I read somewhere that you shouldn’t run back to back in the same shoes.
Something to do with the cushioning. Probably a load of rubbish though but I’m willing to imagine it helps!

Is it shin splints?

Yeah for sure. Quick hands and a lot of power. He's got the potential of being a big crossover star

Yes! So many of these for dog walks and stuff. I should take them to the charity shop but they're all so muddy.

He's looking good but he needs to step up and fight someone solid soon.
He called out Haney after that fight: that'll be a tough test for him if it happens.

Edit: Linares in the summer apparently. Great fight.

Do you guys have different shoes for different speed runs? I've just gone into a YouTube hole and am shocked by the amount of different shoes some of these guys have. I rotate shoes if I run back to back days but I've aways just had the same pair.
Am I in the wrong or am I being conned by marketing hype?

Yes! Defo! Congrats to you too.

Want to get a carrier I can pick on my back for pull ups. The extra weight has to help!

Works a bit too far to run too.

I agree - at the moment I’m just trying to maintain some sort of exercise routine!

This makes sense. I normally do my sprint training/long runs on days I don’t do weights. I used to run on completely separate days but I’ve just had a baby and my time out of the house is limited! I’ll give this a go.

Cheers! I’ve double what I do with most lifts which feels great. I love seeing my progress on a spreadsheet!

Yep, seated dumbell press and one arm rows. I’m just starting out - at some point I will need to move to barbells though. At the moment it’s going ok. Also, I feel a bit intimidated by barbells as opposed to dumbbells!

I’ve been doing this 2/3 times a week with some sit ups at the end. Instead of barbells I’ve been using dumbbells. Are there any other things anyone would recommend adding?

Workout A

3×5+ Barbell Rows
3×5+ Bench Press
3×5+ Squats
Workout B
3×5+ Chinups
3×5+ Overhead Press
3×5+ Deadlifts

Just to get my weekly miles/cardio up. For health/heart reasons mainly and I enjoy it.

Cheers that makes sense. Apologies if this is a silly question but what is assistance work?

Yes, that sounds like a good plan.

What kind of warm up do you before weights to stop stuff getting injured?

It's a bit of both really. General strength and fitness. Want to run faster and lift more. I do a bit of thai boxing so all three work together.

I need to fit some easy runs in that aren't taxing so I thought I'd combine them with the gym.

Is it better to do an easy 5k before or after strength training? I’m pretty much beginner and have been doing the reddit recommend routine to get a bit stronger. Any advice appreciated!

I’ve been running three/four times a week for five or six years. I’d like to go up to five days a week (Monday-Friday) and not run on the weekend (just had a kid so time limited).

I was thinking of three slow runs of three miles and two harder runs (sprints Tuesday and and 5 miles Thursday). Does this sound sensible?

Lovely, thank you!

Any recommendations for the best yoga type stretches for runners? I’ve done videos before but would like to just plan out a 10-15 minute routine I can do everyday.

I got a wilfa Classic for Christmas and the coffee tastes slightly chemical -slightly tangy. Same coffee as before, different filter (filtopra unbleached). Is there something I’m doing wrong?

Edit: I didn’t run plain water through it before using... will try again...

Well received, thank you!

Any recommendations for a good book to get my bouldering mad friend?

My asthma has not been great so far this winter so I’ve started running indoors on a treadmill. I’m finding it much harder than the road/trails. Any tips to increase m enjoyment or do I just need to HTFU and get on with it?

Seems like the moccamaster is forum approved then. I’ll get looking for one
