, the extensor digitorum brevis muscle, and the tibialis anterior muscle.

All of these muscles receive innervation from the deep peroneal nerve, so it is possible that dysfunction in the deep peroneal nerve can also cause dysfunction in the tibialis anterior muscle and other extensor muscles of the foot, which can then be a possible factor (of many possible factors) in the development of plantar fasciitis.

However, the troll pups will say that this is another stupid idea.

Go troll pups.

RJ, if I could ask a serious question and request an answer that isn't sarcastic, how would you treat PF caused by nerve dysfunction?

How does a guy with all the help in the world get PF? This seems like a pretty easily avoidable injury.

I thought this initially but when you think about it Rupp has been running at the elite level for a decade now and is in his 30s and he has hardly had any injuries until now.

To compare with most of us hobbyjoggers such as myself: I have struggled to string a full 12 months of training together without getting a significant injury (ie few months off) for over a decade.

The support Rupp is getting does help him train and perform consistently at the top level IMO and he is the best the US has so he deserves it.

re: runnah

Would be interesting to know the degree of this injury. It was only recently where he announced he would run the race. Then all of a sudden pulled out. If he had any signs whatsoever of PF at the time he announced, I doubt he would have ever entered the race. So it may have just flared up all of a sudden. If that is the case, it's only in the beginning stages, probably just a niggle, not at all chronic and him pulling out of the race has more to do with preserving his race at Boston.

Hey troll pup. No cut and paste.

It is all in my memory. I did not have to look up anything.

The neurosurgeon who died was a friend. He was very smart, but very smart humans can be stupid at times.

He had too much alcohol one night, lost his balance, and fell on his head with nobody looking. He then drowned in a lake and was dead.

Where did Molly Huddle get the obviously stupid and crazy idea to do more

Yoga???

Molly Huddle / American record holder in the 10,000 meters:

Resolution: I make resolutions in life and running.

My running resolution: Work more on mobility drills and yoga when I can, to help combat years of mileage-induced stiffness.

It is just a coincidental synchronicity.

In conclusion:

1) Go Amy Cragg (married to the speedy Irish leprechaun Alistair Cragg) !!!

2) Go Shalane Flanagan (female Irish human) !!!

3) Go Molly Huddle (female Irish human) !!!

4) Go Galen !!!
