and then got into the London Marathon and went and ran that seven weeks later and started to get, for the first time ever, a little bit of knee pain. Yes, the other knee. The other knee. So can you explain why you didn't think that was a coincidence?

And so if the knee is caused by the hamstring, what do you think is the cause of the hamstring injury? And why are women, middle-aged women, so susceptible to this injury?

And the other thing I would add to this, which I suspect any woman listening to us who's had kids will appreciate, is even though Jill is tiny, she said her body never went back to pre-pregnancy. So if she talks about how she used to run before 2008, so our first child was born in 2008. And she ran a bunch of marathons before then. And then she's run a bunch of marathons since.

And she weighs the same. She's been very fortunate in that regard that her body weight hasn't changed in that period of time. But she says she cannot biomechanically do what she used to be able to do. Now, when I hear that, I assume her pelvis was mechanically changed having kids. And she feels it, but she can't articulate it, nor can I necessarily. But she just says there's something different.

She felt like she used to float. And now she feels like she runs. Yeah, right. She's colliding.

I hope somebody is listening to us, by the way, and is thinking of another type of a 10 squared, which is what are we doing for women immediately post baby? Vaginal and C-section is two totally different operations or two different things. There should be really robust rehab paths to get them back in amazing shape immediately, as opposed to we'll come back to this in 10 years.

I think there's something about the pelvic floor that is absolutely decimated in pregnancy or delivery, more to the point. I deep down believe, no pun intended, that that's a part of what has gone wrong in her hamstring. I see this in many of her friends. This is a very common complaint. It doesn't present as even a hamstring injury. It presents as

Either a knee injury, like an ischial tuberosity pain, which is like the sit bone. And they say, oh, it's just not comfortable sitting. Yeah, I don't want to sit.

Let's talk for a minute about the core. I hate the term because it's so misused, but the way we talk about it is probably most closely aligned with how DNS thinks about it, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization. So maybe just say a moment about it through the lens that we think about the core as a cylinder as opposed to quote unquote abs. Yeah, exactly.

Yeah, there's so much I want to say on this. I don't want to lose the thread, but I'll sort of say two things that seem unrelated, but they're quite related. The first is, I wish there was another word for stability that didn't imply static. We think of that as things that are not moving. So rigid, stable, et cetera. But the truest way to appreciate stability is kinetic stability.
