      @jdwaid Too many friends and family having issues…they all say the same thing…wear a belt, invest in a good one. I’m glad I listened

        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.

        Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals... except the weasel.

          @1WayTrip Curious about the soft belt…how does that work with the lever belt?

            Gives you an extra layer of support and are designed to be worn under lever belts.

            Cerberus make a great Neoprene one.

                        @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.
