    Super glad the ankle is on the mend, from the other scrapes, looks like you had a good knock! Also, thankyou so much for the appreciation of the people on the frontline. I work for Tesco, and the amount of abuse, verbal and also physical, that staff are getting at the moment, just for trying to do our job, is just awful. We have to limit purchases just to try to share what limited stock we have. Yesterday was probably the worst day I've worked in 30 years, and I spent a lot of it in tears. Today was better, and I'm hoping a good long run on Saturday will clear my head. Anyway, don't fall off the pull-up bar!

    • @BenParkes

      You MORE than deserve a lovely long run at the weekend. As a society we’ve become use to having what we want, when we want it and for a few idiots they can’t accept having to make a few changes to their life. Thank you though, it may be hard.. but people like you are genuinely being incredible every day.. I just hope Tesco are looking after you properly! All the best enjoy that run!! 🙌

    Impressed that you've already had the cast replaced with a boot. Indicates good progress! I fell out on a run 6 weeks ago and broke my fibula. I was 4 weeks in a cast and on crutches. Now two weeks with the boot (no crutches) and hospital appt next Wednesday when i hope I'll lose the boot and start a tentative return to running. Still a bit of ankle swelling and soreness but getting there! Good luck with your recovery 👍

    Thanks for brightening up our days in these dark times. I work in the events industry in NZ which along with Tourism and the Airlines, has been devastated by cancellations due to this terrible situation. Many of us will be losing our jobs shortly, many already have. But as runners we are a determined & resilient breed, and we'll battle through this, supporting & looking out for each other.
    Stay healthy & take care

      So sorry to hear your situation there Malcolm.. hopefully some of these companies will see the benefits of keeping people in their jobs, so they are motivated and engaged for all the opportunity when we emerge from the other side of this. It’s true that we will support each other, remotely and face to face when that’s allowed again. All the best to you and hope your running is going well!

    At the moment I can do 12 perfect form pull ups, 20 plus dodgy form. When was solely swimming several years ago I'd do multiple sets of 30+ with pretty good to dodgy form when tired. I'm a lot leaner now with less upper bulk. Pull ups are my go to, they work so many muscles, and great for swimming catch. 🏊‍♂️

    NHS, boot lol! I had one of those after my stress fracture, developed into an
    actual fracture during the 2017 Manchester marathon. It depends how long you will need to wear it, but Amazon has better boots (assuming you can also get it delivered). Count yourself lucky, you did not have to order your own crutches from Argos. Get well soon, it’s only a minor blip. You have got to “play the long game” as i like to tell everyone, especially at the moment.

    • @BenParkes

      The hospital have given me everything for free so far.. pretty great service. Only need the boot for 4 weeks.. and not 24/7. I had a aircast boot a few years ago when I had a stress fracture and it was better.. will check amazon, but think this will be fine for now as it’s not too long in it. Hope you’re all recovered now Mark!!

    Pull ups (Ben) or chin-ups Sarah)? You may want to start with negative (eccentric) ones first for either exercise as this will help your progress to full on concentric contractions of the upper back or biceps. Good luck and cheering you on from Airdrie, Canada!

(but of course I will, so long as I can and there isn't a greater need from others)

      I can only do a couple at 90KG, even though I work very hard at upper body strength! That's from full 'droop', not the half ones Ben did ;) It's all about power to weight.
