Well, it is that time in MIT season. That time in every marathon and half marathon training season when the miles start taking a toll, those long Saturday runs seem extra-long, and pain begins to develop in your hip and …rear. To function at an optimal level, the hip requires a perfect balance of strength and flexibility within its supporting muscle groups. When one of these groups fails, the entire area is affected. Unfortunately, the repetitive act of running invites the development of muscular imbalances. Our MIT medical team works hard to reduce and eliminate these imbalances and have made Dr Bright’s article on Dead Butt Syndrome the focus of this week’s newsletter. Dr Darrin Bright is the Marathoner In Training Medical Director and one of our 8:00 minute pace coaches. He is involved with planning and delivering our season-long MIT education program, monitors tough weather conditions, and helps ensure the overall health and safety of our group. At work, his primary care sports medicine practice provides the highest quality care to active patients with a special focus on comprehensive care for runners, triathletes and cyclists. Having competed in, paced, and covered the finish lines of hundreds of marathons, Dr Bright understands running & walking related injuries. He is our RunDoc and works every day to help us keep people moving. To give back to our community, he is the medical director the Columbus Marathon where he works with the Columbus Division of Fire, American Red Cross, Columbus Police Department and U.S. Department of Homeland Security to prepare for race day. Thank you, Dr Bright, for all that you do for MIT!
