Anyone got any exercises they would recommend for strengthening ankles?
How is the problem manifesting? I've never heard of an ankle strength issue, but ankle mobility problems are a thing.
I'm probably phrasing it wrong, basically when I run my ankles hurt with the impact sometimes. Its lessening as I run more regularly, but I didn't know if there was anything I could do to help my ankles feel better? If that makes any sense!
Also my obstacle race is in less than a month, I've been doing abs and legs and arms exercises, and I kinda like it! Feels good man.
I'm not gonna become colossal, but I like the idea of being able to do some of the new exercises without dying, and being strong and fit in that sense. Might need to upgrade my hand-me-down 0.5kg hand weights though...

For your running shoes it might be worth seeking out a running shop that does custom fitting and making sure your shoes and insoles work with your stride.
Gonna restart keto tomorrow and continue muay thai on tuesday. I had great success with those last year, before job obligations forced me to drop all hobbies for a good 6 months.
This is a pretty good review of the OPM training method. Again, you have to keep your fitness goals in mind.
If your goal is to benchpress a truck, it's not going to be great. If your goal is to lose weight and get some tone, it's going to be fine. The only thing to keep in mind is that 10km running everyday isn't ideal. You need to have some longer runs and shorter runs mixed in.

Ran the longest long run of my training this morning in the rain. Just a little over 20 miles. Legs are tired. Shoes got so waterlogged that one of my insoles kept trying to fold upward into the arch of my foot.
Upside: next three weeks constantly taper down.

Singapore is destroying my exercise life.
I am trying to do yoga 5 days a week like I'm used to but I've got Bozo the Furry Clown immediately up in my business when I do any balances or inversions in the living room. And I just don't feel that I'm practicing as thoroughly or as safely at home as I would with an instructor. Then I got a gross-ass ingrown toenail so I couldn't run for the last eight days.
Good news is the toenail's clearing up-ish and I found a thing that seems to be like ClassPass here in Singapore that I'll try out as soon as I'm not broke-as-a-joke. So like in two weeks.

I took a week off last week because I was totally exhausted (well, not completely off but only a couple of 5km runs, no long ones). The plan is to get back on the distance wagon tonight. It's amazing how fast my motivation for long runs goes down after even just a few days off.

Update: my work computer is about five seconds away from permanently shitting itself and expiring in a puff of smoke so I'm not getting home until at least 9.30. I will ...consider a run. Maybe.
Welp got on a scale yesterday and uuh shit. At least half it is muscle, I can tell that much at least but way too much is fat. Back on the cardio train it is.
PAX threw me off my rhythm, so I've been a lot more sedentary than I should be.
Three times at the gym this week and today I think I hit my wall, but the -good- kind of wall, where I feel great and just, you know, can't lift my arms above my waist.
Now it's dark by 7:30, though, so I need to go and buy some lights or reflective bands so I can keep running at night.
I was raiding on tuesday night, finished at midnight, and wasn't tired.
So I went for a walk/jog outside.
I came across a skunk. I was maybe five feet away from it by the time I noticed it, and it noticed me (it was around the other side of a recycling bin).
Dead stop. Back away slowly, because I'm pretty sure I was within skunk spray range.
Happily did not get sprayed, and got back home and to be by 2.

Did you ask him if he knew me
Yeah he said you would buy his mom's perfume for office pranks.
Just so you know I've already used that one so good job

Yeah, that's a sick burn.
I've almost given up on restoring a decent workout routine before month's end. Effed up toe is okay, but now I've got a face plague. I really dislike cutting myself slack because I feel like it instantly turns into "never exercise again."
Also I know this is crazy to complain about, but the guys in the office here are driving me up the wall with carrying things for me/offering to lift stuff? It's like it personally offends them or they're worried I'm going to collapse from carrying a piece of server equipment. I'm sure it's just a politeness or cultural thing, but I'm used to being one of the Workout Crew in our Austin office. Here, this afternoon, a guy in the kitchenette/lounge area asked me if his darts were too heavy and worried that my arm was tired. I'm like bro those are darts. :bigfrown:
So anyway now I'm convinced I've turned into a sea elephant woman and that's why everyone is trying to prevent me from standing on furniture or lifting boxes.

No, nobody knows about my toe here. I assume it's just the general assumption of a lack of capability. Because of the vagina. And the elephant seal problem.
Bleh.

My feet weren't too painful yesterday before trying the insoles.
I'm hopeful they will continue to heal. And, since they're feeling better, I'm thinking about fitness again.
I'd like to try the One-Punch Man workout.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GOD0N6M/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_V0S3xb5C66XM4
100 sit ups
100 squats
10k run
Yeah, it's a good goal, I don't know about doing that every day though, I'm not a superhero.

I can't pull off the bald look so it's best I don't try that workout.
Also I fucking love air conditioning.
I don't... understand...?

I rode 10k on my bike today
20 lbs to go!
or 15 or 25
Whatever it takes to get rid of this sloppy gut
They also do a $25 monthly reimbursement fee for any gym, as long as you go 7 times a week and record it.
EDIT: A month, not a week

Haha, I meant a month, which is more reasonable.

Ah nice, even my lazy butt can manage that.
