Planks for 10 seconds ?

Take this new "McGill'ism" with a grain of salt and in the context it may have been given, ie. for general core strength for the average person.
For what we do however, we do not agree this is a rule to follow. In our clients, when working on functional stability deficits, adhering to a 10 second rule won't often make sense to resolve the issues of planar skill, endurance or strength deficits.

4 ways to fix your running stride ? ummmm

Just too simple and cooked down an article for us.
eh, maybe 2 of these have some value. But we wouldn't head to the bank on them. We have plenty of pro runners who have a decent hallux rigidus and compensate surprisingly well. But, if it ain't broken, and causing other things to become broken, leave it alone. Consider making anatomic anomalies more durable when you cannot fix or change them. As for premature heel rise, "stretch the calf", that is all they were willing to come up with? Our readers know to go a little deeper (anterior compartment assessement, hip extension assessment etc). Zero mention of hip as a cause. He merely touched on the hip drop one in our post yesterday, but that is a goliath of a topic. Read with a jaundiced eye.
