Conner Mantz injury update

Strange, mistakes of a new runner .

I don't like the way he mentioned the marathon with his wife THREE times. We all know running that marathon was foolish, but it almost sounds like he's blaming his wife for his injury.

Unfurling? A woke way of saying “manorexic.”

*underfueling

“heavy” weightlifting - Lol!

He had a very pronounced limp while working at NXN.

Being on your feet that long is a big risk and it seems it’s where all his mistakes added up. He seems like a pretty open book.

Ultra runner. Ran 3 marathons in 3 days for training no injury 16k of vert total. Mantz is a rookie.

Called RED-S last month (got 3 upvotes, 7 downvotes). Not that I thought he had an eating disorder (not close and can't evaluate that) but he is tiny, and I suspected underfueling/undereating can be a problem with him.

I think a number of male pros probably have RED-S but it's arguably not as noticeable physically (men can be healthy at a lower body fat percentage) and the body doesn't respond as negatively (at least at first) via hormonal disruption compared to females. For example, research indicates the latter should basically always forgo training fasted and it's honestly not that hard to lose a regular cycle either when training at a high intensity and/or volume.

There's a number of men who have recently suffered sacral and/or femoral neck BSIs which almost always indicate some combination of under-fueling (even unintentionally) and inadequate recovery...

Where did he blame her for it? He could just as easily be blaming himself. If that's the vibe you're getting from Conner Mantz's comments here, you might want to take a look in the mirror.

This is why no one likes ultra / trail dudes.

wow you likely walk jogged three marathons wearing some ridiculous vest while stuffing your face with junk food, what do you want, a medal?

post pbs I dare you

This reflects far more on you then it does him.

I'd like to see video of this. Walking at faster than 4 mph on flat terrain is difficult to sustain mechanically, no matter how aerobically fit you are. Go try it for two miles and see how it feels; at some point it's simply easier to start super slow jogging. So 6.5 miles at 15% grade almost certainly means he was ever so slightly trotting at times.

He also mentioned sleep and nutrition/eating/calories 4 times each.

Yeah, bone density definitely suffers when you're, like, 70 years old.

mantz build and running action both very similar to british runner jake smith who has had a long tough journey back from red-s related problems.

the man's body held up for a long time and he got his national record; he's a tough and talented man. but sailing so close to the wind for so long was inevitably going to result in a breakdown eventually.

hope he can find anway back that results in fast times and a healthy body.

When I saw this on Strava I was just waiting for some halfwit here to read into this comment and think this. He's not a English major. And I'm sure had he read that paragraph to himself 5 times before posting it he'd realize how it could come off. So use your brain. He's not blaming his wife.
