no. I set a really high goal, gave myself plenty of time and was just trying to build up to it.

But by the time I got up to being able to run 6-7 miles, my shins and knees would hurt too much and it would take days to recover.

If you're having trouble with swelling and soreness after distance, try doing an ice bath after long runs. My wife and I run and she was having some issues with swelling after our 10+ milers. It worked really well for her...eliminated the swelling and cut down her recovery time significantly.

Three 10 lb. bags of ice in a standard tub should do the trick. I poured them in first and tried to keep the water from the faucet on the cold side while still streaming fast enough to fill the tub in 10-15 mins. You really don't want to be sitting in a bunch of ice cubes, rather just really cold water left after most of the ice has melted. Strip down to nothing but an old fleece pullover or something like it and submerge yourself up to your waist. It helps to have a cup of coffee or something to give you the sensation of warmth. 10 mins is a good duration. Have your wife on standby with a towel for afterward. She'll get some lulz and you will avoid freezing to death, win/win.

Good luck!

I did it a few years ago, it's fun but a little hilly. I strained my calf last Friday but it should be good to go by then, so I may do it again. I did 12 miles on the 21st on a flat course at a 10 minute pace, and that felt pretty good.

Jase, do some research on POSE style running. It will solve your shin/knee issues. It's taken me several months of practice to get it right, but now I run toe-heel at least 75% of the time, and the difference is amazing.

      Dan looking at a new Conerback!!!

      Nothing wrong with starting to look for bodies early. It's a long injury filled season. I doubt we get through unscathed.

      Adam Theilen said he came back to play with Bryce, and he expects the Panthers to surprise some people

      We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.

      I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
