I just wonder what was the point of releasing the video?
This. I am not sure either. Strange video. Mary is very likable. Confident, articulate, great smile. But dang does her form look almost as bad as mine in that video lol.
The bottom line for Mary is that, well, she became a woman. Not overweight proportionally by norma standards but she isnt a little girl any longer. Clearly she is gimpy but the footage is more than that. Mary always had a unique form. not sure if gangly is the right term. Maybe awkward? Was always rounded at the shoulders and maybe a little stiff upright looking. Not disputing the undeniable effectiveness she had a few years ago.
I went back and watched a few videos of her. The ‘13 us womens indoor mile was clearly many “issues” ago but wow, the power. Incredible turnover. She lengthened that stride and accelerated with ease. But that form is a world different than the Mammoth video. Too many injuries? Too much tinkering with her form by Al and how many others? Total loss of flexibility?
Regardless, it was great to see her having some fun and enjoying life in the Mammoth video.
