It’s IH Delivery Day! Great sticker @Steve!

If only it wasn’t 10 degrees here I would wear it out, about to put a UHF and boots on instead!

Helping Baby H celebrate turning 1, a few days early but Mrs H and I really wanted cake and the grandparents came over for lunch so why not.

Totally working in my workwear and not just f-ing about on the forum…

The dog, looking at the camera for once, takes after Ziggy Stardust.

@scooter As long as we go as late again!

Will do my best, but Mrs H has now made plans to go out for dinner with a friend, so I'll be doing Little Miss H's dinner and bedtime. Might be able to catch the end of the happy hour. Cheers @scooter

Egg, egg, egg!

@Go-For-Chill I don't know what you mean mate. All the measurements on IH's website are done with measuring the IH way. This is clearly stated on the product pages.

Are you saying that you think the waist measurement row in the sizing tables should literally say "Waist - measured the IH way"?

@Nik Dayum! If I was running ultras like you I think I could justify those. Still, it has been good to compare those shorts and figure out the little details that I should be looking out for in an alternative. Thanks!

Need a new pair of running shorts, the zipper finally went on the pair I've had for 15+ years and is not repairable.

My runs are typically with the dog, so for pleasure and easy-going, just aiming to get some low intensity cardio in. My usual route to- through- and back-from- the park is 6-7.5km depending on the route taken in the park. Stopping occasionally to pick up poop, or wait for dog to realise he's fallen behind and catch up. Pocket-wise, I'd need small ones for a house-key, a few doggy poo-bags, and some motivational dog treats.

Who's making good running shorts these days? Any recommends for my needs?

@jordanscollected Dude, tell me about it. I need to speak to a human being at Substack about one of my subscriptions going all fuckey and I cannot for the life of me get hold of a real human being. The chatbot just directs me to the same unhelpful FAQ pages, or to an email address which is answered by, you guessed it, another chatbot.

Good luck with the migration!

Update on sandbag training, I've been playing with them for 4-5 months or so and the workout you get is like nothing else. Because the weight shifts around while you're trying to manipulate them they consistently require max-effort, and the sheer size of them makes them hard to handle.

I have found that the volume taken up by the builder's sand decreases as the sand dries out in the bags, so I've refilled them each a few times since I got them. Every time I do so is like a new challenge, as the bag becomes larger and heavier, and harder to handle.

I predominantly train the main lift - picking the bag off the floor, getting it to your lap, then standing up with it and trying to wrestle it onto one shoulder or the other - with accessory work to support that.

So far I can do a workout with my 80kg bag - Mama Bear - for 15 of these each side, with a lift every minute on the minute, alternating sides between lifts.

The 100kg bag I am still yet to get onto my shoulder. Papa Bear is a mean bastard.

More fetch, this time on the beach.
