Nellers Apr 2020 11:30am, 15 Apr 2020 36,079 posts	0 Nellers I think my running PBs are behind me to be honest, but that's more because of the achilles than lack of fitness/motivation. In terms of cardio health, strength, endurance etc I know I'm in a much better state than I was, and my diet is better most days, although yesterday involved significant percentages of the three major food groups: Beer, Pizza and Cake.
