My best belt and recommendation if you don’t have one is the SBD lever belts. Thick and stiff to brace against. Absolutely love them!

Yeah lever belts were a game changer for me when they first came out. I also wear a soft belt underneath on heavy pulling sessions.

Gives you an extra layer of support and are designed to be worn under lever belts.
Cerberus make a great Neoprene one.

@1WayTrip appreciate it brother

@goosehd thanks! The first 200 or so activities were exclusively mountain and road biking when I lived in the Pacific Northwest. Then when I moved to the Midwest I still rode my bikes seasonally but added in a few hundred yoga sessions and walks to heal my back. The last 300 activities or so have been mostly weight training. I've been on Strava a little over 10 years now.

I bought a lever belt around 15 years ago, it's still going strong (shame I can't say the same about myself!). It's got a wonderful patina from sweat and chalk that I'm sure would be appreciated around here.
A couple of weeks back I said my current short-term goal was to get back to running a full 5k. I've been running 1-2x a week, with walks an extra 2x or so. I can't quite hit the full 5k, but today I got 4k on the trot, a short walk to catch my breath and then finished the distance. I think next week I'll manage the whole thing!

I made it the full 5k this morning, my very next attempt! I just kept lying to myself, just make it to the next imaginary marker, then when I get there just make it to the next!
I even made it under 30 minutes, which was a stretch goal.
Next up is to solidify the new baseline and hit the distance repeatedly for about 2 weeks. Then push on speed, I’d like to get to 25 minutes, an average of 5 minutes per kilometre.
Going to take a look
