    in Increasing Measured Cadence using Foot Pedometer Comment by billscreen March 2015
  • PF (piriformis) that flares up in my left glute after some runs (especially hills). It's in a region that's difficult to massage and stretch. Strengthening has been really helpful, but if I miss a few workouts, it comes back with interest.
    in How many little nagging injuries do you have? Comment by billscreen March 2015
  • Yes, it's certainly a challenge. I'm going to keep practicing and set my first target at 170.

I was already rather lean (by American standards), being 6'2 / 183 lbs, however, this is the first time in my life that I've ever…

  • Thanks all for the warm welcome. @sjb74uk‌ I went through 7 or 8 pairs of the ASICS Men's GEL-Nimbus 14s and really enjoyed the responsiveness of the shoe. I don't switch up shoes that often, but last year when I made the jump to Kayano 20, I haven't looked back; the shoe itself is not really leaps and bounds better than…
