8.73 - 1st run for ages after a week on the lash!

Just got back from my first half marathon distance run. Not the quickest - 2h 3m, but a fair first try. Ankles struggled. Can anyone recommend good shoes? I underpronounce (I heel strike on outside of foot) and weigh 14st.

[Rowan]

Haven't used structured shoes in years (changed my running style so I just use neutral now) but a lot of people have been wanking over the new Saucony Guide. I used the 5 back in the day and it was alright.

Awesome work on the half too. Anything within 5 minutes or so of 2 hours is immense work

Was that a single run? 18 miles? Impressive stuff.

[RoadEnd]

I'm back running regularly now after a sports hernia. An anti inflammatory steroid injection seems to have done the trick (but might just fail a drugs test). I am doing the Birmingham half marathon next Sunday, so will have one last long run tomorrow, a short blast on Wednesday and a gentle parkrun on Saturday.

Go on memory generally, but I record things down post-training to keep track. Can monitor your progress better that way. Helps be more focused & scientific.

Don't worry about not being able to re-rack on bench. Aye it's embarrassing but we've all done it.

I do it all the time and need rescuing.

If I think I'm not gonna make the rack, I normally start laughing at myself and lose all control, then can't stop laughing when I'm pinned down helpless.

Haven't done it in a while, but I'll be day 4 into a no carb diet when I do chest tomorrow, so am fearing the worst.

[RedReet]

Haha, as predicted, was pinned down doing declined barbell presses and needes rescued.

What a dick.

[Roboklopp]

Nightmare mate. Is this just happening on the final set? You could drop the weights down for your last set.

[RedReet]

Think it was my third set of 5. It wasn’t really the weight this time or the lack of strength from dieting as expected, I had poor form in my second last rep and jolted my arm a bit and it just gave in when I lowered the bar.

It’s no big deal as I go to the gym with my brother, but he spent about 5 minutes laughing before he lifted it off me. ****er.
