  • Tips for picking it back up after injury

  • Oh I did know that it's not the same. I don't actually know my cadence, I just estimated that it must be too high since I walk (ie not run, so have both feet on the ground between steps) and am not that tall. Thanks for the helpful breakdown either way!

  • I can't really financially justify a gym membership rn. I do have some good calisthenics and resistance band exercises I learned in physiotherapy. I'll look into the the sand bags! Thanks for the advice

  • Come to think about it, mass buying food vouchers wherever possible during times of extreme currency instability is probably not a novel idea.

  • I think if I'd been on a road with cars (this is a cycle path, and the other one to the left is a foot path), it would've been a bit disorienting. I have astigmatism, so lights at night look much larger than they are, especially in the fog.

  • Yeah that's a great way of seeing it! Makes self improvement much less daunting, no matter the kind.

    I've got the vegan Chelsea boots. Since the shaft isn't super tight and also stretchy, I can turn my ankle in any direction I think. Pretty important for balance in icy conditions!

  • Thanks for the recommendations! Some of those look pretty appealing to me, so I'll have to look into it!

    One thing I can't abide though are wet socks. There's currently 20-30cm of snow on many of the sidewalks around me because it's snowing so fast it's impossible for the city to keep up, even with plows going every hour or so. Let alone out in nature. But then again, in snow and ice, I think I do prefer to have traction on my soles, and also with a high enough shaft that the snow won't fall into my shoes. So Ill stick to my blundstones for this weather, and hiking boots for hiking! But I'll see how it goes with thin soles when it's cold but relatively dry.

  • Ha, fellow teacher here, though for my country's equivalent to GED maths.

    I've never liked ankle support much. Never had running shoes that went up that high. My hiking shoes do, because on actual alpine trails I'd slice my ankles to bits on the rocks otherwise, but I never lace them up all the way to the top.

    I love going genuinely barefoot, like no shoes at all, when I just go on a little walk through the forest. Always have, to the point that it was a rule in my house that we had to hose ourselves down before coming inside when I was a kid. But that's soft ground. Never gotten used to gravel, but even just a super thin sole may do the trick!

    In case you live somewhere that gets cold some of the year, do you wear minimal shoes then, too? I feel like there wouldn't be much insulation

  • Thank you so much for the insights! I'll be trying barefoot shoes for sure. Are they comfy on course gravel? My park runs have a bunch of that.

    That sounds right up my alley, nice!

  • But think of the landlords!

  • Semi relatedly, there's some new blocks in my city that are both ugly and expensive to live in. It's this soulless, almost corporate feeling type of architecture. Doesn't fit into how the city looks at all. They had the opportunity to decide whether to build affordable housing or something pretty that aesthetically fits into the city and picked neither. No doubt the shareholders shed a tear of joy.

  • What a fascinating recommendation, thank you! I'm intrigued

    Since you brought up the minimalist shoes: one thing that's conflicting is thaty orthopedist recommended I always wear my orthotics when running or hiking while my physiotherapist recommended walking, and if possible running, barefoot as much as possible. I'm looking into barefoot shoes once it gets warmer (those thin soles aren't super appealing in the current freezing temps). I'll start out wearing them casually and see how it goes.

  • Thanks for the tips! Now that you mention it, too-high cadence might very well be a big issue of mine. I've noticed I even do that while walking too: my non-leisurly walking pace, that I keep when I'm walking to work or running errands, is like 7km/h. So I'm taking some big ass steps (I'm 172cm), which is probably not the best idea. For sure even worse when running, with the higher impact.

  • Thanks for the advice! But yeah, as much as it sucks, I'd rather be bored during exercise than injure myself. I guess I'll have to start in parallel with swimming so I don't lose my cardio! I do have a a repertoire of exercises my physio taught me, I'll have to get back to doing them diligently.

  • I'm talking about kinesio tape. https://www.healthline.com/health/how-to-tape-a-knee

    I'm seeing an orthopedist and, when needed, a radiologist. I went through a round fo physio therapy too. Afaik a specialized sports doctor wouldn't be part of public health insurance. Either that, or it's just so happens that the ones in my city are all private. It's a pretty gentrified city with lots of rich people moving here for a few months or years specifically for sports (it's in the alps).

  • I mean if you just talk about your profession and never link anything, surely it won't look like an ad? And it's a fascinating profession that I'm sure people like to learn about.
