"What a good day, and what a stupid accident...again. Five years after [my previous nose break], my nose is f---ed up even worse [laughs]. As you see, it's even more cracked the same direction, and when I touch [my nose], my bones are broken inside."
After a tough workout, your body enters a state of stress: muscle fibers are damaged, energy stores are depleted, and hydration levels drop. This is a critical moment. If your body gets the right nutrients, it starts rebuilding immediately. If not, recovery slows down, and so does progress.
On a sunny and warmish late-November day, my husband and I were meeting some close relatives to deposit our brother-in-law's ashes in a columbarium beside the remains of his late wife, my husband's only sibling. She had died during the pandemic, and her husband had subsequently moved away, but none of us were going to let the grim reaper separate a couple who had been conjoined by a lifetime of shared experiences.
Cross training and running go together like peanut butter and jelly. If you build it into your schedule intentionally, strategically, and with a clear understanding of what you're trying to accomplish, you'll thrive. Megan makes the case that cross-training serves runners for several distinct reasons, and the right reason for you will shape how you approach it.
He was chasing a loose ball in the closing minutes of Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals when his achilles' tendon ruptured, sending him crashing to the floor as he clutched his lower leg.
The brain is the conductor of the orchestra, the muscles are the instruments. When your body is out of alignment, the orchestra is playing out of tune. Misalignment in the musculoskeletal system is frequently the root cause of chronic pain and the resulting poor posture.
Brenton Doyle has a sprained left wrist, reports Thomas Harding of MLB.com. The defensive stalwart has sat out the last three Spring Training contests after experiencing soreness pregame on Wednesday. He'll continue to rest for a few days before heading for follow-up examination. There's no indication at this point that Doyle's availability for Opening Day is in jeopardy.
Riding a mountain bike comes with risks, and injuries are common among most riders, from minor cuts and scrapes to broken bones and more severe head trauma. But what are the common injuries from mountain biking, and what is the recovery like for the most common MTB injuries? Well, I've had most of them over the years. From the minor scrapes and bumps to the more severe head trauma, fractured bones, and ligament damage.
You feel an unpleasant sensation - like a sinking feeling of anxiety in your stomach as the game begins, and you think, "I'm anxious. Here we go again. I'm about to blow it." You feel your pain increasing, and the thoughts churn: "Great. I'll probably miss a whole week of work." Imagined catastrophes fill your mind. Manage these thoughts with the 3 C's: Catch it, Check it, and Change it.
The wrist is such a complex little area, Evans says, as they have evolved to allow an extraordinary range of movement while also supporting a high level of fine motor control the wrists mean we have the capacity to do both handstands and neurosurgery. It's got eight little carpal bones they're the axis of the wrist and then you've got your radius and your ulna, which are your two forearm bones, and then that joins in with your hand bones, your metacarpals, Evans says.
That Atlanta Braves have taken another blow to their potential starting rotation with news this afternoon that starting pitcher Hurston Waldrep had an MRI after experiencing discomfort in his elbow while throwing batting practice. The MRI showed "loose bodies" but no ligament damage. Braves manager Walt Weiss met with the media and gave some additional details on Waldrep's status. Weiss said Waldrep will be meeting with doctors on Monday. The assumption is that some type of procedure will be needed.
For runners, the hips can be one of the most confounding and frustrating parts of the physiological puzzle for efficient movement. Every runner knows how crucial hip strength is - and how mobile hips are essential for both fast and pain-free running. Yet healthy, happy hips remain elusive. For many of us, our hips stay stiff no matter how much we massage and stretch them.
In fact, it was one of those moments that eventually broke the game open. Having just about got to a ball over the top from Matteo Gabbia, the Belgian hooked in an inch-perfect cross for the substitute Niclas Füllkrug to head home. Not too long after that, inside the final 10 minutes, Saelemaekers had to come off after a duel with an opponent. Rather worryingly, he grabbed the adductor area suggesting something muscular, and Zachary Athekame replaced him.
In this episode of the On Coaching Podcast, Steve Magness and Jon Marcus discuss the concept of 'fit but flat,' exploring the phenomenon where athletes excel in metabolic fitness but fail to perform competitively due to a lack of neuromuscular coordination. Using examples like middle-distance runner Ingram Brion, the hosts delve into how metabolic training alone can lead to race failures.
When you have an acute injury, your body is sending signals through the peripheral and central nervous systems and the immune system to say, hold on, I need to stop doing this so we can allow the tissue to heal, says Ericka Merriwether, a physical therapist and pain researcher at New York University. Rest, after all, is the first part of the familiar RICE therapy, which stands for rest, ice, compression and elevation.
The club confirmed that Odobert has suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in his left knee.

Graterol struggled with his shoulder in 2024, landing on the injured list during spring training due to a shoulder injury. He returned to the team in September, but went straight back to the injured list, spending the majority of the Dodgers' World Series run on the sidelines. The 27-year-old returned for the World Series, though, and made three appearances. He underwent surgery shortly after the season, and missed the entirety of the 2025 season with his injury.
