Thanks Shane. I will order one and see if that helps.

Used to have a pair of those shoes and eventually stopped going really heavy on squats so I threw them out. The podiatrist got me some custom orthotic inserts that really help with arch support. Have been using those in my gym shoes. A lot of the problems I have right now seem to be from wearing flip flops and climbing ladders. 
That’s awesome that wearing those healed your ankle pain. It’s amazing how sometimes slight changes can make a big difference.

Comments: The foot is feeling mostly better, but I still don’t want to put any load on it until I’m sure it is better. I wanted to do a Murph Prep metcon but, didn’t want to do squats so I subbed in Seated DB Ground to Overheads. (I saw Josh Bridges doing similar stuff while rehabbing a knee injury a few weeks ago). Those definitely didn’t hit as hard as squats but did, at least, give me some sort of dynamic movement to keep the heart rate up. I did push-ups with a foam roller under my shins to keep the weight off of my foot. Spent too much time going between stations but that is to be expected when modifying everything to much. Decent metcon. Punched the clock…

Nice swim yesterday. Great job knocking 2 minutes off your time.
Nice time on that metcon and good lifting session to follow it.
I hear you on the stress.

Had to leave for Myrtle Beach really early this morning so I took the day off. Ankle is still a little sore. Seems like this may last forever…
Sorry to hear the ankle is still giving you fits. 
Rest it and hopefully it will feel better by next week.

Comments: Good session. Ankle is still hurting but was able to get some leg work in. No pain at all on Cybex Squat Press so that might be the go-to leg machine for a while. Little pain on the reverse lunges too. Air squats still hurt a little. Might make an appointment with my regular doctor to get his opinion… Will check the journals at work.

Nice workout Trent. Good to see you were able to find a squat that doesn’t bother your ankle.
A lot of good work in that session. Definitely put in some nice volume on that push/pull combo and then added in some great leg work to finish off a strong full body workout. Very nice!

Thanks Shane. Was glad to get in some sort of leg pressing work. Yep, plenty of volume on the push/pull sets.

Comments: I was going to go for a swim but need a break from it. It’s good exercise, but it’s so boring… Went to the gym and just decided to do a bunch of stuff for an hour of cardio. I called it death by cardio but I’m sure I’m not the first to coin that term. Ha ha… Mission accomplished.

Nice work Trent. That looked to be a hell of a cardio session. Definitely would help to keep it interesting!

Thanks Shane. Yeah, an hour of work at almost 100% of max HR is going to get the job done… As I mentioned, swimming is good exercise but good Lord is it boring. At least at the gym you can listen to music, people watch and say hello to folks.
BTW- I did a mile or two on the Peloton this morning and it felt good. Definitely not pushing it hard but I might be able to do a Low Impact ride in the next few days.

Comments: This was a combination of “let’s see how the foot does on the bike” and Murph prep. Good metcon. Probably a one minute break between bike and Murph stuff to put bike shoes on and off. Minimal pain. Done.

Comments: Still taking it easy but man was I grateful to be back in the saddle again… The only ankle pain I had was snapping in and out of the pedals. I only came out of the saddle once or twice, just to see how it felt. I still wouldn’t want to go balls to the walls but am feeling confident that I can ride again. Generally, I rode 5% ahead on resistance on that one. Done.
