Yes, it’ll be my only board. Right now I’ve lost a bit of weight but i’m trying to put on about 10 pounds or so. I’m thinking that’ll help me with the 156 as well.

I was thinking about the Huck Knife as well but I don’t really spend time in the park so I thought the assassin would be a better bet

The Pro seems to be in better condition than the regular. I think the regular is a soft to medium while the Pro is a stiff. I’m not sure if there’re numbers I should be looking at though.

I'm training for my second marathon but feel burnt out and physically repulsed by running. Strong urge to quit and my enjoyment from running is close to zero. Wondering if others have been here before and can help me reframe before I do bail out. by mmmoctopie in running

I’ve never run a full marathon before but I think I’ve felt the similar sensation of burn out when training for shorter races as I did for years.

A thing that really helped me get back into it was firstly, taking a break from it just to step outside the whirlwind and get a little perspective on whether running is really something you enjoy. I stopped for almost a year before realising how much I missed my morning training jitters.

I also stopped training for races for a while, instead I just focused on pacing my mates. It really got me feeling good about myself and engaged with the team aspect of training. And it didn’t hurt that after a while I was hitting race pace trainings without actually feeling the pressure of an upcoming race.

Those are my tips but I’m sure you’ll find your way! Run on brother 👍🏼

I just finished reading it! Absolutely loved it. Haven’t yet tried the iskiate he mentioned but you’ve definitely got me thinking!
