For our first Cocktails & Conversations of 2026, we dive into Lori’s upcoming talk for local runners, Glute Strong = Running Strong, and expand the conversation beyond muscles alone.

Most runners aren’t weak — they’re working hard. The real question is whether everything is connected when they run.

In this episode, we discuss why strength alone doesn’t improve running efficiency, speed, or longevity, and how organizing the entire system allows strength to actually show up when it matters. When the body is in a better position to endure load, running becomes easier, faster, and more sustainable — often without adding more work.

We’ll explore:

Why "strong" glutes don’t automatically lead to better running

How posture and system organization influence efficiency and speed

What allows strength to transfer into performance

Why better running often feels easier, not harder

It’s all connected — and understanding that connection can change how you train, race, and enjoy running.

Whether you’re training for your next race or simply want running to feel better, this conversation offers a different way to think about performance.

2026, The Year of the Horse!

Original post by: Ann Montgomery-The Mindful Rider
March 5, 2022


“A number of years ago I had an interesting lesson with a student. The rider was struggling with getting a constant contact with her horse. After watch both of them move around the arena for a while and seeing the mare, chomp, and fiddle with her tongue and bit I asked the rider “where is your tongue sitting in your mouth? To this the rider stopped the horse and said ” how the hell did you know that” so it turns out that this rider has a gap in-between one of her upper molars and she has a habit of twisting her tongue to place the tongue in the gap.
When I asked her to place her tongue softly onto the top of her mouth the horse became quite in its contact and as the lesson went on the horse began to move freer in the shoulders, the rider’s tonal quality of her arms into her hand and fingers became a soft tone.

So why is this so, I asked myself, and did some research.

Why would the riders tongue affect the horses tongue so much?

Well from what I have researched the hyoid bone is part of the tongue movement apparatuses as the omohyoid muscle origin site at the superior border of the scapula and can vary in location and in size, and at times the muscle also originates from the superior transverse scapular ligament. The attachment of the central tendon can be only to the clavicle or to the clavicle and the first rib.

Wow I thought so when her tongue curls up a whole tension goes from her tongue down to her shoulder which must create a tension down her whole arm to her hand. This in turn puts a tension onto the rein and bit which travels onto the horse’s tongue, so guess what this also affects the horses hyoid bone and his omohyoid muscle into the shoulder causing the tight steps and fussy mouth. It’s a circle of tension.”

Over a 2 week period earlier this month Dave (.drummer.507) was able to speak to all of the officers with the Lincoln Police Department about ways to improve their movement, function, and reduce pain utilizing science and techniques. We were grateful for the opportunity and feel the message was well received. Thanks for the Lincoln Police Department () for allowing us the opportunity to assist you and being such a great host for Dave.
