i went to a running store and got my foot measured and checked (pause) and they recommended these.
they had me run on a treadmill and do a bunch of things to see what shoe was best for me. told them i wanted something to run fast in

the brand is owned/founded by a powerlifter who has competed at the world level so you know its not some brand made by influencers with no credentials

nah, but i have designed a few…things have definitely changed of recent with the extremely cushioned models that add some element for energy return/stiffness, usually folk looking to run fast are in less cushioning but ‘fast’ is relative; walking, jogging, running, sprinting all have a different ‘fast’

What would you consider the best overall (affordable) running shoes?

i couldn’t tell you, tho if you #doyagoogles running shoe info is easy enough to get multiple informed reviews & lists of all sorts….
if you really want to optimize your performance you can start with asking some questions 1st, how do you run? where you will be running? what kind of distances/mileage you want to run? do you heel strike, mid foot, or more on forefoot toes? are your feet narrow or wide? do you have preexisting conditions/injuries? how heavy/light are you? do you prefer a firmer or softer ride (
)?

My motivation for the day is... "baby steps lead to big steps." I did not feel like enduring the heat this morning... but I told myself if I just start with baby steps... I will eventually warm up into taking bigger steps. It worked. Below is a video of me shooting around this morning. New camera angle, same results. Happy Friday everyone. Peace.

My right groin has been acting up. A lot of my game in jiu jitsu is from closed guard and it hurts every time I wrap my thighs around dudes (no diddy).

first dedicated run in a while (besides basketball twice a week)
i quit vaping in september of 23’ so im almost a year clean, and i can 100% say my chest feels a lot better. before, trying to condition felt like someone was squeezing my lungs and throat, and they still haven’t fully recovered from it but they’re a lot better now

I submitted a purple belt visiting from France this morning. I feel like I just defended my gym and country's honor. 
That sneaky brute strength kimura never fails.

mayne i joined the Transformation Contest at the local Crunch, 8 weeks. Did the weigh ins, in body scan, and measurements then the out at the end was last week. Lost 17lbs, 5%bf, and I forget how many inches. Didnt win in under 40, but the winner lost 7lbs and allegedly 21 inches but I’m calling shenanigans and not having the same person do everyone’s tape or even each person’s was obviously an issue. I told her when she was doing mine the previous did my waist at my narrowest point, she did bellybutton so that would have me gaining inches. But even still I lost more than 2x as dude and lowkey he has not a single muscle and I can out everything him. When they make the poster it’s not even going to look like much happened. She did say other things would factor in too so maybe he got credit for not missing the group workout days but i couldnt make the 6am on Tuesday ones. First prize was $1000 and a year membership. Yes I am hating

I heard purple belts are basically black betls except they just dont go to practice that much (or something along those lines)
also jackie chan is prob the greatest action movie star of all time.
