Hopefully nothing to sinister mate, with the veggie iron thing, Ive been plant based now for a while and just take a b12 twice a day, and theres loads of other foods high in iron, I whack spinach and kale in a smoothie every morning, dark choclate is also good for iron

Yes hopefully mate, i eat plenty of greens, etc and had no issues after becoming veggie for the first 12 months or more but the last couple i've just been lacking the energy... never needed the B12 either as far as i'm aware, eat plenty of cheese to make up for it lol

Just had an email re Therabody massagers - £320 FFS!!! Now I know how they can afford to become an "official partner" of City.

Does anyone use these and are they any good?

I use a taotronics one I got off amazon, its decent enough and saves foam rolling which is a pain in the arse if you ask me.
The one I got was about £70 but theres loads on amazon which I suspect come from the same chinese factory with a different badge on them, not had a go of a therabody one but Im guessing theres not much difference apart from the price tag, its basically just a jack hammer for the legs, the mrs loves it for some reason and often disappears with it for hours on end!!
 
Went out to try and do a 10K PB at lunch. The watch (which I rely on too much for pace really) wasn't getting a good GPS signal so I set the run on strava just in case and got going. Was hoping to be around the 49 minute mark. Watch was telling me I was at 5:30 km pace and I was thinking... this feels tough though... got about 5.5km in and just blew up and had to stop. Checked strava and I'd been going at about 4.40km and ended up doing my third best 5K time. Not a wasted run as such but really disappointing and it was a hard hard walk/jog back the remaining 4.5km.

I've defo got a quicker 10K in me, but going to abandon the attempt for a couple of weeks and just take it slow. Done a lot of speed work and hill sprints recently so need to slow it down and hit the aerobic workouts again.
 
Been doing really well with the running and now developed chub rub in my inner thighs, any recommendations to relieve?

Hope all's well with the doc.

I'm plant based as well (have been for 25 years) and iron, B12 etc. have always been good. Houmous and, as you say, leafy greens are high in iron.

Like you say, it's hopefully something trivial that can be easily addressed through minor adaptations.
 
Stretched the legs a bit after Sunday's long run - 5k at 7:55 (24:53) and HR of 149. Struggled with heavy legs for the 1st mile but enjoyed the last 2. It was almost tropical compared the recent weeks - Sunday dressed for an arctic expedition, today shorts & t-shirt.
 
I managed 14k yesterday, first kilometre uphill, then relatively flat thereafter. The weather was much warmer than the last couple of weeks, which made for a nice enjoyable run.

My running shoes will need replacing soon though. It would be nice to buy from a shop rather than taking a chance with online buying.
