Doing it, not just talking about it!

Hi,
I'm still here
More than two years since the crash (in which I badly broke my shoulder), I am mostly "back to normal".
Or course, I am still in my 50s, so I have the issues from that ;-)

Anyway, while a basic test of fitness might be something like a Cooper Test (run one mile in twelve minutes - and, no, it isn't very hard), a better test of my current ability might be just how far can I run.

So I did.
Two days ago -  and here it is on Strava (at top of post)

Long Term Review: O-Synce Footpod

Disclosures: nothing to disclose. No freebies, no hidden payment, no fancy marketing tricks.
Price paid: 10 Pounds Sterling (about 13 US Dollars, about 12 euros) + 3 pounds 50 shipping
Model: O-Synce "maxrun" Footpod (Ant+)
Bought online from Planet X, on sale as a clearance item, about 6 months ago (I think!)
Normal retail price on footpods is 30 to 60 pounds (40 to 80 dollars,  35 to 70 euros), so, although I bought the footpod as a "regular" customer, I haven't seen this sort of offer anywhere since.

Footpod on my running shoes.
If you are not used to them, beware that these are size 11 (US size 12) Men's running shoes
so the footpod would look a bit bigger if you have small feet!

Introduction

hi.
A new blog from me.
It was pointed out (by Kermit Green, as it happens) that my cycling blog was getting rather a lot of "training"/"fitness" stuff in it.
That, of course, included more than just cycling.
(The heart is the heart, and sustained zone 2 work increases the stroke volume whether you are cycling/running/swimming, or doing any other aerobic sport.
At the same time, I don't have much of an interest in swimming, so this is NOT going to be a "Triathlon" blog.
So expect stuff about cycling and running here.
Other stuff will be here too, if it is relevant, but this blog will have a bit more of a sports/fitness theme, so my other blog (Second Gear) will become more of a "general" cycling blog.
