Jae Gruenke: Can You Share the Mileage you Ran in Next%?

Non-Running Politics

Hey, Jae, can you share your runs, long runs, tempos, etc., that contribute to you thinking big toe is not activated? Just asking because that is not the feedback I receive personally from my athletes (or from my testing). Bottom line they feel they use their big toe more than in non-plate shoes as they feel they are placed in a bit more of an over-pronated position to really activate the big toe. It doesn't shut off. I think you're making this up. This is not what we see inside the shoe, when in motion.

Can you publish your training log and racing results?

Thank you.

re: REAL.

She once worked with Jen Rhimes. But she gets a quote on the homepage like anyone cares what she says? The owners of this website must really hate Nike. Of course, Nike isn't a sponsor so they have to smear Nike all they can.

re: REAL.

Dancer, becomes jogger, becomes self-appointed running guru. Just like that.

Only fools buy in to what she thinks.

Only former athletes in the specific sport can be decent coaches. Running is a motion completely different from all others. And besides, pro dancers are not athletes and can’t possibly understand or study running technique. And such people are certainly not entitled to their opinion and should keep quiet. Go Nike!

But really, I’be been running all my life and finally am focusing on technique. Should have done it a long time ago. And she is one of the people who can truly help open minded runners who aren’t stuck on the idea that all people will magically find the perfect stride if they simply run more and more and more.

I don’t know her, never paid for her work- just learned from her site that I randomly stumbled across.

re: Whats your real motivation

She actually knows a lot about running and the way the body moves. Believe it or not people can learn new things and reinvent themselves, even become experts in a new field after they reach middle age. Brother Colm knew nothing about running when he came to Kenya, that didn't stop him from learning. Everyone has the ability to learn new things. That being said I don't agree with her dislike of the shoe. It's not a shoe that people train in, and those that do are using it very sparingly or are pro athletes. I get what the above poster means in that the shoe does pronate your foot, but it also reduces the amount of ankle flexion needed. At any rate race day shoes do not matter to an athlete. A shoe that has no manufacturing defect is not likely to injure you in the middle of a race as long as it feels comfortable to you.

No she doesn’t. She’s a practitioner of the Feldenkrais method.

This has been found to have no benefit. So

She’s mostly a fraud.

She’s a fatty

A ballerina discovers jogging because she could no longer maintain weight. Now she's an expert at running?

Yeah right.
