@Jcaz6996 sounds brutal dude. The blues from not being able to train due to injury can be intense. You’ll be better soon and back to it though. Hopefully doctor or physio will have some recommendations on how to avoid in the future, but injuries are a part of the game…

I have a history of ankle instability @Alex partly from years of skateboarding as a teenager. Single leg calf raises are supposed to be the most effective physical training to strengthen the muscles around the ankle and add stability. Can be good to do all sorts of balance stuff too and lots of single leg variations on most leg strength exercises will help.
As for shoes the cool ones are Norda, then Hoka seems to have the largest market share at the moment, but lots of brands have good trail shoes. Ones with lower stack height midsoles and wider platforms on the outsoles will be more stable. Hoka speedgoat is a popular option. Satisfy have a trail shoe coming out soon called The Rocker that could be cool. The firmer insoles of Brooks can be good for stability too.

Very cool @simmosn its funny how quickly the mind changes from never again to yes please

@Graham Yeah I’ve been to Nowhere twice for tattoos from Adam Sage now. Nice place good vibes there. Is it Thomas that you have tattoos from there?

Satisfy, Real McCoy's, Norda

I’ll take deranged

@seawolf I smile when running (and cycling) and see lots of other people doing it too

Like Andy Glaze says, ‘Smile or you’re doing it wrong’

2nd place at a local trail 50km yesterday. Was fun to go out with the fast pack. At 4 miles or so the pack thinned and at 7 miles I was passed by two runners. Then passed again at mile 12. Managed to run my way back to second place on the last few hills.

I'll watch. Was fortunate enough last year to have a mountain stage finish near where my wife's family lives in central France so got to ride to see the race in person at a secluded pass, managed to catch a few silly promo things from the caravan of sponsor novelty vehicles that pass before the peloton, and several teams stayed in the local village so got to get up close to their impressive bikes. There most memorable part of the day was seeing Pogacar and Vingegaard speed over the pass with intense concentration. Sadly no photo of that but it was too special to not fully take in in the moment.

Cool, looking forward to seeing the new collection and congrats on new spaces

@AdamC broadcasting from the London location today?

@goosehd pretty good, first race in less than 4 weeks, looking forward to seeing how I stack up

I have had an electric car since last summer, and have done several drives from UK to south of France as well as shorter UK road trips. Most use in the car is getting out of the city but usually by less than an hour for trail runs. The experience of driving with an electric motor is far superior to me. It is so responsive, immediate power, and simple. I don’t mind taking the longer breaks on longer road trips. As for the ecological side of it, no private vehicle is ever really going to be ecological compared with public transportation.

Some new footwear as racing season looms
