I get this when I do extended runs of 3+ hours and there's not much you can do about it unless you go down the drastic surgery route. I'd suggest you find yourself a top notch sports podiatrist and get it properly dealt with s...

Running/excercising for 20+ hours non-stop and not having any rest the mind gets...

I need to pick up a standard pair of Army boots this weekend for an upcoming POC. Does anyone know what I should ask for exactly bootwise ( I hav a pair of black Lowas for mountaineering but I presume these would be frowned upon during the POC :roll: ) and also recommend a resonably priced shop in L...

Does anyone remeber a photo of a bunch of yank SF lads doing the rounds at the commencement of land action in Afganistan. It was a bunch of US lads armed to the teeth with all the gizmos attached onto their rifles, kited with their usual oakleys and wild beards, moseying around on horses. One SF lad...
