Just got mine a few weeks ago. Best shoe I’ve ever had by far. Not cheap, but they are the best IMO. Love them!

Another great Video. Looks like a tough session this. Smashing it

Must try this one. Your videos are fantastic for all round training motivation

What a session! I need to be banging out sessions like this James I think it would really help. 💪😎🤘

That looks a tough one James, nice to see little Rufus chilling in the background, hope he is getting on well.

Nice work James. I have not progressed to double KB exercises yet. I’m still practicing the basics, clean and press, TGU etc I have recently introduced KB shin box extensions to my routines in an attempt to fix my tight hips / weak glutes. Great stuff as usual 👍

I just thought that would be a lot lighter, but with the react Phone, which is kind of heavy, I guess that’s normal

What kind of split do you do or do you do full body training? And how often per week?

Late to the party here. I’m in my 60s and not a runner but have recently started suffering badly with PF. I think you’re right, shoes make a helluva difference. All the old advice just wasn’t working so I switched to an old pair of zero drop Merrell’si had in the wardrobe and immediately found some relief. Doing some research, it seems most advice from physios is at least 30-40 years old! And the one study that is more up to date had 14 “experts” and 40 study patients, not many considering the size of the UK population! Anyway, I found and American podiatrist on TH-cam who’s advice is contrary to everyone else but it works! The towel gripping exercise, getting rid of narrow shoes, etc, etc, and strengthening the foot seems to be the key. This doesn’t happen with regular shoes and trainers which actively encourage heel strike. Going to zero drop I’ve noticed I walk entirely differently because heel strike without the padding is incredibly painful! Anyway, I decided to that although I’d like to progress to barefoot shoes eventually at the moment I need some cushioning so I got a pair of Altra Provision 6s. Wow, they are incredible- zero drop with some shock absorption, what could be better? But I’m now convinced strengthening the feet, ankles and legs is the key to getting rid of plantar fasciitis, not just getting “well padded, supportive shoes” as this doesn’t allow for good circulation, which seems, by many accounts, to be incredibly important.

How often do you train calisthenics during a week?

Loving the content. I wear Vivos for everything apart from running it's Altras. I do bars and rings with Kettlebells in my garden, and the main reason for the following is that I also have a little BT 😃

We have negative heels in college 50 years ago. They had very wide toe boxes. They were called Earth Shoes. Weird to walk in, but then Earth sold its name or changed its shoes I don’t know.

Yes I love them because of the toebox, the zoomx, how well they run even on the road, and how dirty they get! Got 600km on my first pair, and second pair ready to go! Protip: wait for a Nike discount code to buy these

Nice! I was wondering how long your foot is in cm and which size you use in the Lone Peak? Which size would you use in the Altra Mountain King? Altra is remaking the shoe 😊

You're a beast for talking while doing the cleans and lunges btw.

Timp 5 silhouette for the timp fan, no holes, boa, check it out

Great workout! Is there any advantage doing kettlebells etc in barefoot trainers over Altra's or even regular trainers?

Good stuff :)

Great workout 👍 the KB clean to rear lunge really gets my HR up 🥵 thanks for posting.

I ran 100km race in Nike ultraflys and ruined my feet. Put them in the bin

🔥

Word just got out they are going to sell these again.

Looking forward to seeing the new direction fir the channel. I"m in my mid 40's and after years of CV exercise only, i have recently discovered the versatility and benefits of kettlebell training. 💪🏻

Excellent video.

The toe curl stretch is awesome!

Great channel...ironically I am doing moving away from solely running to a more 'complete' fitness regime, KB's, body weight, skipping. Plant based warrior. Keep up the good work. I hope that your dog improves,. Big BT fan.

Have you tried doing a Murph before? Hardest workout I've ever done and great story behind it too!

Dude, if I tried that at the end of my driveway my neighbours would call the hospital and have me sectioned 😵‍💫😂 looks like a super tough workout thou 💪🏼

how old are you, if I can ask you?

👌

Great stuff, I also love strength and conditioning. Kettlebell, club bell, weighted vest training etc. looking forward to your future videos 💪👍

Maybe a silly question but what’s Rucking?

Glad life is settling back down for you. I for one will enjoy the new focus of the channel. I feel like rucking suits my body better than running now

Great to see you back, James. I was just about to text you to see where you were. Great stuff in the course and I hope Rufus is doing well. Adaptations is what life is all about!

Even though I got interested in your channel for running, we should all be doing more strength and Conditioning work, so maybe the shift in content will encourage the likes of me to do more variety as well. Hope Rufus is getting on alright. Take care.

👍 LG Stephan

👍💪

It really takes some doing to get the momentum back after a break. Good to see you at it again. All the best to little Rufus 👍

Glad that your dog is ok now and his condition is managed. Are you still planning on going back and trying the Thames Path 100 again?

My diabetic Yorkshire Terrier Ziggy died in 2021 having spent the previous 8 years with the condition. It was very restrictive to have to inject him twice a day, no holidays abroad etc. But it was a privilege to look after him and Worth all the sacrifices and expense. Love your channel incidentally.

Glad to hear Rufus is alright mate. Sounds like you have been mega busy mate. I look forward to hearing some nutritional advice it's always helpful. Hopefully we can try and get a run in over the holidays 🤞

Hi mate, quality review. Thanks for it. I am looking for some trail boots and Nike Kiger 9 is also on the list. What about running in the mud? Do they slip or not?

Just received mine an hour ago. Got 9's because my other Altra's are 9's. They are tight. If I'd seen this first I would have gone up half a size. If I take the insole out they feel better so maybe a thinner insole? People with wider feet buy Altra's so why do this? So thanks for the good review.

Hi! Can you recommend me the size ? I'm 27.3cm for each foot. Should i take 10 or 10.5 ? Thanks

I know this is an old video, but isn`t it 6X pro OR 6X sapphire? You can`t get a 6X pro sapphire combined

Hi where I. The uk could I go try the Altra shoes on thanks

What kind of shoes do you use for everyday life?

Are these true to size or did you go up half a size? I’ve got wide feet just wondered on length

Interesting, sounds good. I got the Wildhorse 8 but find it very brick-like. Curiously it also doesn' t have a toe-bumper where this lighter and more nimble one does. Maybe I should try this one.

How did the boot hold up so far?
