I'm now sat here still nursing a sprained ankle after pushing it end of last month. Oldgregg probably got 500km in this year already. Insane number. Must be made of steel.
While I await a return to running anyone know what the best road runners are? Am looking for lightest as possible to prevent injuries now. Want to be more consistent this year with the longer runs (10km+)

Speaking of Bondis, this my current setup of second hand shoes:
I haven't bought a pair of running shoes in more than three years thanks to my "shoe guy."
Goal for the year is to keep injury free and finally do the sub 20 5k this spring. But first I take a week off to ski in the mountains.

Anyone else reach London? I got in via the ballot which I entered on a whim having only ever done a few halves at the backend of last year.
Chose a 3 runs a week programme so I could continue with CF and lifting a few times a week.
Crossed the finish line at 3:34:08 which was a dream goal (sub 3:40 was the target about a month ago, and sub 4hr was on my mind when I registered).
Pain-cave came much sooner than I’d expected (about halfway truth be told) but somehow managed to hold on.
The first of many, a week after my 44th birthday. Planning on an autumn one for 2024 so I can get the miles in over the summer.
(Have entered the London ‘24 ballot anyway….)
