Which is fine as long as you know you are physically able to snatch, unfortunately I need to test the water to see if it is possible, and hopefully eat away at the dread of doing them.


Leave it till the day. Whether you can or you can't won't change. You'll just know about it. Ignorance is bliss Happy

I prefer Bench Press for wine bar Fridays!

Jeff, you do wrap your wrists when snatching don't you?

I something suffer with a little wrist pain but find wrapping them alleviates it by 95%. Obviously, your wrists are in a significantly worse state of disrepair than mine, if you don't mind me saying.

I do indeed wrap my wrist when snatching but it doesnt make a blind bit of difference to the pain. The pain i get is all in the hand when i release the bar from overhead. I've tried all sorts to alleviate it but with no success, including two operations on it.

In short my right wrist is cream crackered unfortunately Unhappy

Pennington Parkrun 5k: 32:23

Still painfully slow but 37 seconds less slow than last week


This is my 5km time pretty much at the moment...

Sadly (maybe) I'm motivated to improve beyond an average of 6mph towards 7mph for my treadmill sessions

Is it easier for you to run outside or on a treadmill?

Phil, Jeffs treadmill is outside, like Rocky's ring.

I've never really run on a treadmill so i wouldnt know. My assumption is that treadmill running would be easier as you can set the speed and there would be an element of the machine carrying you along a little bit. Plus, there is no wind, rain, snow, hills, mud, or puddles to slow you down.

That being said my pace during a 5k outdoors, multi terrain, run changes as i go along so dont know how i would cope at a continuous steady pace on a treadmill

Good point

When outdoors you can give it a lot more I feel... That an the fact there is a finish line

I am yet to become strongly biased towards either the treadmill or outdoors currently so am firmly undecided

You are right about the wind pushing you along though Wink and you can rest as you run downhill...still the park run won't be that much easier in don't think Grin

In three weeks time (I keep saying this) I want to do my first park run

Looking at the video, I think there is more there also. Might try a bit more next week.

The big question is Monday, snatch or no snatch?
