Alexi making excuses

Have you had a hamstring injury? Mine have been niggled for 6 years (hurt the first one in a marathon and toughed it out). It's the only injury I haven't been able to kick, with lots of PT, massage, strength work, etc. I can't hit upper end paces anymore and sustain it. I could run all day at an easy to moderate pace, but when I try to reach marathon pace and beyond it's like my gait is limited to a certain point. It really sucks. It's going to be a struggle for her.

It's way overplayed on here saying people are "making excuses". Have a bit of sympathy. This is one injury that really really sucks.

Yes. I have had a hamstring niggle for over a year, probably a hi hamstring tendonopathy. I can run at easy to medium paces for 16 or 18 miles but when I try to open up my stride it hurts a little. If I insist on striding out I'll feel it the next day.

Remember when she crapped her buns that year racing the Dash to the Finish?

No excuse for that.

SHE CAN GET A TASTE

Why do y'all support her self promotion so much? Y'all have posted a lot of her self promotion schemes on the front page. Is she a friend of a member on the letsrun staff?

I would wager this chick may have had more daddies than daddy day care before her husband with all of these desperate cries for attention.

She is looking very tight down there (bottom half). I mean this literally. ?

I had all the same problems until I started incorporating barefoot running on turf and grass. Gone gone gone.

Can sprint until I'm crosseyed and nary a peep from back there.

I don't know what your definition of "suck" is, but I've made a few US Teams. You likely haven't, so I'd say you're the one who sucks.

Could she at least put her excuses in poem form.

She did.

She could have at least proofread to avoid the your/you're mixup...

I made the WORLD teams with the other winners you effeminate twink put some respect on it

Thread title is on point.

The whole thing immediately smacked of making excuses for and attention seeking in spite of a poor performance and the fact that, presently, she is just not very good.

At least she's being classy about it.

Read it again. There is no mixup on her part, only yours. She is correct. I hate to say.

Your is right, but put a comma after bravies

Suffice it to say, you're no Alexi fan. Your username is a lie. After that, who knows how much of the rest of what you posted is genuine at all.

I also was a competitive runner. High Hamstring tendinopathy creeps ups on ya and needs to be addressed quickly and routinely. I ignored the nagging tightness until it got so bad that it caused me to stop competing. I have tried deep massage, Physical therapy, cortisone shots, etc, but it always bothers me when running anything faster than a tempo pace. I had this injury 15 years ago. I still run today, but it hurts too much to stride out. Even tempo pace puts strain on the issue. Regardless about Alexi's personality or self promotion, this is not an injury I would want anyone to struggle with because it can be there for the long haul.

Every excuse in the book and then some and she was not even brave enough to tell us her time.

Blaming the other runners GPS for her not being able to get her splits, have we digressed this far....

Rain, hmm, seems like it was a pretty fast day to me for many out there especially the elites.

Training slow at altitude, what? I wonder why many of the best in the world that use altitude as a important part of their build up, wonder why the africans like it and have never used altitude as an excuse for a bad race.

Lets just get it straight, post Olympic, Alexi really wasn't into the training for any real racing.

She was not prepared to run a marathon , let alone a fast marathon.

Why the excuse train? She has to build a story for her sponsors, outside the running circles these might all seem like legitimate excuses, inside runners are scratching their heads.

Alexi will run her con game for as long as she can, more articles will follow, more interesting stories that pseudo runners eat up. At some point the con runs out.
